Key Forwards to Consider for Fantasy Premier League 2026/27

The Fantasy Premier League 2026/27 season emphasizes the importance of selecting the right forwards for team success. Managers are encouraged to consider five key players, including Erling Haaland, who is a popular choice among team owners.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, priced at 6.0m, is highlighted for his scoring potential, having netted three goals in two pre-season matches. His strong underlying statistics from the previous season, including a high expected goals (xG) total, make him a valuable asset. Haaland, despite his high cost of 15.5m, is seen as a must-have due to his impressive goal-scoring record and significant ownership among managers.

Joao Pedro has emerged as a top Chelsea attacker, scoring five goals in four pre-season games, while Igor Jesus has shown promise with four goals in Nottingham Forest's pre-season matches. Lastly, Igor Thiago from Brentford is noted for his strong performance last season, making him a viable option for early fixtures. These forwards present various strategies for Fantasy Premier League managers as they prepare for the upcoming season.
