Forwards have been resurgent in FPL this season, with Erling Haaland quite literally changing the game.

He hasn’t been the only one though, with four of the top five Premier League scorers all listed as forwards this season. So, who should we be going for?

The case for Mitrovic has only grown since Fulham were given a double gameweek against Leicester City and Chelsea. Mitrovic will be a key player for those fixtures as the…
