Top five scorers overall

All of the top three scoring players in the game so far are forwards. This is something that we have rarely seen in recent FPL seasons. Usually the midfielders outscore the forwards, partially as a result of the extra point for a goal sas well as the potential for a clean sheet point. However, this season the forwards in the game have been in fantastic form with many FPL managers shifting their strategy in the early weeks to include three playing forwards instead of a burner slot.
Of the top five scoring players in the game two of them Ivan Toney and William Saliba could be considered as budget options. At their price points they are great enablers as well as being amongst the highest scoring players in the game.
Managers considering the double up with De Bruyne and Haaland or investment in Saliba should be mindful of the upcoming blank. Man City and Arsenal fail. to play in Gameweek 12 as a result of Arsenal’s rescheduled Europa League fixture.
