Page 2 - FPL 2020/21: Top 5 Budget Forwards this season

#3 Aleksandar Mitrovic (FUL)(£6.0m)

The 25-year old is one of the most popular FPL options.

Fulham's main man up front, Aleksandar Mitrovic, is one of the most popular FPL picks right now. His price and prolific goalscoring record could be the reason why over 27% of FPL managers have included the Serb in their team.

Mitrovic scored 26 goals and provided three assists in the Championship last season, and was the main point of attack for the Cottagers. His performance in the 18/19 season of the Premier League, before Fulham got relegated, was very impressive. He scored eleven goals and provided three assists that season, with an impressive xG stat of 15.45.

His physique, strength, and finishing make him one of the best strikers on this list, but Fulham, as a team, could struggle in the top flight. While he's certainly a solid FPL pick, Fulham's fixtures must be considered before picking him.

#2 Jay Rodriguez (BUR)(£6.0m)

Jay Rodriguez used his opportunity very well.

Burnley's Jay Rodriguez went under the radar for most of last season, but he could prove to be a great budget option in FPL this season. The 31-year old used the opportunity which arose from injuries to lead strikers Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes and led the line admirably well.

He scored eight goals and supplied two assists, registering 100 FPL points, playing just 2000 minutes. He recorded an impressive xG stat of 8.96 and also had a great shots-per game stat of 3.03 as well.

Rodriguez seems to be one of Sean Dyche's first-choice strikers and is expected to line-up alongside Chris Wood this season. At £6.0m, he could have a great season and is a good budget option to consider in FPL.

#1 Che Adams (SOU)(£6.0m)

Che Adams(C) scored a stunner from more than 40-yards out to break his Southampton duck.

A lot was expected of Che Adams in his debut season with Southampton, after being signed from Birmingham City. The forward had a disappointing season, though, and failed to meet expectations for most of the part. The pandemic break, however, gave him enough time to get himself together, and he performed very well in the last few games for his side.

Adams finished the season with four goals and four assists, with all four goals coming post the coronavirus-induced break. He has slowly secured his place in the side alongside Danny Ings and featured heavily in the Saints' pre-season games.

Having settled in last season, this could be the season in which Che Adams shines, and at £6.0 m, playing for a promising Southampton side, he's a great budget FPL option.
