Top 5 Budget Forwards to have in your FPL side: Fantasy Premier League | FPL Scout

2) Diogo Jota (WOL, 6.5m)

Crusaders v Wolverhampton Wanderers – UEFA Europa League Second Qualifying round: 2nd Leg

Classified as a midfielder last season, the Player of the Championship in Wolves’ promotion campaign started the season slowly but came to the fore once Wolves shifted him to a striker role alongside Raul Jimenez in a 3-5-2.

Over the last 12 gameweeks of the season (gameweek 27-38), Diogo Jota matched his more expensive Mexican counterpart for goal involvements (four goals, three assists) and shots in the box (26).

He landed more shots on target (nine vs six), registered more ‘big chances’ (seven vs six) and also had more penalty area touches (57 vs 55). All these statistics indicate that the Portuguese can match the more expensive Jimenez for 1m cheaper. Europa league rotation is a slight concern with the signing of Patrick Cutrone, but the Italian is likely to be given time to adjust to the Premier League and the Portuguese should be nailed on to start earlier on in the season.
