The 2024–2025 Premier League season spanned 38 thrilling gameweeks, packed with unforgettable moments and iconic goals — many of which came from the league’s top strikers, the classic “Number 9s.”
In this article, we take a closer look at the most impactful Fantasy Premier League forwards of the season — the players who made a real difference on the pitch and became game-changers for bold FPL managers.
1‑ Chris Wood
Chris Wood was undoubtedly one of the biggest surprises of the 2024–2025 Fantasy Premier League season. Bursting onto the scene as early as Gameweek 2, he stunned fans and managers alike with his outstanding performances.
Playing for Nottingham Forest, Wood scored 20 goals and provided 3 assists, racking up over 200 FPL points. By Gameweek 5, he had become one of the most selected forwards in the game, thanks to his consistent returns and reliability.
This remarkable form made him an essential pick for many FPL managers, especially those looking for a high-value striker with a strong record of delivering in crucial moments.
2 - Alexander Isak
Despite a disappointing start to the first 10 gameweeks of the 2024–2025 Fantasy Premier League season, Alexander Isak experienced a dramatic turnaround in the second third of the campaign.
The Swedish striker became a key figure in Newcastle’s push for Champions League qualification, finishing the season with 23 goals and 6 assists. His stats made him the second-highest goal scorer in the Premier League and the top-performing striker during clutch moments.
Thanks to this incredible surge in form, Isak became a go-to option for FPL managers seeking attacking power and consistency — especially in the business end of the season when every point counted.
3 - Erling Haaland
No discussion of the best Fantasy Premier League forwards in the 2024–2025 season would be complete without mentioning Erling Haaland — last season’s Golden Boot winner and once again one of the league’s most dominant strikers.
Haaland delivered another powerful and consistent campaign, scoring 22 goals and providing 2 assists, accumulating around 190 FPL points. His steady performance throughout the season made him an irreplaceable asset in almost every successful fantasy squad.
Thanks to his reliability, goal-scoring instinct, and explosive potential, Haaland remained a cornerstone of the FPL attack and a top captaincy option week in and week out.
4 - Wissa
Yoane Wissa was the dark horse of the 2024–2025 Fantasy Premier League season — just as we predicted at Fantasy 24 Club from the very start. Despite having a low ownership of under 10%, Wissa proved himself to be one of the most effective forwards in terms of goal output.
He netted 19 goals and provided 4 assists, playing a crucial role in his team’s success — and notably matching Bryan Mbeumo’s assist tally.
Wissa’s standout performances made him a smart differential pick for managers seeking high value and consistent returns, especially in the mid-price forward category.
5 - Ollie Watkins
Ollie Watkins is the kind of player you can always bet on in Fantasy Premier League. As the backbone of Aston Villa in their new era and a key figure under Unai Emery, Watkins delivered a standout season.
He scored 16 goals and provided 8 assists, directly contributing to 24 goals for his team.
This impressive output made him one of the most impactful and consistent forwards in terms of goal involvement throughout the 2024–2025 season — a reliable option for any FPL manager aiming for steady returns.
With the conclusion of the 2024–2025 Premier League season, it’s clear that selecting the right strikers was the decisive factor in scoring points and succeeding in Fantasy Premier League.
Players like Chris Wood, Alexander Isak, Erling Haaland, and others proved to be the backbone of every successful fantasy team.
