The Top Forwards in Fantasy Premier League GW – 12
As the Premier League approaches the midpoint of the season after 11 gameweeks, Fantasy managers are preparing to make crucial decisions that could change the course of their teams. In this comprehensive guide, Fantasy 24 Club presents the top Fantasy Premier League player picks for Gameweek 12, with detailed analysis of performance, opponents, and expected stats.
In this article, we highlight the best strikers for Gameweek 12 of the Premier League—players who are strong contenders for this season’s Golden Boot!
Igor Thiago – £6.3m
Brentford continues to deliver its usual surprises each season. Following the departures of Ivan Toney and the standout Moises Caicedo, a new name has emerged, capturing everyone’s attention: Igor Thiago. The Portuguese striker has become one of this season’s biggest discoveries in the Premier League, scoring 8 goals in 11 matches and reaching 60 Fantasy Premier League points so far.
Thiago currently ranks second in the Premier League’s top scorers list, making him one of the top attacking options ahead of Gameweek 12. With an upcoming fixture against Brighton—a team with an average defensive record—and having won the Player of the Week award in the previous round, Thiago is one of the best picks you can rely on for your Fantasy lineup this week.
João Pedro – £7.6m
João Pedro, as recommended by our AI last gameweek, is considered an ideal pick for your Fantasy lineup this season. He is one of the players most likely to score points in Fantasy this round, especially with an upcoming fixture against Burnley, the weakest defensive team this season. Being a regular starter for Chelsea makes him an even more valuable option. The AI predicts that João Pedro could earn 8 Fantasy points in this gameweek!
Mateta – £7.8m
Mateta is always the underrated option among Premier League strikers. While he may not be the first name that comes to mind as a top Fantasy points scorer, he consistently scores and competes for the Golden Boot. His upcoming fixture against Wolverhampton—the second weakest defense in the Premier League this season—makes Mateta, Crystal Palace’s star striker, a must-have in your lineup. Importantly, he has already scored 6 goals this season, meaning he is in peak physical form.
Ekpitike – £8.6m
Having returned from injury, Ekpitike is set to reclaim his spot in Liverpool’s starting lineup, especially after impressing for France during the international week. So far, he has contributed 39 Fantasy points for Liverpool, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists in five goal involvements. With an upcoming fixture against Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 12, having Ekpitike in your lineup could help you rack up more Fantasy points!
Gameweek 12 could be the turning point in your season, and picking the right striker is the first step toward climbing the Fantasy rankings. Stay tuned to Fantasy 24 Club for the latest updates and top picks based on statistical analysis and AI insights.
