Criteria for picking budget fantasy Premier League forwards:
Affordability
This means that we will pick players that are affordable in fantasy football games. In FootballCoin. this generally refers to players rated up to 3* out of 5*. These players fly somewhat under the radar. They may not have the prestige of Mohamed Salah. But, they are dependable.
Goal scoring record
Simply playing in the Premier League is an honor bestowed on very few. Many forwards have learned the hard way just how it is to score goals in England. We’re picking players that have a proven goalscoring tally. Many play for lesser-known teams. It hasn’t however, stopped them from scoring goals.
Consistent fantasy football points tally
The best budget FPL forwards are just goalscorers. They contribute to their teams’ performance. In doing so, they are rewarded with points. In FootballCoin, for example, passes, assists, minutes played, etc. are all important attributes. These are cheap fantasy football players’ cards that pack a big punch.
Jarrod Bowen
Jarrod Bowen’s surge in form has coincided with West Ham’s rising up the ranks. The Hammers took a gamble on transferring the budget forward from Hull City. The gamble has paid off. Bowen has scored six goals this season. He is also the second highest-rated forward in FootballCoin. He’s earned more points than the likes of Raheem Sterling or Sadio Mane. File this under your FPL tips.
Raphinha
Raphinha isn’t exactly flying under the radar. After all, he was part of FootballCoin Team of the Year. However, is far from a household name yet. Raphinha has shone in a difficult period for Leeds.

Allan Saint-Maximin
Plenty of things are not going Newcastle’s way at the moment. Having rich owners, and depending on Allan Saint-Maximin are not two of the problems. The Frenchman’s skill has earned him plenty of praise. He is one of the few players that the Magpies’ fans can be just about certain they’ll see in the team’s jersey next season.
