The Best Forwards
Premier League forwards bear the greatest responsibility for scoring goals.
Scoring goals primarily hinges on accurate footwork, making shooting a vital attribute for forwards. Physicality is also crucial, comprising three key stats: jumping ability for heading, strength to outmuscle opponents, and stamina to make those crucial sprints towards the goal.
However, for strikers, possessing excellent shooting and heading skills may not be enough, depending on the style of play and formation. In such scenarios, pace becomes indispensable, especially in games that prioritize counter-attacking strategies.
At the moment, FC 25 players have not yet been tested, so the analyses currently published on this page pertain to FC 24.
Global Overview (CF, ST)
Haaland is the best forward playing in England and, naturally, the most expensive. Among all, he has the best shot and physical attributes, the two most important characteristics in a player who plays in this position.
If you’re playing with a second man up front, we recommend choosing Darwin. Fast and very powerful, the Uruguayan is one of the pleasant surprises in this game. Unless you’re using him on the wing, where he performs better, Rashford is also an option to consider, although he’s much more expensive.
If what you’re looking for is someone who plays behind the striker, Nkunku has characteristics that might suit your preferences.
Among more affordable options, we recommend three players who are very similar to each other: Diogo Jota, Gabriel Jesus, and Cody Gakpo. In our opinion, the Portuguese’s Weak Foot is the differentiating factor. There are other players who could be among our choices, like Sterling, Fati, and Danjuma, but they are not included due to their weak physical attributes. If your style of play doesn’t require players with these characteristics, you may consider them for your team.
For very low-budget squads, we strongly recommend trying Beto, an excellent player that many players will use this year.
