<h2><strong>Best FPL Forwards for Gameweek 3</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Ollie Watkins (£8.0m) – Aston Villa</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Burnley (a)</strong></p>
<p>Ollie Watkins has always been a reliable pick, and has picked up an assist in each of his opening fixtures.</p>
<p>What was worrying though for owners is that he is no longer on penalties, and was subbed off early last gameweek too. However, this is likely to have been due to the game being won at the time, so I am not sure this will happen often.</p>
<p>Although this dents his appeal, he is still a good option for this week, as Aston Villa come up against Burnley (a).</p>
<p>Villa managed an <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/a-simple-guide-to-opta-stats-for-fpl/">Expected Goals (xG)</a> of 1.66 in their defeat in Gameweek 1 and scored four with an xG of 3.17 against Everton last week. They are clearly a good attacking side, and should have too much for Burnley.</p>
<p>Watkins can score and assist, and in most cases should get the 90 minutes also. Burnley are the best of the promoted sides but Villa are great going forward and Watkins is bound to cause problems for them.</p>
<p>Even without penalties, I expect Ollie to be his team’s top scorer – both in goals and fantasy points.</p>
<p>Ollie is the third highest predicted scoring forward (4.9 points) for Gameweek 3 according to our <strong><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub</a> <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">AI Tool.</a></strong></p>

<h3><strong>Nicolas Jackson (£7.0m) – Chelsea</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Luton Town (H)</strong></p>
<p>Nicolas Jackson has back to back one pointers in his opening fixtures, but the eye test and his underlying numbers look positive.</p>
<p>Jackson has looked sharp in the first two gameweeks, and has an xG of 0.53 and 0.79 in those two games.</p>
<p>He also has the second-highest non-penalty xG among forwards. It’s only a matter of time before he starts scoring, I feel, and he won't get a better chance to do that than Luton at home.</p>
<p>Chelsea haven’t had the best start, with only two goals in their first two games, but the fixtures were difficult. Luton at home should see much more success for Pochettino's side.</p>
<p>The Blues are the second favourites to score 2.5+ goals (52%) in Gameweek 3, and Jackson is the second favourite to score at anytime also at 50%.</p>
<p>He is actually also the second highest predicted scoring forward for Gameweek 3 compared to our <strong><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></strong></p>
<div id="attachment_57241" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-57241" class="size-full wp-image-57241" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Nicolas-Jackson-Stats-1.jpg" alt="Nicolas Jackson Stats. fantasy football tips" width="798" height="650" /></p>

<h3><strong>Alexander Isak (£7.7m) – Brighton </strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Liverpool (H)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Alexander Isak</strong> has had a decent start to the season, with two goals in his first two. The fixtures haven't been easy either, with Newcastle facing Aston Villa and Manchester City.</p>
<p>The Swede has started the first two games, which tells us that Eddie Howe prefers him as the number nine for now, and I think he will do the same against Liverpool in Gameweek 3.</p>
<p>Newcastle United have got off to a good start this season, putting five goals past Villa in Gameweek 1, and I see there being goals in this game too.</p>
<p>Liverpool’s defence isn't what it used to be, and this Newcastle team is arguably the fourth best team in the league.</p>
<p>Isak managed 10 goals and two assists in 17 starts last season, and nine of those goals were scored when playing at centre forward, so he is clearly much better there, especially from an FPL perspective.</p>
<p>The Toon are a good attacking team, so they will very likely score in this fixture, and will actually be favourites.</p>
<p>The Swede is at a very healthy 40% to score at anytime in Gameweek 3, and our<strong> <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool</a></strong> also ranks him as the third highest predicted scoring forward this week.</p>
<div id="attachment_57242" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-57242" class="size-full wp-image-57242" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Alexander-Isak-Stats.jpg" alt="Alexander Isak Stats. best forwards fpl" width="798" height="650" /></p>

<h3><strong>Erling Haaland (£14.0m) – Manchester City</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Sheffield United (a)</strong></p>
<p>Erling Haaland suffered a rare blank last gameweek, but that won't happen very often. He still had his chances, with four shots in the box and an xG of 0.35.</p>
<p>He scored the most goals  last season with the highest xG, and you would be a brave man to bet against him doing the same again.</p>
<p>Manchester City have one of their best fixtures of the season, as they take on newly promoted Sheffield United.</p>
<p>City’s attack is just too strong, and I would be surprised if they don't put more than a few past the Blades this week.</p>
<p>City are the second favourites to score 2.5+ goals (52%) for Gameweek 3, which isn't surprising, and Haaland is by far the favourite to score at anytime also at 62%.</p>
<p>With no Champions League football until after Gameweek 4, you would expect Haaland to get a lot of minutes in the first four weeks.</p>
<p>Haaland will no doubt be the highest captained player once again this week.</p>
<p>The Norwegian is also the highest predicted scoring player (8.3 points) overall for Gameweek 3 according to our <strong><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></strong></p>
<div id="attachment_57243" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-57243" class="size-full wp-image-57243" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Erling-Haaland-Stats-1.jpg" alt="Erling Haaland Stats" width="798" height="650" /></p>

<h3><strong>Yoane Wissa (£6.1m) – Brentford</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Crystal Palace (H)</strong></p>
<p>Yoane Wissa has had a fantastic start to the season, with two goals and an assist, and he sits as the highest scoring forward in the game so far. He has registered nine shots in the box with an xG of 1.42, which bodes well for future returns.</p>
<p>With more game time this season, he should do much better than his seven goals and four assists in 16 starts last term. He is looking fantastic value, and he has another good fixture this week for him to add to his attacking tallies.</p>
<p>Brentford play Crystal Palace at home in Gameweek 3 who are a decent team, but the Bee have the home advantage and are very good in the final third.</p>
<p>They scored the seventh most goals (58) last season with the eight-best xG (59.38).</p>
<p>They have started in a similar fashion this season, with five goals in the first two games, and Wissa has played a big part in that.</p>
<p>Wissa is the fourth highest predicted scoring forward (4.6 points) for Gameweek 3 according to our <strong><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></strong></p>
