<h2>Best FPL mid-priced forwards 2025/26</h2>
Here are our top selections:
<h3>Evanilson (£7.0m) - Bournemouth</h3>
Evanilson had a quietly impressive debut season in the Premier League, posting good underlying numbers despite missing a chunk of games. 
His 12.46 expected goals (xG) was the highest in Bournemouth’s team and his 23 big chances were among the league’s best for his price bracket.  
Crucially, he’s a near lock for starts, with no serious rotation threat. With Enes Unal still out injured, he should see plenty of game time. 
Bournemouth ranked fourth in the league for xG (64.27) and are a fantastic attacking side under Andoni Iraola.  
While Gameweek 1 at Anfield is tough, their fixtures improve quickly as they then play Wolves (H), Spurs (A), Brighton (H), Newcastle (H), Leeds (A) and Fulham (H).
At £7.0m, he’s one of the most reliable starters in the mid-price range and should provide good value throughout the season. 
Evanilson ranks fifth for predicted points (36.8) for the first eight gameweeks according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a>. This is among £7.5m forwards and below.

<h3>Jorgen Strand Larsen (£6.5m) - Wolves</h3>
Strand Larsen had a very impressive season, scoring 14 goals and four assists. 
He had a really good end-of-season run, where he managed seven goals and two assists in his final nine appearances. The Norwegian’s underlying stats were good too as he registered an xG of 10.4. <span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
With Matheus Cunha sold and Hwang Hee-chan struggling for consistent starts, Strand Larsen should get even more minutes now. He is probably the front runner to be the first-choice penalty taker.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
Although Gameweek 1 is a tough fixture against Manchester City (H), his schedule improves significantly afterwards. 
Wolves play Everton (H), Leeds (H), Spurs (A), Brighton (H), Sunderland (A) and Burnley (H) in their first 10. 
Priced at just £6.5m, he enables premium flexibility elsewhere and looks to be one of the more reliable mid-priced options.

<h3>Chris Wood (£7.5m) - Nottingham Forest</h3>
The Kiwi striker was one of last season’s biggest surprises.  
His 20 goals made him finish as the second highest-scoring forward in the game (200 points) and he did it with ruthless efficiency, converting more than 31% of his shots.  
The jury is out whether he will be able to replicate this but he seems a solid option regardless. 
He is the main man for Forest, nailed as their number nine and the first-choice penalty taker too.
Despite questions around sustaining his output, his early fixtures are very promising. At £7.5m, he’s slightly more expensive than others in this bracket but remains a good solid pick to start the season with.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
He is a proven Premier League player with years of experience and 89 goals to show for it over his career. <span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side play Brentford (H), West Ham (H), Burnley (A) and Sunderland (H) in their first six.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
It’s no surprise he <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">ranks first among £7.5m forwards</a> and below for predicted points (40.6) for the first eight gameweeks.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}">

<h3>Danny Welbeck (£6.5m) - Brighton</h3>
Welbeck rolled back the years with the most productive campaign of his career.  
He finished as Brighton’s top scorer, with 10 goals and five assists in only 24 starts. 
With Joao Pedro and Evan Ferguson both sold, the 34-year-old is likely to start the season as Brighton’s number nine under Fabian Hurzeler.  
Not only will this boost his expected minutes and goal share but it means he’s now very likely the Seagulls' penalty taker too.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
Brighton are a decent attacking side - they scored the fifth most goals (67) last season with an xG of 59.63 (ninth-best).<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
The Seagulls start with some tricky fixtures but do have some plum games like Fulham (H), Spurs (A) ,Wolves (A) and Leeds (H) in their first 10. 
At £6.5m he looks great value and cheap enough to use as a rotating attacker.

<h3>Dominic Solanke (£7.5m) - Spurs</h3>
Solanke looks like the best option among the mid-priced forwards. 
He scored a respectable nine goals and assisted five in 25 starts in his debut season for Spurs. It’s not as many expected, seeing as he netted 19 goals in the season before with Bournemouth. 
But it’s hard to be too critical, since he did suffer a few injuries and played in a dysfunctional Ange Postecoglou side. 
With a more balanced and organised Thomas Frank at the helm, if Solanke stays fit he should provide great value, especially at the start of the season when Spurs have very kind fixtures. 
He is their first-choice number nine and will surely get plenty of minutes. He may also be on penalties if Son Heung-min leaves this season. 
The South Korean has been linked with a move away but it doesn't look like he is the nailed option he once was anyway. 
Spurs play Burnley (H), Bournemouth (A), West Ham (A), Wolves (H), Leeds (A), and Aston Villa (H) in their first eight. <span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
I wouldn't be surprised if Solanke is one of the highest-scoring forwards after this run.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}">
