FPL Gameweek 35 Tips: Gianni Buttice Highlights 3 Forwards Who Deserve More Attention for the Run-In 4w2m52

Ahead of an action-packed FPL Gameweek 35, Gianni Buttice has shed light on three forwards who should be on your radar as we head into the final phase of the 2024-25 Premier League campaign. 

Engaged managers and content creators alike are bee-lining for the same players, with Bryan Mbeumo, Jarrod Bowen, Omar Marmoush, and Matheus Cunha having all been hugely popular in recent weeks, and rightly so. But there is a second tier of attackers who are perhaps just as good FPL options who aren’t getting the airtime they deserve. Here are three forwards I like for the run-in who all have plenty to play for as their teams chase European football.

FPL Gameweek 35 Tips: Gianni Buttice Recommends 3 Underrated Forwards for the Run-In ka8

Yoane Wissa (£6.6m – 129 Points) 4sx41

Brentford’s Yoane Wissa is an elite finisher and is the number 9 for a team who create more big chances than the vast majority of their competitors. Under 15% owned and often in the shadows of teammate Mbeumo, Wissa, in his own right, is a great pick for the final four games against Manchester United, Ipswich, Fulham and Wolves as The Bees attempt to finish the season strong after some time off last week. Only 10 players have more FPL points than Wissa this season, who is a massively underrated option.

Ollie Watkins (£8.9m – 168 Points) 16k22

Ollie Watkins has been in and out of the Aston Villa team in recent weeks, with the emergence of Marcus Rashford being used as a Number 9. Rashford is now likely to miss the rest of the season, and Watkins will therefore be a set-and-forget option for Unai Emery for the run-in. The England man will feel like he has a point to prove and has a higher ceiling than most in the game. With fixtures against Fulham, Bournemouth, Spurs and Manchester United to come, Watkins will be confident of adding to his 15 goals and 7 assists.

Chris Wood (£7.0m – 184 Points) u3n1j

Chris Wood feels like he is the forgotten man in the FPL community. Still 28% owned but mostly from inactive teams, the number 9’s form could be the deciding factor in whether Nottingham Forest secure a Top 5 finish. His 19 goals from 11 XG show what an unbelievable season the number 9 has had in front of goal. Wood will surely be excited about the prospect of facing his next three opponents in Crystal Palace, Leicester and West Ham before a final day showdown against Chelsea at The City Ground, which could be a winner-takes-all.
