There are just 3 slots for strikers in every FPL team, but all those slots rarely feature together in the first team, know the best budget forwards in the 2022/23 season
As such, choosing the best budget strikers is essential for every FPL manager.
The popularity of strikers has deteriorated in recent FPL seasons, owing to their failure to keep up with other positions. Most often, FPL managers keep one premium striker and choose cheaper options for the other two.

It is important to pick the best budget strikers for your FPL, especially if you are regularly going to feature just one premium striker.
Honorable mentions: Some honourable mentions are Manchester United’s Anthony Martial (£7.0m), Fulham’s Aleksander Mitrovic (£6.5m), and Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke (£6.0).
Given below are some of the best FPL budget strikers
The best FPL budget strikers
Chris Wood (New) (£6.0)
Chris Wood joined Newcastle for £25m in the January transfer window alongside Kieran Trippier. Since then, Wood has been phenomenal for the club, helping the side achieve a break-through season.
Despite joining only mid-season, Wood still racked up 91 points. This points total puts him well above strikers like Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal and Anthony Martial from Man Utd, who are currently priced at £1 million more than him.
Rowe sees Wood as a central player in his rebuilding plans, and the manager is bound to give him lots of time to improve.
Bryan Mbeumo (BRE) (£6.0)
Bryan Mbeumo has a good set of solid fixtures ahead of the new season. Despite his lack of goal returns last season, Mbeumo still managed to salvage 119 points in total, even with his inexpensive price tag. Making him a good budget striker choice
The massive return points along with a good run of fixtures along-side teammate Ivan Toney, who is £1m more expensive, make Mbuemo a good differential option.
But since he has converted from a midfielder to a striker just this season, he will not be able to produce as many points as last season. His points for each goal will be reduced by one, and he will not receive any points for clean sheets.
Cameron Archer (AST) (£4.5 million)
Cameron Archer had a strong pre-season. Though he may not feature as a regular first-team player for his team, he is the cheapest striker in FPL.
This may not sound impressive, but it makes him one of the most useful players to keep on the bench.
Since he is the cheapest possible striker in FPL, managers like to keep him on the bench to avoid wasting funds on a sitting player.
Brennan Johnson (BOR) (£6.0)
Brennan Johnson is a winger for Nottingham Forest who was truly a sensation last season. He went on to score 19 goals across all competitions.
This year, as Forest get promoted to the Premier League, it is Johnson’s debut season in the league and the manager can only hope for good value for money.
Ivan Toney (BRE) (£7.0m)
The Brentford talisman, Ivan Toney, has been a solid rock for Brentford, even in the past seasons. He was the fifth highest-scoring forward last season, making him one of the best budget strikers in FPL.
Last year was Brentford’s debut season in the Premier League, where he netted 12 goals and five assists for 139 FPL points.
Besides that, a good aspect of the 26-year-old is that he gets the team’s penalties and he also has a solid run of fixtures ahead of the game.
