Fantasy Premier League Tips: 8 of the best forwards to transfer into your FPL team - including 68-goal hitman and Liverpool target
Ready to build your Fantasy Premier League team ahead of the new season, but not sure which strikers to include in your forward line? Don't worry, because we're going to be providing you our top tips for which strikers should be included in your squad. With a host of top quality goal-scorers to pick from, ensuring you pick the best three frontmen possible will be essential for FPL glory come May - especially when you are limited to a budget of only €100 million. Have you began to pick your team, and are feeling unsure if you should spent big, or go and grab a bargain in order to spend elsewhere? Have a forward in mind, but aren't sure who should be your bench options? Splashed the cash Mohamed Salah on and need a cheaper alternative marksman to even it out? We've got you covered with a full list of the best forwards to fit every budget ahead of the 25/26 curtain raiser next weekend. 1 . Joao Pedro (Chelsea) - £7.5million Scored 10 goals for Brighton last season prior to his summer move to Chelsea, where he has already started well, scoring three goals in their FIFA World Club Cup success in June. At £7.5million, he's significantly cheaper than some other 'top six' strikers, yet remains one of the division's most deadly marksmen. | Getty Images Photo Sales 2 . Callum Wilson (West Ham United) - £6million A calculated risk which could pay dividends, with a bit of luck. The ex-Newcastle United striker is an experienced goal-getter that knows where the net is. His problem? Injuries. At such a low cost, Wilson could be worth the risk if he stays fit - and if he doesn't? You can also transfer him out at a later date. | Stu Forster Photo: Stu Forster Photo Sales 3 . Danny Welbeck (Brighton) - £6.5million The veteran striker hit double figures for the Seagulls last season, and appears to be having a bit of an Indian summer at the AMEX Stadium. A reliable, inexpensive striker that could end up a FPL bargain come the end of the campaign. | BHAFC Photo: BHAFC Photo Sales 4 . Viktor Gyoekeres (Arsenal) - £9million With 68 goals in the last two season prior to his transfer to the Emirates, can you really afford to not include him in your squad? He's £5million cheaper than Haaland, and will likely get a boat load of chances at Arsenal. | Getty Images Photo Sales

Enzo Maresca issues Nicolas Jackson statement as Chelsea open door to transfer exit
Enzo Maresca has opened the door for the sale of Nicolas Jackson in this transfer window. The Senegal striker is a target for Newcastle if they sell Alexander Isak this summer. New FIFA World Club Cup winners Chelsea have signed Joao Pedro and Liam Delap to bolster their attacking ranks. Jackson was signed for £32m from Villareal in June 2023 and penned a contract extension until 2033 last season. But the Blues are ready to sell if any club makes a big offer. Maresca said: 'Nico is okay. He's okay. When the transfer window is open, unfortunately or fortunately, anything can happen. This also involves Nico's situation. At the moment we also had two strikers arrive, both of them in the USA, Joao (Pedro) and Liam (Delap). So we will see what happens.' But Chelsea could be forced into the market after England defender Levi Colwill suffered an undisclosed muscle injury in the club's first training session back on Monday. The Blues academy product made 47 appearances for club and country last season, including in the Europa Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup finals. 'We had a problem the last two days with Levi Colwill, that we don't know how long he is going to be out,' said the Italian head coach. "So for us, we will see, hopefully not too long, but for sure it's a problem for us. We need to wait, we don't know yet. 'It was in the first session on Monday, just in the last minutes of the session. He felt something and, as I said, we need to wait and then we see.' Asked if the injury means Chelsea will have to buy cover this summer, Maresca added: 'It depends. We need to wait and then we see. "But, as I said, we know each other from last year and, you know in our way, how important Levi has been. I spoke with him yesterday and I told him that if we achieve what we achieved last year, it is also because of him - and he was a main player for us.'

Chelsea fans in meltdown as club announce star's free transfer to Liverpool
Chelsea recently won the UEFA Conference League and followed it up with the FIFA World Club Cup - but the admin for their Women's team account on Twitter won't be winning any awards for Friday's shenanigans It was an interesting joke - but perhaps Chelsea won't be doing similar in the future. In a social media post on Twitter from the club's official account, Chelsea FC Women announced the transfer of Sam Kerr to Liverpool. Cue meltdown among supporters. The declaration, made bang on 1.45pm, came with no preamble. No warning. It simply just stated: 'Sam Kerr has joined Liverpool on a permanent transfer.' Replies promptly arrived, supporters shocked and stunned by the news. 'Stop it Admin, my heart stopped for a few secs' wrote one fan. 'That's unacceptable' said another. 'WHAT????????' declared a third. Needless to say, fans weren't particularly pleased at the thought of one of their biggest stars - albeit one who missed pretty much all of last season due to injury - moving to join a major rival. Within three minutes, clarification arrived from the Chelsea admin that it had in fact been a joke and that the Matildas captain - who joined Chelsea in 2020 from the Chicago Red Stars - wasn't in fact going anywhere. They quote tweeted Liverpool's post, announcing the permanent signing of Scottish namesake Sam Kerr from Bayern Munich - having been on loan since January - with the caption; 'Ohhhhhh you thought…' 'Okay that was a stressful couple seconds not gonna lie!' declared one comment. 'Had me for a second..' said another. A third joked: 'This is July!!! We are not in April anymore!!' Of course, this being Elon Musk's Twitter, - ahem, X - there are still plenty of messages arriving to the first message, unable to believe that Chelsea's Kerr is being moved on. Wonder if the men's account will try this with Cole Palmer any time soon? Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

Trump's swollen ankles caused by chronic vein condition, White House reveals
Donald Trump is suffering from a chronic vein condition which causes swollen ankles, the White House has revealed. Photographs of the US president's enlarged ankles at the Fifa World Club Cup on Saturday prompted speculation about the state of his health. Questions only grew after Mr Trump appeared on Tuesday with an apparent bruise on his hand, which seemed to have been covered over with makeup. On Thursday, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, revealed Mr Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency following tests by the White House medical team. The condition develops when blood does not efficiently return from the heart to the legs, and is often the result of damaged vein valves. 'The president underwent a comprehensive examination… [which] revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70,' Ms Leavitt told reporters. 'Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease.' JUST IN: President Trump underwent vascular testing after he had swelling in his legs. "All results were within normal limits ... and the president remains in excellent health," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. — ABC News (@ABC) July 17, 2025 However, the condition can develop into more serious conditions if left untreated, such as deep vein thrombosis. The White House said the bruising to Mr Trump's hands was a consequence of his frequent handshaking and aspirin consumption. 'Recent photos of the president have shown minor bruising on the back of his hands,' Ms Leavitt told reporters. 'This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen. This is a well known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy.' Mr Trump is in 'excellent health' and not experiencing 'any discomfort', she added.
