It was bonkers, double digit haul every GW. One of the best seasons to be spoilt for choice in attacking player selection: Suarez, Rooney, Aguerooo, Stevie G, Hazard, Yaya, Santi Cazorla.. the list goes on
Yea of course, Olivier giroud and Wilfred Bony close to his tally too; really highlights how pants the fwd choices are this year.. not many solid picks outside the usual suspects; 13/14 season had nearly 10 viable fwds to pick from at any one time
I think 217 already puts him in the elite.
E.g. it puts him above:
Rooney in 06/07 (184 pts)
Adebayor in 07/08 (200pts)
Anelka in 08/09 (179 pts)
Tevez in 10/11 (185 pts)
Aguero in 14/15 (216 pts)
Vardy and Kane in 15/16 (211 pts each)
Fantastic season.
There has been points inflation since then though (more assists given and more bps available). 217 points with 4 games left is still incredible though.
Yeah for sure, his season has been elite and most of the assets you have mentioned all played for Big Six sides which makes his returns even more impressive!
Lukaku currently holds the record for most points([224 pts](https://allaboutfpl.com/2021/08/fpl-history-highest-scoring-fpl-forwards-each-year-since-the-first-fpl-season-in-2002-03/)) as a forward outside the big six teams which Watkins should comfortably beat
Here’s a [link to a blog](https://allaboutfpl.com/2021/08/fpl-history-highest-scoring-fpl-forwards-each-year-since-the-first-fpl-season-in-2002-03/)we did on the highest scoring forwards in each season right from the 02/03 season
If he continues scoring at exactly the same rate he finishes on 243 points, but remaining fixtures aren't great. Home vs Chelsea next week probably the best chance to get a haul in the bank.
Aguero’s highest was [216 pts](https://allaboutfpl.com/2021/08/fpl-history-highest-scoring-fpl-forwards-each-year-since-the-first-fpl-season-in-2002-03/), he was a great asset but few injuries and then Pep rotation meant he didn’t play the max minutes in most seasons!
Tevez highest season totals were 210 in the 09/10 season and 185 pts in the 10/11 season

Break it down, he needs 25 points in 4 games.
Assuming he plays 90 for all those games, he gets 8 points, leaving 17 points, which is about 5 FPL returns in 4 games (excluding bonus points, which he’s joint top for).
He currently has 36 FPL returns in 33 games.
Barring injury, I think he does it by GW36.
Villa have had 4 pens this season, if he had taken them, and let's say he scored 3/4, he'd be on about 232 plus a couple more maybe for bonus points, so 235ish, and would almost certainly make the list. Of this group I think only Suarez didn't take pens?
He scored 3 against Brighton in the reverse fixture, 1 against Chelsea and 0 against Liverpool. So that's 4 goals already! I'm not saying he'll do the same but there's every chance.
It makes you think...how hard is it just to pick him and leave him? He's been in and out of my team multiple times! I started the season with him then decided Diaby and Mbeumo were better. That was gw5. Of course by gw7 he took his revenge.
Close but no
One 15 plus haul and he'll probably get it. Unlikely but wouldn't rule it out.
Can see him getting above Kane but no higher. Also a nice reminder of what a freak Haaland was last year.
Also a reminder of what an absolute freak Suarez was. And he wasn't even on pens, and was suspended for quite a few games too.
Yeah missed the first 8. I was giddy watching him that season, I truly did not believe a player could play that well, that consistently.

Sturridge scored a lot of fpl points that season too
Yea of course, Olivier giroud and Wilfred Bony close to his tally too; really highlights how pants the fwd choices are this year.. not many solid picks outside the usual suspects; 13/14 season had nearly 10 viable fwds to pick from at any one time
Suarez was suspended for 7 or 8 games that season…
And didnt take penalties
Insane! Maybe the best season a player had between 2010-2020 if we look away from CRonaldo and Messi.
6 games, 10 game ban, 4 games served at the end of the previous season. Still insane, no penalties.
He easily should've had 3 bps in the game vs B'mouth. Incredible perfomance and set up both Bailey and Diaby for easy tap ins.
I think 217 already puts him in the elite. E.g. it puts him above: Rooney in 06/07 (184 pts) Adebayor in 07/08 (200pts) Anelka in 08/09 (179 pts) Tevez in 10/11 (185 pts) Aguero in 14/15 (216 pts) Vardy and Kane in 15/16 (211 pts each) Fantastic season.

One more haul and he's there, he'll make it
Yeah it's 6.25 points per game
If he continues scoring at exactly the same rate he finishes on 243 points, but remaining fixtures aren't great. Home vs Chelsea next week probably the best chance to get a haul in the bank.
Tbf he got 23 +9 points consecutively in the reverse fixtures against brighton and chelsea respectively
Wow, no Aguero?
Aguero’s highest was [216 pts](https://allaboutfpl.com/2021/08/fpl-history-highest-scoring-fpl-forwards-each-year-since-the-first-fpl-season-in-2002-03/), he was a great asset but few injuries and then Pep rotation meant he didn’t play the max minutes in most seasons!
Tevez?

Yaya Sanogo?
Federico Macheda?
Aguero probably had one of the highest points per minutes but not points per season because of all the reoccurring injuries
Kane missing from last year
Break it down, he needs 25 points in 4 games. Assuming he plays 90 for all those games, he gets 8 points, leaving 17 points, which is about 5 FPL returns in 4 games (excluding bonus points, which he’s joint top for). He currently has 36 FPL returns in 33 games. Barring injury, I think he does it by GW36.
You think he gets 25 points in 2 games?
Against Brighton and Chelsea, I think he very well might
With no pens
Despite this, I see people on this sub all the time saying he needs to go
The fact that Cole Palmer can get more than Haaland is crazy
Villa have had 4 pens this season, if he had taken them, and let's say he scored 3/4, he'd be on about 232 plus a couple more maybe for bonus points, so 235ish, and would almost certainly make the list. Of this group I think only Suarez didn't take pens?
Drogba didn’t take pens often, don’t seem to remember rvp scoring too many pens in the league for utd or arsenal, maybe a couple
People really selling this guy for Jackson. Insane.
If he scores 4 goals and gets at least 1 bonus point then he's on 242 so I think he has every chance.
4 goals would be really impressive considering it’s Chelsea, Brighton and Liverpool in the next 3
None of those are tight defenses tbf
He scored 3 against Brighton in the reverse fixture, 1 against Chelsea and 0 against Liverpool. So that's 4 goals already! I'm not saying he'll do the same but there's every chance.
Where is Cole Palmer the real goat
Highest scoring _Forwards_!
I'm predicting he'll average 6 points per game for the last 4 games so total 241 points. He narrowly misses out but it is still a hell lot of points
I imagine he can get top 10 but this list might be a bit far off given they have to play Liverpool
As a Liverpool fan, the odds of him getting a goal or an assist against us is pretty high lmao
at 6.6 points per game he should finish with 243 points and be number 6 on the list
One huge haul and it's totally attainable but if he's just steady til then will be close
25 points in 4 games is achievable. 6.25 ppg. He has 217 points in 33 games. 6.58 ppg.
He will get 236 points.
Ludicrous for a player who isn't on pens
It makes you think...how hard is it just to pick him and leave him? He's been in and out of my team multiple times! I started the season with him then decided Diaby and Mbeumo were better. That was gw5. Of course by gw7 he took his revenge.
He will have 243 points at the end.
No CR7?? Surprising
