FPL alternatives to Gabriel Jesus as striker aims to break goal duck against Nottingham Forest

Gabriel Jesus has struggled slightly in front of goal of late. The Brazilian frontman is without a goal since the beginning of the month, having found the net against Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby win at the Emirates.

He squandered two big opportunities in the Gunners' draw against Southampton, one either side of the half-time whistle. Whilst he's still offering a lot going forward, from a Fantasy Premier League perspective, it might be the right time to make a tactical managerial change in the coming weeks.

As he's in line to start against Nottingham Forest after Eddie Nketiah played an entire 90 minutes against PSV on Thursday, Jesus won't have a better chance to break his goal duck than this Sunday. Forest sit bottom of the Premier League table whilst the Gunners lead Manchester City at the top by two points.

But if he does fail to score, perhaps it'll be the right time to swap in someone else before the World Cup, especially with Chelsea on the horizon next weekend.

Some may be wondering who the alternatives to Jesus - priced at £8m in game - are. Luckily, football.london has provided some options below.

Ivan Toney (£7.5m)

The Brentford striker has been in great form this season scoring eight goals in 12 games. He could be set to add to that this weekend, too, with the Bees set to play an out of form Wolves side.

Callum Wilson (£7.3m)

Newcastle's frontman is one of the Premier League's best when he stays fit. After a cracking goal against Spurs last weekend, he will be looking to build on his form with another strike at home to Aston Villa.

Danny Ings (£6.6m)

A cheap option is Ings. Villa looked a different side against Brentford following the sacking of Steven Gerrard and Ings netted a brace. Perhaps he can inspire another good performance on Saturday.
