  • Thomas (£4.0m, 5.8 pts/£m), Konsa (£4.6m, 4.9 pts/£m), Van Hecke (£4.9m, 4.8 pts/£m), O'Shea (£4.0m, 4.8 pts/£m) and Silva (£5.0m, 4.7 pts/£m) return the most points per million of any defender.
  • Regular starters from mid-table clubs dominate here, because a cheap defender who keeps clean sheets is the most efficient asset in the game.
  • Defensive contributions add 2 more for a defender with 10 clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles in a match, and the FPL DEFCON table shows who gets there most often.
  • Goalkeepers: Petrović (£4.5m, 20.0 xPts), Kinsky (£4.5m, 19.7 xPts) and Verbruggen (£4.6m, 19.6 xPts) are all first choice and project within a few points of the expensive keepers, so save the money.

FAQ

Who are the best FPL bargains right now?

Thomas (£4.0m, 5.8 pts/£m) and Konsa (£4.6m, 4.9 pts/£m) in defence, Gomez and Rudoni in midfield and Barry (£5.7m, 4.6 pts/£m) and Calvert-Lewin (£6.1m, 4.0 pts/£m) up front return the most projected points per million over the next six gameweeks. These are the starters who fund a premium captain.

Who is the best cheap goalkeeper in FPL?

Petrović (£4.5m, 20.0 xPts), Kinsky (£4.5m, 19.7 xPts) and Verbruggen (£4.6m, 19.6 xPts) lead the budget keepers on projected points over the next six gameweeks. All three are first choice and project within a few points of the expensive keepers, so save the money for your outfield.

What makes an FPL player good value?

Value is projected points per million, a player's FPL predicted points over the next six gameweeks divided by his price. Minutes come first, because a cheap player who does not start is a wasted pick whatever his price.

What is an enabler in FPL?

An enabler is a cheap player who starts every week, so the money he saves pays for a premium elsewhere. The usual enablers are defenders at £5.0m or less and £4.5m goalkeepers, and the best FPL team shows how they fund a premium captain.

Which premium forwards are worth buying in FPL?

Haaland (£15.7m, 37.9 xPts) and Isak (£9.0m, 28.6 xPts) are the premiums worth funding, on projected points over the next six gameweeks. The value picks on this page are how you afford them, and the best FPL players rank every position.
