Goalkeeper: Robert Sánchez (£5.0m) - The Chelsea Wall 🧱

Robert Sánchez is the top goalkeeper pick among the experts.

Last season, he kept 10 clean sheets, joint fifth among goalkeepers (according to Opta Stats Sandbox), and scored 126 points across 32 games, proving his consistency.

With Chelsea’s favourable early fixtures—including matches against Crystal Palace, West Ham, and Fulham—Sánchez offers excellent clean sheet potential and great value at £5.0m.

Defence: Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.5m) - The Budget Defender Gem 💎

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.5m) offers exceptional value.

After revitalising his career with a move to West Ham in 2024/25, he earned 118 points, 2 goals, and 6 assists from 3,154 minutes. He remains one of the best budget defensive options for the upcoming season.

His move to West Ham has added an attacking threat, and with early fixtures like Sunderland (GW1) and Crystal Palace (GW5), he’s well-positioned for strong returns, providing excellent clean sheet potential.

Micky van de Ven (£4.5m) - The Set Piece Threat ⚡

Despite an injury-hit 2024/25 season, Micky van de Ven (£4.5m) remains an exciting option, particularly with Spurs expected to improve their defence under new manager Thomas Frank.

Although he only played 1,018 minutes last season, he still contributed 2 assists and 2 clean sheets. When fit, his pace and set-piece threat make him a valuable asset.

Tottenham’s opening fixture against Burnley (GW1) offers a great chance for van de Ven to impress, and at just £4.5m, he’s a standout pick.

He’s currently part of Tarek Balbaa's back three—one of our Elite XI: Team Reveal managers, who has 10 top 10k finishes to his name.

Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) - The Liverpool Colossus 💪

Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) is an elite defensive pick.

With 143 points, 3 goals, 1 assist, and 14 clean sheets in 2024/25, he fully justifies his premium price tag.

The Predicted Points & Stats tool backs up the experts' choice, with van Dijk ranked first for predicted points (19.8) among defenders for the first five Gameweeks.

Midfield Maestros: Mohamed Salah (£14.5m) - The Egyptian King 👑

Mohamed Salah (£14.5m) remains the king of FPL, and for good reason.

With an impressive 344 points in 2024/25, including 29 goals and 18 assists, Salah is indispensable in FPL.

Our Algorithm predicts him to be the top scorer in 3 of the first 6 Gameweeks, making him the likely captain choice for many FPL managers.

Cole Palmer (£10.5m) - The Chelsea Sensation 💥

Cole Palmer (£10.5m) is a top contender for one of the best midfield options in 2025/26 and topped our recent Top 5 Must-Have Players article.

With 214 points last season, including 15 goals and 10 assists, Palmer still had an impressive campaign despite a disappointing second half. His expected FPL total of 236.79 points highlights that he was unlucky not to return more, which was a frustration for many managers.

Iliman Ndiaye (£6.5m) - The Everton Wildcard 🔥

Iliman Ndiaye (£6.5m) stands out as a top midfield option, with the experts from social media backing him.

Despite a solid 2024/25 season with 114 points and 9 goals, and being on penalty duties, Ndiaye remains under-owned, appearing in just 12.7% of teams. This makes him a great option for managers seeking an edge.

Everton’s Gameweek 1 match against Leeds presents an ideal chance for Ndiaye to deliver. He’s currently in Walter Randazzo's attacking lineup—one of our Elite XI: Team Reveal managers—who is aiming for his 8th top 10k finish in 2025/26.

Forward Line: Jarrod Bowen (£8.0m) - The West Ham Talisman ⚽

Jarrod Bowen (£8.0m) leads our forward line after an impressive 2024/25 season, earning 193 points with 13 goals and 11 assists.

He finished the last 5 games of the season as the most in-form player, returning 48 FPL points.

Although West Ham’s fixtures are mixed, Bowen’s versatility across the front line and consistent goal threat make him an excellent option at £8.0m.
