The Premier League Season Is Just Around the Corner - Who Are the Best and Worst Value FPL Players?

With the new Premier League season just over a month away, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) enthusiasts are already gearing up for the big kick-off. As the Premier League starts to whet our appetites, we take a look at the best and worst value FPL players whose prices have been revealed so far.

Squad building has begun

The Best Value FPL Players

Christopher Nkunku, the French midfielder, is a steal at £6.5m. Despite being restricted to just two Premier League starts and 11 overall appearances last season due to injury, Nkunku still managed to score three goals. His final two seasons with RB Leipzig saw him notch 58 goals and 29 assists in 88 appearances across all competitions, showcasing his true quality.

Richarlison, the Brazilian forward, is another great value at £7m. Despite making just 18 starts in the Premier League last season, Richarlison still put up 11 goals and four assists, proving himself a very important player at key moments. On his day, Richarlison is a menace for defenders, and his reclassification as a forward makes him a great option.

Anthony Gordon, Newcastle’s highest points scorer last season, is a great value at £7.5m. With 11 goals and 10 assists in 35 appearances, Gordon’s price bump is well-deserved. However, there are a couple of key factors to consider, including a potential big move this summer to a top club like Manchester City or Liverpool, which could see his numbers skyrocket.

The Worst Value FPL Players

Erling Haaland, the Norwegian striker, has been slapped with a whopping £15m price tag, the largest in FPL history. While Haaland has won back-to-back Premier League Golden Boots since joining Manchester City, scoring 63 goals in 66 appearances to date, his assist record is poor, with just 13 Premier League assists to his name. Additionally, Haaland’s points scoring was hampered by injuries last season, making it hard to justify his record-breaking price.

As FPL managers start to build their squads for the new season, it’s essential to consider the best value players and avoid overpriced options. With the Premier League season just around the corner, the clock is ticking to get your squad in shape.
