The Ultimate Fantasy Premier League Template Team

Goalkeeper: Raya's Rise to FPL Prominence

David Raya, Arsenal's goalkeeper, is owned by an impressive 24% of Fantasy Premier League managers. In the 2023/24 season, the Spanish shot-stopper kept 16 clean sheets and made 46 saves, earning him 135 FPL points. Only Jordan Pickford, with 153 points, achieved more among goalkeepers.

Defensive Dynamos: A Mix of Reliability and Potential

William Saliba (Arsenal, 39.3% ownership) leads the defensive line. His 18 clean sheets last season underscores his value. Pedro Porro (Tottenham, 29.8%) and Joško Gvardiol (Manchester City, 32.8%) complete the back three. Porro's attacking contributions (3 goals, 8 assists) make him an enticing option, while Gvardiol's potential in Pep Guardiola's system makes him a great option for FPL.

Two of the three most-owned defenders are featured in Mark Mansfield's latest draft. The seven-time top 10k finishing manager has chosen Virgil van Dijk too, capitalising on Liverpool's favourable early fixtures.

Midfield Maestros: A Blend of Proven and Promising

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool, 36.1% ownership) remains a cornerstone for many FPL teams. His consistent returns (18 goals, 12 assists) justify his premium price tag. Cole Palmer (Chelsea, 45.1%) emerged as last season's breakout star, amassing an incredible 244 points with 22 goals and 13 assists. Christopher Nkunku (Chelsea, 17.9%) and Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace, 33.2%) round out the midfield, offering a mix of potential and proven Premier League quality.

Salah, Palmer, and Eze all had impressive 2023/24 seasons, as shown in the Fix Comparison Matrix tool. However, Nkunku, who managed only 438 minutes due to injuries, stands out as the more riskier pick among them.

Forward Firepower: Clinical Finishers Lead the Line

Ollie Watkins, with 46.9% ownership, leads the forward selections after a stellar season for Aston Villa, scoring 19 goals and providing 18 assists for a total of 228 points. Alexander Isak, the most-owned player in the game at 55.3%, earned his spot with a 21-goal haul for Newcastle last season. João Pedro of Brighton rounds out the attack with 16.6% ownership. Dominic Solanke, at 17.8%, narrowly missed out due to budget constraints, but his recent move to Spurs is likely to make him a popular pick.

Interestingly, our Consensus XI team, which combines the squads of all our Elite XI: Team Reveal managers—boasting 83 top 10k finishes—has opted for a front three of Isak, Haaland, and Muniz.

Bench Boost or Budget Busters?

The substitute bench offers interesting talking points. Matt Turner (Nottingham Forest, 22% ownership) stands out as a potential early price drop candidate. His third-choice status at Forest makes his high ownership puzzling and likely to change rapidly.

Dan Burn (Newcastle, 19.7%) and Joachim Andersen (Crystal Palace, 22.9%) provide solid defensive cover, while Harry Winks (Leicester, 12.1%) offers a budget midfield option.

It's worth noting that this team is projected to score 54 points in Gameweek 1 in the Future Planner tool, suggesting a strong start to the season. However, remember that while this template provides a solid foundation, successful FPL management often involves finding the right balance between popular picks and differential players.
