How is the Expert FPL Squad created?

Our algorithm gathers data from various social media platforms and correlates users' current FPL drafts with their historical overall ranks. This process results in an aggregated Expert Team.

Goalkeeper: Between the Sticks

Mark Flekken (£4.5m) Brentford's shot-stopper emerges as the top choice for the goalkeeper position. With a modest price tag of £4.5m, Flekken offers excellent value. His impressive tally of 119 points and 7 clean sheets in the 2023/24 season showcases his potential.

Defenders: Solid at the Back

William Saliba (£6.0m), Joško Gvardiol (£6.0m), Dan Burn (£4.5m) are a formidable defensive trio, as shown below in the Fix Comparison Matrix.

Arsenal's William Saliba leads the pack with a whopping 164 points and 18 clean sheets from the previous season. His projected 4.5 points in Gameweek 1 against Wolves at home make him an attractive early pick.

Manchester City's Joško Gvardiol, also priced at £6.0m, brings attacking threat to the backline. With 4 goals and 2 assists in 2023/24, he's more than just a defensive asset. Watch out for his 5.2 projected points in Gameweek 2 against Ipswich at home.

Dan Burn of Newcastle rounds out the defence at a budget-friendly £4.5m. While his 97 points from last season might seem modest, his low price allows for investment elsewhere in the squad.

Midfield: The Maestros

The midfield is where this team truly shines. Liverpool's talisman Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) justifies his hefty £12.5m price tag with a staggering 211 points from 2023/24, including 18 goals and 12 assists. His projected 7.4 points in Gameweek 1 against Ipswich away makes him a prime captaincy candidate.

Alistair Hughes, a manager with three top 1k finishes, has chosen the exact same four midfielders as the Expert Team Reveal. You can check out his latest draft in the Elite XI: Team Reveal feature.

Chelsea's new signing Christopher Nkunku (£6.5m) is an intriguing pick at £6.5m. Despite limited appearances last season, his potential is evident, and he could be a bit of a differential with just 17.3% ownership.

Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze (£7.0m) and Newcastle's Anthony Gordon (£7.5m) complete the midfield. Eze's 136 points and Gordon's impressive 183 points from the previous season highlight their value. Gordon, in particular, stands out with 11 goals and 16 assists, making him a potential bargain at his price point.

Forwards: Impressive front line

Up front, the Expert Team has selected a potent trio. Newcastle's Alexander Isak, priced at £8.5m, comes off a stellar season with 172 points, 21 goals, and 4 assists. His projected 6.4 points in Gameweek 1 against Southampton at home make him an exciting prospect.

Erling Haaland needs no introduction. The Manchester City goal machine commands a premium £15.0m price but justified it last season with an incredible 217 points, 27 goals, and 8 assists. His 9.0 projected points in Gameweek 2 against Ipswich at home could be season-defining.

João Pedro (£5.5m) rounds out the attack. His inclusion suggests the experts see potential value in the young Brazilian forward.

Budget Bench

The bench offers budget-friendly options that allow for heavy investment in the starting XI. Nottingham Forest's Matt Turner, Southampton's Taylor Harwood-Bellis, and Brighton's Valentín Barco all come in at £4.0m, providing maximum financial flexibility. Harry Winks at £4.5m could be a shrewd pick if he secures regular playing time at Leicester.

Final Thoughts

This data-driven team combines proven performers with exciting prospects, balancing premium assets with budget enablers. The strong projected points for players like Salah, Haaland, and Isak in the opening gameweeks provide a solid foundation for a strong start to the season.

Remember, while this team is based on comprehensive data analysis and is constantly updated, it may change frequently. To see the most up-to-date version, check out the Big Data: Team Reveal feature.
