These eight players will help you win FPL

What the report says

BBC Sport Football published a Fantasy Premier League guide highlighting eight players its experts say could improve managers’ chances in the new season. The piece is aimed at readers still finalising their squads and points them toward alternatives to the most obvious premium names, with the BBC also noting that readers can join its official league using the published code.

The recommended options cover different price points and positions. Among the midfielders are Florian Wirtz of Liverpool and Pascal Gross of Brighton, while Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky is presented as a low-cost option if he keeps the starting job. Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai is included for his scoring threat, set-piece involvement and strong opening fixtures, and Chelsea striker Joao Pedro is backed as a central attacking figure after a productive previous season.

In defence, Nottingham Forest right-back Neco Williams is flagged as a potential wing-back style pick, while Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori is described as a route into a strong back line if he stays fit. Dominic Calvert-Lewin of Leeds United completes the list as a budget forward who can still offer returns through chances and penalties. More broadly, the article reflects the common FPL approach of balancing premium stars with mid-priced and cheaper players who may offer better value or early-season differential gains.
