How to Read This
FPL Draft rating: My rating out of 10
Fantrax rating: My rating out of 10
Potential: Ceiling this season out of 10
Kepa Arrizabalaga (G)
Spain
Transfer: €5.8m from Chelsea
If you own Raya, he is worth keeping as a backup since he is one of the better options available. Otherwise, avoid. Slightly more useful in FPL Draft because you are required to carry a backup keeper.
FPL Draft rating: 3
Fantrax rating: 2
Potential: 7 (if Raya misses time)
Eberechi Eze (M)
England/Nigeria
Transfer: €69.3m from Crystal Palace
Slight downgrade from Palace due to competition for minutes and no longer being the focal point. Still very high upside.
FPL Draft rating: 8
Fantrax rating: 8
Potential: 8
Viktor Gyökeres (F)
Sweden/Hungary
Transfer: €65.8m from Sporting CP
Will need time to adapt, but the upside is massive. Could realistically push for top scorer. Minimal competition. He should start consistently.
FPL Draft rating: 8
Fantrax rating: 8
Potential: 9
Piero Hincapié (D)
Ecuador
Transfer: Loan (option to buy €52m) from Bayer Leverkusen
One for the future. Huge potential, but unlikely to start soon. Not worth rostering.
FPL Draft rating: 1
Fantrax rating: 1
Potential: 6
Noni Madueke (M)
England/Nigeria
Transfer: €56m from Chelsea
Excellent dribbler who can beat defenders, but end product is inconsistent. Big minutes risk, but flashes of quality.
FPL Draft rating: 5
Fantrax rating: 5
Potential: 7
Cristhian Mosquera (D)
Spain/Colombia
Transfer: €15m from Valencia
Another future-focused signing. With Saliba out 3 to 4 weeks, he could be a short-term pickup. Long-term minutes will be limited.
FPL Draft rating: 3
Fantrax rating: 3
Potential: 7
Christian Nørgaard (M)
Denmark
Transfer: €11.6m from Brentford
Big drop in fantasy value. Strong last season with 288 Fantrax points, but now competing with Rice and Zubimendi.
FPL Draft rating: 4
Fantrax rating: 5
Potential: 6
Martín Zubimendi (M)
Spain
Transfer: €70m from Real Sociedad
Excellent real-life signing, but limited fantasy appeal due to his defensive midfield role. Slightly better in Fantrax.
FPL Draft rating: 5
Fantrax rating: 6
Potential: 8
