How to Read This
FPL Draft rating: out of 10
Fantrax rating: out of 10
Potential: season ceiling out of 10
Olivier Boscagli (D)
France
Transfer: Free transfer from PSV Eindhoven
A high-level ball-playing centre-back who has won multiple titles with PSV. Strong underlying stats suggest he could become a great signing, but competition for minutes is a concern. One to monitor closely.
FPL Draft rating: 4
Fantrax rating: 4
Potential: 7
Diego Coppola (D)
Italy/Netherlands
Transfer: €11.00m from Hellas Verona
A physical centre-back and long-term replacement for Dunk. Already has Serie A experience and international call-ups. Still only 21 and likely needs time before becoming relevant.
FPL Draft rating: 4
Fantrax rating: 4
Potential: 6
Maxim De Cuyper (D)
Belgium
Transfer: €20.00m from Club Brugge
An attacking wing-back brought in to replace Estupiñán. Strong attacking output and international experience. If he locks down a starting role, he could deliver significant value, though it may take time.
FPL Draft rating: 5
Fantrax rating: 5
Potential: 8
Charalampos Kostoulas (F)
Greece
Transfer: €35.00m from Olympiacos
A big-money signing for an 18-year-old striker. Clearly highly rated, but unlikely to have an impact this season. One for the future.
FPL Draft rating: 2
Fantrax rating: 2
Potential: 5
Stefanos Tzimas (F)
Greece
Transfer: Loan ended (was at 1. FC Nürnberg last season)
More advanced in development than Kostoulas. Strong loan spell in Germany and already producing in cup competition. Still a risk, but worth keeping an eye on.
FPL Draft rating: 4
Fantrax rating: 4
Potential: 7
Tom Watson (F - Fantrax, M - FPL)
England
Transfer: €12.00m from Sunderland
Young attacking player with a strong moment in the play-off final. Long-term prospect who will struggle for minutes behind Mitoma. Not relevant for Draft right now.
FPL Draft rating: 4
Fantrax rating: 4
Potential: 7
