How to Read This
FPL Draft rating: out of 10
Fantrax rating: out of 10
Potential: season ceiling out of 10
Rayan Aït-Nouri (D)
Algeria/France
Transfer: €36.80m from Wolves
High-upside attacking full-back, though currently injured. Once fit, he should be a consistent starter. Slightly less attacking freedom than at Wolves but still a strong option.
FPL Draft rating: 6
Fantrax rating: 6
Potential: 9
Marcus Bettinelli (G)
England/Italy
Transfer: €2.40m from Chelsea
Third-choice goalkeeper and dressing room presence. No Draft value.

Fantrax rating: 1
Potential: 3
Rayan Cherki (M)
France/Algeria
Transfer: €36.50m from Olympique Lyon
Elite talent but major minutes risk and currently injured. Long-term upside is huge, but short-term value is limited.
FPL Draft rating: 6
Fantrax rating: 6
Potential: 9
Gianluigi Donnarumma (G)
Italy
Transfer: €30.00m from PSG
One of the best goalkeepers in the world and now behind an elite defense. Strong clean sheet potential makes him a top-tier Draft option.
FPL Draft rating: 9
Fantrax rating: 7
Potential: 10
Tijjani Reijnders (M)
Netherlands
Transfer: €55.00m from AC Milan
Already looks like a key player. Strong underlying stats with added attacking output. Should be a consistent performer.

Potential: 10
James Trafford (G)
