João Gomes
🔥 In-formWOL · MID
£5.3m
92 pts
The best budget midfielder in the game right now. 0.4% ownership and elite form. Even if you have no interest in a differential, the data here is too good to ignore.
Beto
💰 ValueEVE · FWD
£5.0m
76 pts
Budget strikers rarely have an xGI/90 of 0.56. Beto is the exception. At £5.0m he costs almost nothing and produces enough to justify the spot. Tough GW32 fixture but the underlying numbers are compelling.
Truffert

£4.7m
122 pts
122 points from a £4.7m defender is extraordinary. Tough GW32 fixture (Arsenal away) but the season numbers justify holding. Great run-in beyond GW32.
James Garner
💎 Hidden gemEVE · MID
£5.2m
139 pts
139 points at £5.2m. Garner has been Everton's most consistent creative outlet and his points tally is among the best at this price point. The question is why he's still only 4.3% owned.
Senesi
✅ Template pickBOU · DEF
£5.1m
137 pts
The most popular of the budget options at 20% ownership. Consistent, cheap, and Bournemouth's defensive record has been solid. GW32 is tough but he provides value across the season.
João André
🎲 PuntWOL · MID
£5.2m
77 pts
0.1% owned. Wolves host West Ham with a fdr2 fixture. If André gets a goal involvement this will be a top differential gameweek. The risk is rotation, but at this price the floor is low.
Nuno Tavares
⚡ ReliableNFO · DEF
£5.0m
104 pts
Forest's attacking left-back has been a reliable budget option all season. 104 points at £5.0m from a defender is excellent. Hosting Villa in GW32 is a fair fixture.
Canvot
🔧 Budget fillerCRY · DEF
£4.5m
48 pts
The cheapest starting defender option at £4.5m. Minimal downside, occasional upside. Good for freeing up budget elsewhere in the squad if you need the funds.
Budget building strategy
Aim for 2 players under £5.0m. This frees up an extra £4-6m compared to picking minimum-price players who never play.
Bench order matters. Your 4th sub is your budget enabler. They need to start most weeks, not just occasionally.
Check the fixture run. A budget pick is only as good as their next 5 fixtures. Use the fixture ticker before committing.
