FPL Team of the Season so far

The start of the Second Chance league in Gameweek 21 allows managers in Fantasy Premier League another route to glory.

The Scout's squad, costing £100.0m, is affordable for both new managers and those playing their second Wildcard.

There is no place for either Mohamed Salah (£13.2m) or Son Heung-min (£9.8m), who could both be away on international duty until Gameweek 25.

Erling Haaland (£13.9m) and Michael Olise (£5.9m) are among those included, although managers should monitor the fitness of both players as they are currently doubts for Gameweek 21.

FPL GW21 squad
Alphonse Areola (West Ham) £4.2m

West Ham United’s goalkeeper is the top player for value in Fantasy this season, returning 17.6 points per million spent.

Matt Turner (Nott’m Forest) £3.9m

The American has started all three of Nottingham Forest’s Premier League matches under new head coach Nuno Espirito Santo.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) £8.5m

Liverpool’s right-back has blanked only once in his last nine appearances thanks to his many routes to returns.

Pedro Porro (Spurs) £5.7m

Seven assists and five clean sheets highlights the potential of Tottenham Hotspur’s Spaniard at both ends of the pitch.

Pervis Estupinan (Brighton) £4.9m

Brighton & Hove Albion’s fit-again left-back has two goals and three assists in only eight outings this season.

Malo Gusto (Chelsea) £4.2m

Three of Chelsea’s next four matches score only two in the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR), lifting Gusto’s appeal as a cut-price pick.

Jarrod Branthwaite (Everton) £4.1m

Everton’s budget centre-back has collected five clean sheets and five bonus points over his 17 matches in 2023/24 Fantasy.

Martin Odegaard (Arsenal) £8.4m

The Arsenal playmaker has created 16 chances in the last four Gameweeks, more than any other player in Fantasy.

Phil Foden (Man City) £7.8m

Manchester City’s England star has four goals and two assists in his last four matches across all competitions.

Richarlison (Spurs) £6.9m

Spurs’ Brazilian has thrived since being moved up front, with five goals and 41 points in his last five starts.

Michael Olise (Crystal Palace) £5.9m

His average of 6.1 points per match places the Crystal Palace star third among midfielders in Fantasy this season.

Cole Palmer (Chelsea) £5.6m

The midfielder is the fourth top-scoring player in Fantasy since making his full debut for Chelsea in Gameweek 7, with eight goals, five assists and 88 points.

Erling Haaland (Man City) £13.9m

If he is fit and available, Man City’s Norwegian could be more vital than ever as a captain option in Fantasy in the absence of his fellow big-hitters Salah and Son.

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) £8.9m

Aston Villa’s forward enjoys a favourable mid-term run of opponents to extend his fine season, with five of their next seven matches scoring two in the FDR.

Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth) £7.1m

The AFC Bournemouth striker has climbed £0.6m in price since the start of the season on the back of 12 goals and an assist under head coach Andoni Iraola. 

Remember, the Gameweek 21 deadline is now at 18:15 GMT on Friday 12 January
