What this projection could see

FPL holds no completed season for this player, no minutes, no expected goals, nothing. The projection below is a price-and-position cohort prior, a guess with a method.

What kind of asset he is

Ranked among defenders with 450+ minutes on record.

Useful goal threat

0.07 xG per 90

Top 36% of 62 defenders · 450+ minutes in 2026/27

The biggest single scoring event, and the part that repeats.

Useful chance creation

0.09 xA per 90

Top 22% of 62 defenders · 450+ minutes in 2026/27

The second scoring route, and it survives a missed chance.

Useful attacking involvement

0.16 xGI per 90

Top 31% of 62 defenders · 450+ minutes in 2026/27

The single best summary of a team’s attacking play.

Low defensive work

56 of 62 defenders · 450+ minutes in 2026/27

Two repeatable points that do not need a clean sheet.

Low defensive solidity

1.63 xGC per 90

47 of 62 defenders · 450+ minutes in 2026/27

Where defenders and keepers make most of their points.

Useful starting security

Minutes decide an FPL asset more than ability does.

His job at the clubRole, set pieces and availabilityThe parts of a player’s job FPL publishes directly.OpenClose▸

Set-piece duty

FPL lists him in no set-piece order. That is published, not missing.

Official · basis: bootstrap-static/elements[176].penalties_order, FPL's published penalty order · updated 13 sec ago · confidence: high

Availability

FPL flags him as fit and has published no note against him.

No chance-of-playing percentage is published, which for a fit player is normal.

Predicted lineups are not modelled here. FPL publishes none, and a guessed eleven could not be checked.

His price has not moved since the game opened, which is true of most players right now.

Effective ownership needs captaincy share too, and the public API publishes none. The figure above is ownership alone.

What this model does not include

  • manager rotation policy
  • European/cup fixture congestion
  • press conference quotes
  • predicted lineups
  • training-ground reports

Read before trusting the number

  • No FPL history: this is a cohort prior, not an observation.
  • No per-90 rates of their own: every rate is the DEF/<=4.5m cohort mean (n=85).
  • ASSUMPTION: the full appearance award needs 60 minutes and a clean sheet needs 60. FPL publishes neither boundary anywhere in its own data; both are read off FPL's rules page.
  • ASSUMPTION: the deduction applies per 2 goals conceded. FPL publishes the points per block but never how many goals make a block, so what it publishes cannot tell "-1 per goal" from "-1 per 2 goals".
  • ASSUMPTION: a defensive-contribution point needs DEF>=10, MID>=12, FWD>=12 defensive actions. FPL publishes what the point is worth but never how many actions earn it, so this number is read off FPL's rules page, not FPL data.

Shown beside xPts, not instead of it. FPL’s figure is quantised to one decimal in preseason, so agreement in order is mild evidence.

What this is built from

Built from FPL’s own published season data for 2026/27, using a fixed population of 449 players with a completed season. Everything else is the stated default.

Put him in the squad and the rules answer whether he fits, or set him beside others to compare.
