Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the best premium FPL players?
Top premium picks: Haaland (£15.5m, 239pts), B.Fernandes (£12.0m, 235pts), Saka (£9.5m, 157pts). These offer the highest ceiling for captaincy.
How many premium players should I have in FPL?
Most successful teams carry 2-3 premium players (£9m+) and build around them with value picks. The key is picking the RIGHT premiums - they need to justify their price through captaincy returns.
Is it better to spread budget or go premium in FPL?
Data shows having 2-3 premiums plus a strong value bench outperforms a fully balanced team. Premiums double their value when captained, which balanced teams can't replicate.
