Fantasy Premier League: The best £4m players in FPL | OneFootball

Balancing your budget is a crucial part of success in Fantasy Premier League. FPL managers will need the right mix of bargain budgets and expensive assets for a successful season and there are some interesting picks in the former category.

The lowest-priced players are £4m and we’ve picked out some to consider for your squad.

Fantasy Premier League: The best £4m options in FPL

Maxime Esteve – Burnley

There are not many £4m options that are certain starters, but Maxime Esteve fits that brief. After.a tricky introduction to the Premier League at Burnley, the 23-year-old has benefitted from a season in the second tier.

Esteve was named in the Championship Team of the Season as Burnley were promoted with a Football League record of just 16 goals conceded. He also ranked ninth in the Championship for blocks and is expected to be far busier this season. The new bonus points for defensive actions could help his points total.

In 2025/26, any defender who reaches a combined total of 10 clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles (CBIT) in a match will score two FPL points.

Jaka Bijol – Leeds

Leeds have spent around €21m to sign Jaka Bijol from Udinese, with the defender arriving to shore up Daniel Farke’s defence. A no-nonsense centre-back, Bijol ranked among Serie A’s top players for clearances (4th) having racked up a monstrous 182 last season. He was also fifth for aerial duels won (109).

FPL managers should be aware that Bijol is suspended for gameweek one, due to his Serie A high of 13 yellow cards last season.

Aaron Hickey – Brentford

Aaron Hickey’s price tag has plummeted after two injury-ravaged seasons. The Brentford full-back featured for just 123 minutes due to two hamstring surgeries.

In 2022/23, the Scot had impressed as a flying full-back option and will be keen to make up for lost time this season. Such was his impact that season, former Brentford boss Thomas Frank was forced to shutdown transfer links to Manchester City.

Martin Dubravka – Newcastle

Martin Dubravka should be added to the watch list for FPL bosses. Currently third-choice goalkeeper at Newcastle, the Slovakian shot-stopper is in talks over a £2m move to Burnley.

Dubravka is being targeted as an experienced option to replace James Trafford and could become the only £4m goalkeeper with a first-choice role.
