Awards

Vote for the best FPL midfielders of 2022/23

The Fantasy Football Scout 2022/23 end-of-season awards are up and running, with the poll for best midfielders open for voting in this article and on the sidebar.

We’ll be assessing the key candidates in each position in four separate articles, continuing with this look at midfielders.

Overall score, points per match and value in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) were all factors we considered when compiling this shortlist – the rest we’ll leave up to you.

You’re allowed up to five votes for this poll, with the top three definitely making our Team of the Season at the very least.

2022/23 CANDIDATES

MOHAMED SALAH

FPL review: Salah ends goal drought, Gakpo off the mark
  • Points: 239
  • Points per match: 6.29
  • Start cost: £13.0m
  • End cost: £13.1m

For the majority of this season, Mohamed Salah was way down the list of best midfielders. He only had six goals before the World Cup, reached just eight of them by the start of Gameweek 25 and, early on, infamously blanked in Liverpool’s 9-0 thrashing of Bournemouth when many had captained him.

And yet here he is, the top-scoring FPL midfielder and one of two players to have goal and assist totals both over ten. The Liverpool star finishes third for attacking returns (32), second for double-digit hauls (10) and second for expected goal involvement (xGI, 27.31).

It’s been a spectacular end to Salah’s season, bagging 11 goals and seven assists in 15 matches – even finding time to miss two penalties! He ends with the most penalty area touches (333) and second-most penalty area shots (104) out of everybody in the game.


MARCUS RASHFORD

FPL review: Rashford haul, returns for Martial, Kepa and Mount but James injured
  • Points: 205
  • Points per match: 5.86
  • Start cost: £6.5m
  • End cost: £7.2m

Another player who showcases how long the FPL season is, Marcus Rashford was on a poor four goals and two assists before his strong showing with the England squad in Qatar. He came back possessed, scoring ten goals in his first ten matches to make a mockery out of the initial £6.5m price tag and have his best-ever FPL campaign.

Sometimes used up front, Rashford had the second-most shots inside the box of all midfielders and peaked at 6.1 million owners, ending top for post-World Cup points per start (7.53) and shots on target (36). That’s despite the goals slowing down from Gameweek 24 – just three more came in.


MARTIN ODEGAARD

FPL Gameweek 29 opinion: Keep or sell Odegaard? Buy Fernandes + Isak?
  • Points: 212
  • Points per match: 5.73
  • Start cost: £6.5m
  • End cost: £6.9m

Now onto the cheap Arsenal trio that put them on top of the Premier League for 248 days, each of whom had a superb FPL season.

In theory, Martin Odegaard starts from a deeper position than the other two yet he scored 15 goals and assisted eight others, pipping them to second place amongst midfielders. Thanks to nine double-digit hauls, the Norwegian was one of a handful to reach the 200-point mark.

However, of those to net 14+ times, Odegaard had the fewest big chances by far with nine. With a big price rise likely coming for 2023/24, we’ll find out over time if he’s here to stay as a big goal scorer.


GABRIEL MARTINELLI

Arsenal v Chelsea team news
  • Points: 198
  • Points per match: 5.50
  • Start cost: £6.0m
  • End cost: £6.5m

It was a breakout season for Gabriel Martinelli, giving managers a £6.0m route into the long-time league leaders. A solid start ensured that he was in over five million squads for a while, with the expected rotation not happening until Gameweek 24, once he’d blanked for six successive matches.

On that day at Villa Park, the Brazilian reacted by coming off the bench, scoring and then having a run of eight goals and three assists over the next ten matches. Basically, don’t annoy Martinelli.

Also on 15 goals, he actually beat Odegaard for assists but the latter had far more bonus points. Impressively, Martinelli’s 244 penalty area touches were more than any forward (third overall), although he exceeded the expected goals (xG) tally of 9.33 by a lot.


BUKAYO SAKA

The Great and The Good: FPL transfers, rank, template + more 16
  • Points: 202
  • Points per match: 5.32
  • Start cost: £8.0m
  • End cost: £8.0m

Now onto Bukayo Saka, the other player to have at least ten goals and ten assists. He finished between Odegaard and Martinelli but brought a security of starts alongside penalty duties.

His 14 goals and 12 assists came at a steady pace, producing in 17 of his first 25 appearances, although a poor end has seen Saka fail in all but two matches since Gameweek 28.

Only Salah had more penalty area touches, whilst Haaland and Leandro Trossard (£6.6m) are the duo with more xGI overachievement (+7.75).


KEVIN DE BRUYNE

FPL friendlies round-up: De Bruyne and Haaland on target 1
  • Points: 183
  • Points per match: 5.72
  • Start cost: £12.0m
  • End cost: £12.1m

Haaland was a regular beneficiary of Kevin De Bruyne‘s genius. In fact, eight of his many goals had been directly set up by the Belgian, whose 18 league assists was the most by far – whilst still only being his joint-third-best total.

Rotated fairly often by Pep Guardiola in the final weeks, De Bruyne’s final total of 25 goal involvements has been untouched since Gameweek 33 but he ended with the best rate of chances created (every 24.7 minutes) as well as setting up 32 big attempts.

Despite this, it often felt like he was ‘the fourth premium’ when FPL budgets only covered two or three of Haaland, Salah and Harry Kane (£11.5m).


MIGUEL ALMIRON

FPL Gameweek 21: Keep or sell Miguel Almiron?
  • Points: 158
  • Points per match: 4.65
  • Start cost: £5.0m
  • End cost: £5.4m

The definition of a purple patch, Miguel Almiron‘s season followed an unspectacular first three-and-a-half years on Tyneside. It took almost a year until his first goal but the Paraguayan international has been symbolic of Newcastle United’s incredible rise under Eddie Howe.

Beginning in August at £5.0m, Almiron scored twice at Fulham in Gameweek 9 to start a run of eight goals and two assists in nine matches. Suddenly hot property, he shot up to £5.8m by the World Cup but things have regressed to normality since his Boxing Day strike at Leicester City – two goals and two assists in 17 matches.

A planned increase in Howe’s squad depth may end his time as a viable FPL asset but managers will never forget that autumn flash.


SOLLY MARCH

Brighton v Everton team news: March benched again
  • Points: 147
  • Points per match: 4.45
  • Start cost: £5.0m
  • End cost: £5.2m

Also starting at just £5.0m was Solly March and, similarly, he’d been a non-entity in FPL until this season, having not scored since November 2020. Yet things changed once Roberto De Zerbi arrived at Brighton and Hove Albion.

A pre-break record of four assists ended up being ten assists and six goals – with many managers arguing that he was controversially robbed of another at Leeds United.

Used as a winger by De Zerbi, the 28-year-old ranked fifth for big chances created (14) and seventh for setting up all chances following the Gameweek 17 restart (50). He’s certainly the best of Brighton’s main three FPL midfielders when it comes to creative stats.


KAORU MITOMA

The best Brighton players for FPL Gameweek 20 and beyond
  • Points: 138
  • Points per match: 4.18
  • Start cost: £5.0m
  • End cost: £5.7m

Meanwhile, Kaoru Mitoma was better for take-ons and actions inside the box such as touches (173) and shots (43). This only takes post-World Cup data into account, as that’s when £4.9m Mitoma burst onto the scene to replace the outgoing Trossard.

It’s because of that reduced game time that he wasn’t even amongst Brighton’s three top-scoring midfielders but he did his best to make amends. 115 points since Gameweek 17 ended as the seventh-best midfield tally, as a New Year’s Eve goal against Arsenal was followed by three during the next four outings.

After that, he bagged more than seven points on only one occasion, with no goals since Gameweek 29. Yet the frequency of Brighton’s Double Gameweeks meant Mitoma remained a huge part of the community’s template until the very end.


ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER

FPL Gameweek 26 differentials: Mac Allister, Pinnock + Barnes
  • Points: 140
  • Points per match: 4.00
  • Start cost: £5.5m
  • End cost: £5.6m

It remains to be seen who Alexis Mac Allister will be playing for next season after a superb year has predictably sparked the rumour mill. Ten goals, the third-best midfielder for xG (11.98) and a World Cup winner’s medal in the meantime.

Of the Brighton three, he was the best for total shots (86) and an xGI (16.34) heavily influenced by six successful penalties, although also ending with the lowest FPL returns (12). That’s because 52 of his attempts came from outside the box – a number that nobody else reached.


ANDREAS PEREIRA

FPL review: Felix sent off on Chelsea debut 3
  • Points: 123
  • Points per match: 3.73
  • Start cost: £4.5m
  • End cost: £4.3m

Priced as a Manchester United reserve when FPL went live last July, it quickly became clear that Fulham’s capture of Andreas Pereira would be like a cheat code for managers.

This set-piece king scored four times and bagged ten assists, although the downside is that many of these likely ended up unused on benches. Then again, the feeling of an autosub coming in with a double-digit score – like he did both times versus Leeds United – would surely have been one of the season’s high points.


NOT QUITE MAKING THE CUT

Auto Draft 56

Bruno Fernandes (£9.5m) sat fairly high for midfielder points but, before two goals in the final days, this was a poor season of returns, although he did lead the way for chances created and finish on more points than in 2021/22.

Right with him is the late form of Eberechi Eze (£5.7m). The return of Roy Hodgson from Gameweek 29 inspired the Crystal Palace man to deliver six goals and two 16-point hauls.

Before signing for Arsenal, Trossard’s really good season was highlighted by a hat-trick away to Liverpool. Post-transfer, minutes were limited but he did bag another hat-trick, this time a trio of assists at Fulham.

An honourable mention should also go to Leeds’ Rodrigo (£6.3m). His blistering start to the season brought 35 points by Gameweek 3, before later becoming the first in this position to reach ten goals. Injury has limited recent months but he still ended with the best minutes per goal rate (150.5) of regular midfield starters.

    Hope next season we get very good budget mids like we did this season.

    It's good that Pereira is on this list as even though he was basically always benched by the majority of people who had him, his bang to buck was pretty crazy this year.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      This

    2. Crunchie

      Yep, changed to 3-5-2 during WC27, was always on my bench even behind Neto and Bailey at the start. 🙂

      Started big at the back. Remember that? lol

    3. Philosopher's Stones
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      True. 123 points for a guy who started at ?4.5 is good value.

    4. 7rjngs lollygagger
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      It's a gross outrage.

      Smirk too at the inclusion of Mitoma over Eze. Must be that DGW assist that swayed it

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Not seen you in a while, hope you had a great season.

        1. 7rjngs lollygagger
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          So great that I'll be playing differential only this season coming.

          Only highlights of the season was timing Mitoma and Eze more or less perfectly with a dash of Olise hauling at the right time thrown in.

      2. Zenith UK
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        I meant... Mitoma played;

        571 mins less than Mac
        408 mins less than March
        929 mins less than Gross

        He definitely deserves to be on that list.

  3. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Marinelli for me, was the bargain of the season. Got on Rashford right after the World Cup just because he looked in the form at last

    Could also be Saka as he was the one, that cost be the biggest red arrow rank

  4. Philosopher's Stones
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Doubt we'll get this many value midfielders in a single season soon again like we did this season that just gone by. This was a one of a kind thing.

  5. Babit1967
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Notice the start cost & end costs don’t change too much.

  6. Bobby Digital
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Lucked out so many times by having Pereira as first bench that I lost count...

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      I think that is called skill, in the parlance!

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Means you are a good manager.

  7. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Over 100 managers finished on the same point as me. What determines ranking?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Probably transfers made and hits takenfor people with the same points, but not sure.

      1. El Presidente
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Yes transfers made 1st criteria I think

    2. El Presidente
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Goals scored

    3. Philosopher's Stones
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      How many Bs one has in one's name

    4. Stout scout
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      From the rules (https://fantasy.premierleague.com/help/rules): In the event of a tie between teams, the team who has made the least amount of transfers will be positioned higher. Any transfers made using a wildcard or free hit will not count towards total transfers made.

      Teams with the same score & same number of transfers have the same ranking - see rank #3 in the Overall league for an example.

      1. Zenith UK
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        When did they remove the goals scored/conceded rule?

          That's for cup matches

    5. Sun God Nika
      • 4 Years

      Can confirm transfers

      Helped me win one of my MLs

    6. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 7 Years

      Sorry Bob, it was the photo.

  8. Haa-lala-land
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Harvey Barnes deserves a mention at the very least!
    13 goals from midfield.
    It was only the BpS that let him down!

    1. NZREDS
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Wow didn’t think about barnes, that’s quite a decent haul indeed

    2. Zenith UK
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Now they've been relegated would love to see West Ham swoop in for him, along with Tielemans but he'll probably go to a bigger club though (Newcastle kinda range maybe? Definitely better than Gordon)! I've always rated him, I also think he deserves an England call up, unfairly overshadowed by Maddison;

      Barnes v Maddi
      Season = Points (Minutes)
      19/20 = 133 (2,075) v 125 (2,624)
      20/21 = 126 (1,944) v 133 (2,093)
      21/22 = 137 (2,095) v 181 (2,454)
      22/23 = 138 (2,709) v 135 (2,479)

      Across last four seasons;
      Barnes = 0.060 points per minute / 16.5 minutes per point
      Maddi = 0.059 points per minute / 16.8 minutes per point

      Worth noting that Barnes has been consistent year in year out with the exception of this relegation year where he had a lot more minutes but didn't return more points (a dip), whereas Maddison had an "outlier" or "over performing" season last year and still comes away as worse off over the last four seasons when comparing.

      Ignoring literal points Barnes has 34G & 29A across those four seasons and Maddison has 36G & 32A, so Maddi has five additional goal contributions but played 827 minutes more... Barnes gets a contribution every 140.04 mins & Maddi gets a contribution every 141.91 mins

      Baffles me the hype around Maddison compared to Barnes.

      1. Haa-lala-land

        Wow, great work, loved reading this!

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 7 Years

        Interesting. Where will they both be next year?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          In the Premier League for sure. One of them will be at Newcastle.

  9. Zenith UK
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    I went Odegaard, Martinelli, Saka, Andreas & Mitoma. However, I think it's honestly criminal that GroB wasn't on the list.

    Reason I went Mitoma over the others was purely for minutes played. Lad barely got a sniff the first 15 GWs and still produced big. Nobody should be complaining about what he did in the period he was afforded the chance too

        Classical education wasted on FFS.

  10. First names on your FPL teamsheet
    sirmorbach
    • 8 Years

    First name on your teamsheets other than Haaland and Mo?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Luton keeper

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Probably Trent

    3. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      I'd like Kane so probably won't afford Salah - instead getting five mid-price attacking mids if possible.

    4. Indpush
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Kane then Trent

    5. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaane.

      Even if the other 8 turn out sh1te should still do ok.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Yeah, I'm starting with a front 2 of Haaland And Kane (be he at Spurs or United) and building from there.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          Think my most recent reasonable season came from just stuffing in as many premiums as possible and filling the rest with guaranteed start chaff. Give that another go I reckon. Easier than spending hours worrying over which of two mid-pricers to go with and inevitably getting the wrong one.

          1. WVA
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 5 months ago

            This works especially well at the start of the season as we'll have no clue which mid priced options will do well unless Martinelli is priced at 6 again ha!

          2. Andy_Social
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 5 months ago

            Interesting thinking. Remind me again in the week before deadline!

    6. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Probably TAA...need to see where Kane ends up...might be sulking again first few games if he stays in Tottenham and Levy doesn't let him go.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Ha ha - that's a point. Does the transfer window close a few matches into the season? Hmm.

    7. Nanook
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Haaland, Kane, and Mbuemo if 6.5. Started with Haaland and Kane this year and they rarely left my team, along with Trippier.

      Also interested in Raya or Brentford D plus Pickford or Everton D plus Shaw or Dalot, price dependent.

      Despite the common narrative that you must own TAA, I didn’t much. Had him for only a handful of weeks this year (mostly the first few) and got comfortable without. Didn’t own him those final 6 or 8 weeks when so many deemed him “essential” and consistently moved up the ranks without him. Not sure about this yet. Might end up my biggest dilemma GW 1.

      The pricing on the midfielders will be the most interesting part of the game’s launch for me.

    8. Botman and Robben
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Kane

    9. Zimo
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Kane and Mitro. Maybe Bruno if he's priced at like 8m and Kane doesn't go to United.

      1. Zimo
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Chelsea attackers could become bargains if Pochettino hits the ground running.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          Yeah, Nkunku could be a right bargain. I won't have any of them in my GW1 squad though, but I'll happily jump aboard an early bandwagon.

      2. WVA
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Mitro for the penalty misses?

    10. Stimps
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Trent and Brentford attacker

      Will choose between Mo and Kane depending on fixtures

      1. Andy_Social
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Premiums like those 2 ought to be fixture-proof.
        I'll hold off Trent - he'll still be the most expensive defender and I want to see if Liverpool are up for more clean sheets early doors. I've got Mbuemo and Wissa (mid? fwd?) on the watchlist as potential 3rd forwards.

    11. WVA
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Fodder with the below,

      TAA
      Salah
      Haaland Kane

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        I'd be surprised if TAA isn't 7m+, Salah and Kane 12.5m+ and Haaland 14m+ that would leave a maximum of 54m to spend on the the remaining 11 players. So even with a squad structured like the one below you would still be 1.5m over budget.

        4.5, 4.0
        TAA, 5.0m 4.5m, 4.5m, 4.0m
        Salah, 6.5, 6.0, 5.5m, 4.5m
        Haaland, Kane, 6.5m

        1. Andy_Social
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          That's how I see it. Not viable. Wouldn't be surprised to see Haaland priced 15m to make us really ask the question.

          1. Zimo
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 5 months ago

            Haaland isn't gonna be higher than 13m. Salah was 13m after a 300 point season. They don't do 13+ anymore.

              If so, who's NOT going to have Haaland, and who's NOT going to perma-cap him?

                We used to permacap Salah before Haaland. Before that it was Suarez. There's always a permacap. Then u pick your battles where u wanna go different.

                Adapt, deal with it.

      Only Haaland, then spread the cash

    13. Arteta

      Saka, Odegaard or Martinelli.

      That's me budget gone.

      Outside Haaland/Salah who will likely be my two premiums my focus is on Bruno, Odegaard and TAA but pricing will be key.

      I'll probably need two premiums out of Haaland, Kane and Salah, but it's far too soon to decide which.
      Need to know prices, opening fixtures, pre-season form, injury status etc first.

      And the same goes for the rest of the squad.
      Start with a dream squad that is way over budget and then tinker with it, with all members of this dream squad being potentially replaceable.

      They made the cardinal error of not being based in Saudi Arabia.

      They made over 7 million pounds by illegally streaming Premier League football matches to tens of thousands of people at £10 a month.

        Seems a bit Robin Hoody to me (if one of the Merry Men happened to be a n*nce).

            Joseph Hood? The park where my kids used to play is named after him. Won't be going there again.

    Newcastle are reportedly battling for Leicester pair James Maddison and Harvey Barnes.

    United need to just give Martial away, in fact they'll probably have to pay someone to take him!

    Potter for Spurs or Palace or?

    1. Andy_Social

      I think he'd be perfect for Palace - like Brighton, no prima donnas (assuming Zaha goes) and no money. He would have the knowledge of how Brighton's recruitment network works and could influence the right backroom staff to come in. And, of course, no pressure for instant success.

        Spurs want someone with trophies on his CV. That's the Aussie fella at Celtic (prob Espirito DS Mk.II).
