Finding bargain picks for your Fantasy Premier League (FPL) team is crucial to gaining an edge over the competition. These undervalued players often provide exceptional returns that outstrip their price tags, sometimes even surpassing premium options.
With the Premier League on pause during the November international break, we take a closer look at the standout bargain picks from the first eleven gameweeks of the season.
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) £7.9m, 76pts
The Cameroon international sits second on the top-scorer list, trailing only Erling Haaland (12) and level with Mo Salah on eight goals. With 27 gameweeks still to play, Mbeumo is just two goals shy of surpassing his personal best for a Premier League season. Averaging 6.9 points per match, the 25-year-old ranks third in points per match, behind only Mo Salah and Cole Palmer.
While his price tag may be higher than some others, his consistent attacking returns make him a must-have in any FPL team. Having already risen by £0.9m, his price tag speaks volumes about the high demand for him in the market.
Chris Wood (Nott’m Forest) £6.6m, 68pts
The Kiwi international has been in excellent form recently, netting five goals in his last five matches. With eight goals already, he stands out as a strong pick considering his price and consistent goal-scoring ability.
Wood has also seen a £0.6m price increase and holds an impressive 78% shooting accuracy, the highest among forwards with at least 15 shots this season.
Yoane Wissa (Brentford) £6.1m, 54pts
Wissa has been another Brentford player who has far exceeded his price tag with his attacking contributions. Despite missing three matches through injury, he has played a pivotal role in the Bees’ goal-scoring, alongside Mbeumo.
With six goals and two assists, Wissa has averaged 6.8 points per match, ranking just behind Haaland among forwards.
Ola Aina (Nott’m Forest) £4.7m, 48pts
Aina has been a standout in Forest’s defence, playing a crucial role in Nuno Santos’ side, which has been turning heads with their resolute performances. With 48 points, Sels ranks third among defenders for points earned, and the team has allowed just 15 big chances—the fewest in the league—helping Aina secure four clean sheets.
Aina has also netted a goal in their 3-0 win over West Ham. His impressive form and growing confidence make him an enticing prospect to own, even with a tough run of fixtures ahead.
Dwight McNeil (Everton) £5.4m, 51pts
The English midfielder was a popular pick among Fantasy managers during the pre-season and has maintained his strong form in the Premier League. Operating behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin, McNeil has become a key figure in the Everton lineup.
With three goals and three assists already to his name, he has more than lived up to his fantasy price tag, and his role on set pieces adds further appeal for Fantasy managers.
