Fantasy Premier League experts have unveiled their top eight player picks for the upcoming season, aiming to guide managers towards a successful campaign. Among the recommendations are Liverpool's Florian Wirtz and Chelsea's Joao Pedro, both highlighted for their potential impact.
Florian Wirtz, a Liverpool midfielder valued at £7.5m, is considered a promising mid-priced differential. Under new manager Andoni Iraola, Wirtz has been deployed as a number 10 in pre-season, operating close to striker Alexander Isak. Iraola has expressed a desire for Wirtz to play in this central role, which could lead to increased involvement in Liverpool's goal contributions.
Chelsea striker Joao Pedro, priced at £7.5m, is another key pick after an impressive debut season where he scored 15 goals and provided nine assists. He finished as the fourth highest-scoring forward in the game last season. Under new boss Xabi Alonso, Pedro is expected to be a clear focal point in the Chelsea attack, with the team also benefiting from no European football commitments.
Other players featured in the experts' selections include Brighton midfielder Pascal Gross (£5.5m), Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky (£4.5m), Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai (£7m), Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams (£5m), and Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori (£5.5m).
