<h2>The best FPL mid-priced midfielders </h2>
Here are our top selections:
<h3>Eberechi Eze (£7.5m, Crystal Palace)</h3>
Eze was one of the form players in the latter half of the 2024/25 season, ending with an impressive eight goals and eight assists.  
From Gameweek 30 onwards, no midfielder scored more goals (six) than Eze and he clearly came into his own in the tail end of last season.
Eze’s underlying stats support his strong output and he’s nailed to start, with good expected minutes. With penalties and set-pieces in his locker, he offers reliable routes to returns.

</ul>
At £7.5m, Eze looks primed to continue where he left off, especially with Palace’s promising early fixtures.
He only hit the new <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-2025-26-changes-defensive-contributions">defensive contributions</a> twice last season but I wouldn't let that put you off him.
Palace play Nottingham Forest (H), Sunderland (H) and West Ham (A) in their first five but Eze is also the type of player you can play in most matches due to his multiple avenues to points.

<h3>Morgan Rogers (£7.0m, Aston Villa)</h3>
Rogers was the ultimate budget enabler last season, delivering a phenomenal eight goals and 11 assists while priced at just £5.0m. 
He finished among the top 10 midfielders for both big chances created (14) and total attacking returns, an impressive feat given his low price tag.  
His versatility - featuring as a left-sided winger, attacking midfielder and even on the right - made him a near permanent fixture in Unai Emery’s starting 11.
Rogers’ reliability also boosts his appeal as he started 37 matches last season, missing just one due to suspension. <span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
Villa’s opening fixtures are great and their attacking form suggests Rogers could hit the ground running again.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
He didn’t fare well for defensive contributions last season but he more than makes it up for it with his attacking threat and reliability. <span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
Emery’s side play Newcastle (H), Brentford (A), Palace (H), Sunderland (A), Fulham (H) and Burnley (H) in their first seven.
 Returns for Rogers during this run look likely. <span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}">

<h3>Justin Kluivert (£7.0m, Bournemouth)</h3>
Kluivert had a solid season, finishing with a slightly better attacking output than teammate Antoine Semenyo, recording 12 goals and six assists. <span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
Despite playing only 29 matches, Kluivert stayed close to Semenyo’s overall FPL tally, highlighting his efficiency in front of goal.  
The fact he is on penalties and takes some set-pieces further increases his stock.
Kluivert didn't manage any defensive contributions points last season but much like Eze, his multiple routes to points makes up for it.
Bournemouth’s upcoming fixtures after their Gameweek 1 clash with Liverpool (A) are fantastic and could yield plenty of attacking returns.
The Cherries come up against Wolves (H), Spurs (A), Brighton (H), Leeds (A) and Fulham (H) and I can see them scoring very well over this run. <span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
I would be surprised if Kluivert wasn't heavily involved.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}">

<h3>Mohammed Kudus (£6.5m, Spurs)</h3>
Kudus arrives at Spurs as a versatile attacking midfielder capable of playing across several positions, offering valuable flexibility which should mean he will get plenty of minutes. 
He contributed five goals and four assists last season but his underlying numbers suggest he was unlucky not to do better - he generated an expected goals (xG) tally of 7.04.
Kudus consistently puts himself in positions to score or create chances and you would imagine he will have more chances of attacking returns at Spurs. 
His 27% ownership shows that many others think the same and he looks like a solid route into Spurs’ attack, especially for their great run of fixtures early on. 
The Ghanaian only once managed defensive contribution points last season but that could change in a new team and set up.
Thomas Frank’s side play Burnley (H), Bournemouth (H), West Ham (H), Brighton (A), Wolves (H), Leeds (A) and Villa (H) during their first eight. 
Kudus could emerge as an early bandwagon and one of the best-value midfielders. 
<div id="attachment_73550" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-73550" class="size-full wp-image-73550" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/playerstats-Kudus-bordered.jpeg" alt="Mohammed Kudus Stats" width="840" height="690" />

<h3>Iliman Ndiaye (£6.5m, Everton)</h3>
Ndiaye is looking great value at his price. 
He scored nine goals last season and has been reclassified a midfielder for this campaign.  
His underlying numbers were good too, as he registered an xG of 6.23 and an expected assists (xA) of 1.36.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
What truly stands out is Ndiaye’s phenomenal bonus point record - 21 over the season (0.77 per 90) - which means he can pick up additional points even when he doesn’t score.  
Another great thing about him is he looks to be decent with the defensive contributions too. He would have hit the threshold six times last season, so it’s an added bonus.
<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}">It's rare to get an attacking midfielder who can also get a fair amount of defensive contributions. To top it all off, he is also the first-choice penalty taker.
If Everton start strongly, Ndiaye could be one of the early breakout players given Everton’s kind start. 
They play Leeds (A), Brighton (H), Wolves (A), Villa (H), West Ham (H) and Palace (H) during their first seven matches.
