A 4.5-valued FPL midfielder is usually a benchwarmer who completes your squad within the 100m budget. However, it’s still possible to gain some value from a player with such a low price.
Statistics can help, as can knowledge of squad depth and bench options for each Premier League team.
Anything more than 0 points from a player of such value is a winning scenario, but you can get even more out of them by choosing the right one for the squad.
The main point is, instead of putting a random player into your team, only because 15% of managers selected him, and due to some kind of domino effect other managers are also selecting that same player without knowing anything about him, it is better to do a little research and take a chance on a player who is more likely to score 2 or more points.
Such a player will increase your team’s value and give you points that are unexpected. He’ll be your bench strength.
In this blog, I am going to recommend some of the lower-valued 4.5m midfielders who can improve your FPL team. The list will be updated throughout the season.
Best 4.5m Midfielders FPL:
1. Harry Winks (Leicester City)
Harry Winks is an excellent £4.5m midfielder option in FPL for the new Premier League season. With Leicester City newly promoted, Winks is set to play a key role in their midfield.
At 28, he combines experience and reliability, having spent six seasons in the Premier League with Tottenham and making 45 appearances for Leicester last season.
Winks has represented England at all youth levels and earned 10 senior caps, highlighting his quality.
Crucially, he appears to be the only likely £4.5m midfielder who will start regularly for a Premier League team, making him a valuable budget-friendly choice for FPL managers seeking consistent playing time from a low-cost option.
Before you go…
Some other recommendations for 4.5 midfielders are Yehor Yarmoliuk, Ibrahim Sangaré, and Roméo Lavia.
But all these players have problems like:
- injury prone
- old
- get minutes once in a blue moon, or
- not good enough for FPL because they are so down the pecking order that they might not get a minute in the whole league season.
Bissouma was the best FPL option in the £4.5m range in recent years but his value is now £5.0m. As the season progresses there will surely be options to consider…
I will keep updating the list throughout the season to help you maintain a strong team.
