Fantasy Premier League: The best £4m players in FPL
The lowest-priced players are £4m and we've picked out some to consider for your squad.
Fantasy Premier League: The best £4m options in FPL
Maxime Esteve – Burnley
There are not many £4m options that are certain starters, but Maxime Esteve fits that brief. After.a tricky introduction to the Premier League at Burnley, the 23-year-old has benefitted from a season in the second tier.
Esteve was named in the Championship Team of the Season as Burnley were promoted with a Football League record of just 16 goals conceded. He also ranked ninth in the Championship for blocks and is expected to be far busier this season. The new bonus points for defensive actions could help his points total.
In 2025/26, any defender who reaches a combined total of 10 clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles (CBIT) in a match will score two FPL points.
Jaka Bijol – Leeds
Leeds have spent around €21m to sign Jaka Bijol from Udinese, with the defender arriving to shore up Daniel Farke's defence. A no-nonsense centre-back, Bijol ranked among Serie A's top players for clearances (4th) having racked up a monstrous 182 last season. He was also fifth for aerial duels won (109).
FPL managers should be aware that Bijol is suspended for gameweek one, due to his Serie A high of 13 yellow cards last season.
Aaron Hickey – Brentford
Aaron Hickey's price tag has plummeted after two injury-ravaged seasons. The Brentford full-back featured for just 123 minutes due to two hamstring surgeries.
In 2022/23, the Scot had impressed as a flying full-back option and will be keen to make up for lost time this season. Such was his impact that season, former Brentford boss Thomas Frank was forced to shutdown transfer links to Manchester City.
Martin Dubravka – Newcastle
Martin Dubravka should be added to the watch list for FPL bosses. Currently third-choice goalkeeper at Newcastle, the Slovakian shot-stopper is in talks over a £2m move to Burnley.
Dubravka is being targeted as an experienced option to replace James Trafford and could become the only £4m goalkeeper with a first-choice role.

Arsenal injury updates: Calafiori, Havertz & Trossard
Three senior players missed Arsenal's pre-season defeat to Villarreal due to injury, but Mikel Arteta is hopeful all could return in time for the weekend's final friendly. Photo via Arsenal on Twitter Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard, and Riccardo Calafiori were all absent as Arsenal lost 3-2 against Villarreal in their first home pre-season fixture, though none of the injuries are thought to be serious. Havertz was withdrawn on the morning of the match after reporting muscle discomfort in the final training session. 'Yesterday in training he felt something and this morning he wasn't quite right, so we decided to rest him,' Mikel Arteta said post-match. 'I think it's going to be a matter of a couple of days, hopefully the weekend, if everything goes to plan, I think he will be fit.' Trossard, who sustained a groin injury during the club's 0-1 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur in Hong Kong, is progressing well and is also targeting a return for the next pre-season match against Athletic Club. Photo byCalafiori, meanwhile, is recovering from a minor knee strain picked up against Newcastle in Singapore. 'The three that we lost during the tour, it was Big Gabi, Leo and Richy, and for Saturday I think both of them have a chance, if everything in the next few days evolves in the way that it's been evolving in the last few days,' Arteta said, referring to Trossard and Calafiori. Photo via Despite the defeat, Arsenal's evening was not without positives. Christian Norgaard marked his Emirates debut with a headed goal from a Gabriel Martinelli corner, and 15-year-old Max Dowman made another lively cameo, winning the penalty converted by Martin Ødegaard. The game also saw first home appearances for several of Arsenal's summer signings, including Viktor Gyökeres, who had a quiet evening, and Noni Madueke, who received a warm welcome form the home fans after some morons online criticised his arrival.
