Dominic Calvert-Lewin

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a forward for Leeds, age 29, £6.0m. The Premier ranks him 25th overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#55, 157.6 points) with the consensus of 6 other boards (23.67). The industry still has him 31 spots ahead of the 2025/26 Sleeper count. The Premier pays that reputation something, not everything. Brand does not outrun a down year, and a down year does not erase a player Leeds still builds around.

The 2025/26 Premier League line is 30 starts and 2721 minutes, 14 goals and 2 assists, 10 tackles and 49 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 142 points (4.1 per match) with 20 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 157.6. Forwards get 9 a goal and 0 for a clean sheet, so this ranking is almost entirely the 14 finishes and 2 assists - not the defensive crumbs.

Underlying: 15.57 xG, 1.06 xA, 16.62 xGI. He finished -1.6 above expected goals. Set pieces: first-choice penalties for Leeds. Role at Leeds is the 2026/27 question sitting under the 2025/26 number. 30 starts is a starter. Anything under 25 starts is a rotation warning we already priced. Minutes are the skill that survives a finishing regression. The friendliest board is Fantasy Football Fix Elite at 3; the coldest is FPL EP Next at 204.

Market: £6.0m, 13 boards on the file. That is leftover money for a Premier-ranked name. If the minutes hold, this board already voted. FPL's own EP-next is 2.0. ICT 194.7.

Instruction: treat him as a building-block, not a dart. Premier #25 is the band where you start the player every week in Sleeper. Nearby on The Premier: Matheus Cunha, Iliman Ndiaye, Phil Foden. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #55), the hybrid moves him up to #25. That move is the third list doing its job.

He is 29, which on this board is neither a dart nor a warning label. Prime-age forwards get ranked on what they just did and whether Leeds still gives them the ball. 2721 minutes says yes. The 2026/27 FPL price (£6.0m) is the app's guess at whether that continues. The Premier is the blend of that guess and the box score.

Strikers live and die on the 9-point goal. 14 of them is why Calvert-Lewin is on this list at all. Assists (2) are extra. Clean sheets are nothing. That makes the ranking brittle in the nicest way: if the goals continue, he climbs; if Leeds turns into a committee, he falls fast. xG at 15.57 is the early-warning system. Pay the shots, not last year's finishing weather.

How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #55 there). The Premier is the 50/50 with every other board we track. Attack, Midfield, Defence, and Keepers re-rank the same Sleeper table by position. BK Value on this page follows The Premier when you are on the hybrid calculator and The Pitch when you are on the Sleeper calculator. Same curve either way - 12,000 at 1.01.
