Elliot Anderson

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Elliot Anderson is a midfielder for Man City, age 23, £6.5m. The Premier ranks him 34th overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#20, 205.4 points) with the consensus of 5 other boards (36.2). Last year's Sleeper line ran 16 spots ahead of the expert/FPL mix. The third list keeps some of that production bump and refuses to throw the other boards out. That is the whole point of not just republishing The Pitch.

The 2025/26 Premier League line is 37 starts and 3332 minutes, 4 goals and 5 assists, 103 tackles and 106 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 180 points (4.7 per match) with 16 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 205.4. Midfielders get 9 a goal, 6 an assist, and 1 a clean sheet, plus a full tackle/CBI stream. That is why a six who plays every week can outrank a ten-goal winger who sits.

Underlying: 2.94 xG, 4.79 xA, 7.73 xGI. Set pieces: corners order #2 for Man City. Role at Man City is the 2026/27 question sitting under the 2025/26 number. 37 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 FPL 2025/26 Points at 8; the coldest is FPL EP Next at 89.

Market: £6.5m, 12 boards on the file. Price is the FPL tax, not the rank. The Premier is who produced and who the boards still believe. FPL's own EP-next is 2.3. ICT 219.0.

Instruction: he is a starter in deep Sleeper and a squad/rotation piece in 10-team FPL. Pay Premier #34 money, not a leftover 2024 reputation, not waiver dust. Nearby on The Premier: Riccardo Calafiori, Diego Gómez Amarilla, Ryan Gravenberch. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #20), the hybrid moves him down to #34. That move is the third list doing its job.

He is 23, which on this board is neither a dart nor a warning label. Prime-age midfielders get ranked on what they just did and whether Man City still gives them the ball. 3332 minutes says yes. The 2026/27 FPL price (£6.5m) is the app's guess at whether that continues. The Premier is the blend of that guess and the box score.

How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #20 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. 8 yellows are a real Sleeper tax.
