Ethan Ampadu

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Ethan Ampadu is a midfielder for Leeds, age 25, £5.5m. The Premier ranks him 81st overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#51, 162.4 points) with the consensus of 4 other boards (73.25). Last year's Sleeper line ran 22 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 35 starts and 3119 minutes, 1 goals and 4 assists, 81 tackles and 151 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 134 points (3.8 per match) with 11 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 162.4. 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: 2.47 xG, 2.2 xA, 4.67 xGI and 1.8 above expected assists. Role at Leeds is the 2026/27 question sitting under the 2025/26 number. 35 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 The Independent Watchlist at 35; the coldest is FPL EP Next at 203.

Market: £5.5m, 11 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 2.0. ICT 114.7.

Instruction: deep-league starter, shallow-league watchlist. The 2025/26 line got him onto the 400. A role change gets him off it. Watch minutes, not vibes. Nearby on The Premier: Gianluigi Donnarumma, Marcos Senesi Barón, Omar Alderete. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #51), the hybrid moves him down to #81. That move is the third list doing its job.

He is 25, which on this board is neither a dart nor a warning label. Prime-age midfielders get ranked on what they just did and whether Leeds still gives them the ball. 3119 minutes says yes. The 2026/27 FPL price (£5.5m) 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 #51 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. 10 yellows are a real Sleeper tax.
