PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Freddie Woodman is a goalkeeper for Liverpool, age 29, £4.0m. The Premier ranks him 331st overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#331, 11.6 points) with the consensus of 4 other boards (266.25). The industry still has him 65 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 Liverpool still builds around.

The 2025/26 line is 2 starts, 212 minutes, 9 saves, 0 clean sheets and 4 goals against. Official FPL scored it at 6 points (2.0 per match). Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 11.6. Keepers get 8 a clean sheet, 2 a save, and −2 a goal against. That is a different sport than FPL's 10-from-saves cap, and it is why this desk ranks them at all.

The job is shot-stopping volume in front of whatever Liverpool is this year. 9 saves is the Sleeper case. 0 clean sheets is the FPL case. If the back line leaks, both numbers move together and this ranking goes with them. The friendliest board is FPL GW1 Ownership at 181; the coldest is FPL 2025/26 Points at 359.

Market: £4.0m, 1.1% owned into the 2026/27 FPL start, 5 boards on the file. That ownership is a leftover. Either the public missed a real season or the public correctly decided the role is not repeatable. The Premier's rank is our vote. If we have him inside the first 80 and they have him at 0.4%, that is a Sleeper buy. FPL's own EP-next is 1.0. ICT 8.4.

Instruction: he is on the 400, which is already a statement, and he is not a star. Stash in Sleeper if the minutes are real. Do not let a Pitch screenshot make you start him over a Premier top-80. Nearby on The Premier: Tyrique George, Frank Onyeka, James McAtee.

He is 29, which on this desk is neither a dart nor a warning label. Prime-age goalkeepers get ranked on what they just did and whether Liverpool still gives them the ball. 212 minutes says yes. The 2026/27 FPL price (£4.0m) is the app's guess at whether that continues. The Premier is the blend of that guess and the box score.

You start one goalkeeper. That positional cap is why The Premier will not put a saves leader in the overall top ten unless the consensus also shows up. Woodman's Sleeper line (11.6) already made The Pitch. The other boards (266.25) decide how far the hybrid lets him climb. Draft him as a keeper, not as an outfielder who happens to have gloves.

How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #331 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. Unranked sources are skipped, never treated as 999, which is why a player missing from Yahoo's XI is not secretly ranked 400th.
