Harry Maguire

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Harry Maguire is a defender for Man Utd, age 33, £5.0m. The Premier ranks him 127th overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#158, 86.6 points) with the consensus of 5 other boards (118.4). The industry still has him 40 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 Man Utd still builds around.

The 2025/26 Premier League line is 19 starts and 1649 minutes, 1 goals and 2 assists, 7 clean sheets, 20 goals against, 22 tackles and 129 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 90 points (3.9 per match) with 5 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 86.6. Defenders get 10 a goal, 7 an assist, 6 a clean sheet, and −2 a goal against. CBI at 0.4 and tackles at 1 are how a centre-back cracks the overall 50.

Underlying: 1.12 xG, 0.5 xA, 1.62 xGI and 1.5 above expected assists. The defensive events are the floor: 22 tackles, 129 clearances/blocks/interceptions, 7 shutouts. Sleeper is built to notice that. ICT and xGI boards are not, which is why a centre-back's spread on this board is usually ugly and still informative. The friendliest board is Yahoo GW1 XI at 3; the coldest is RotoWire FPL 400 at 283.

Market: £5.0m, 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 2.2. ICT 63.0.

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: Đorđe Petrović, Viktor Gyökeres, Dean Henderson. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #158), the hybrid moves him up to #127. That move is the third list doing its job.

Age 33 is not a moral failing and it is not invisible. Youth-lean boards (The Athletic-style remap on this board) push him down; veteran-rating boards (WhoScored, SofaScore) keep him up. The Premier averages those instincts instead of pretending a 33-year-old defender is 24. If you need a three-year window, look younger. If you need 2026/27, he just played 1649 minutes and that still counts.

Full-backs and centre-backs separate on this board by attacking events. 1 goals and 2 assists are how a defender outruns his GA column. Without those, you are betting 7 clean sheets and the CBI stream (129) against 20 goals against at −2 a piece. Man Utd's 2026/27 defensive shape is therefore half of this player's rank. The other half already happened, across 19 starts.

How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #158 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.
