Joelinton Cássio

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Joelinton Cássio is a midfielder for Newcastle, age 30, £5.5m. The Premier ranks him 164th overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#171, 81.2 points) with the consensus of 2 other boards (170.5). Production and the industry almost agree, which is rarer than it looks on a 24-source mix. When both sides land in the same band, The Premier stops arguing and prints the number.

The 2025/26 Premier League line is 23 starts and 1950 minutes, 2 goals and 1 assists, 43 tackles and 73 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 73 points (2.7 per match) with 2 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 81.2. 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: 2.36 xG, 1.35 xA, 3.71 xGI. Role at Newcastle is the 2026/27 question sitting under the 2025/26 number. 23 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 ICT Index at 139; the coldest is FPL Price Board at 204.

Market: £5.5m, 7 boards on the file. Price is the FPL tax, not the rank. The Premier is who produced and who the boards still believe. ICT 95.0.

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. FPL flag: injured; Unspecified injury - Unknown return date. Nearby on The Premier: Matty Cash, Jayden Bogle, Mathys Tel. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #171), the hybrid moves him up to #164. That move is the third list doing its job.

He is 30, which on this board is neither a dart nor a warning label. Prime-age midfielders get ranked on what they just did and whether Newcastle still gives them the ball. 1950 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 #171 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.
