Jurriën Timber

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Jurriën Timber is a defender for Arsenal, age 25, £6.5m. The Premier ranks him 43rd overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#22, 198.8 points) with the consensus of 3 other boards (43.33). Last year's Sleeper line ran 21 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 28 starts and 2452 minutes, 3 goals and 6 assists, 13 clean sheets, 20 goals against, 66 tackles and 82 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 149 points (5.0 per match) with 9 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 198.8. 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: 4.71 xG, 1.53 xA, 6.24 xGI. He finished -1.7 above expected goals and 4.5 above expected assists. The defensive events are the floor: 66 tackles, 82 clearances/blocks/interceptions, 13 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 FPL Form at 5; the coldest is FPL ICT Index at 79.

Market: £6.5m, 9 boards on the file. Price is the FPL tax, not the rank. The Premier is who produced and who the boards still believe. ICT 125.7.

Instruction: he is a starter in deep Sleeper and a squad/rotation piece in 10-team FPL. Pay Premier #43 money, not a leftover 2024 reputation, not waiver dust. FPL flag: injured; Groin injury - Unknown return date. Nearby on The Premier: Martin Ødegaard, Nico O'Reilly, Jarrad Branthwaite. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #22), the hybrid moves him down to #43. 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 defenders get ranked on what they just did and whether Arsenal still gives them the ball. 2452 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.

Full-backs and centre-backs separate on this board by attacking events. 3 goals and 6 assists are how a defender outruns his GA column. Without those, you are betting 13 clean sheets and the CBI stream (82) against 20 goals against at −2 a piece. Arsenal's 2026/27 defensive shape is therefore half of this player's rank. The other half already happened, across 28 starts.

How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #22 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.
