Kai Havertz

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Kai Havertz is a forward for Arsenal, age 27, £7.5m. The Premier ranks him 31st overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#251, 46.0 points) with the consensus of 5 other boards (31.0). The industry still has him 220 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 Arsenal still builds around.

The 2025/26 Premier League line is 7 starts and 577 minutes, 2 goals and 3 assists, 8 tackles and 10 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 36 points (3.0 per match) with 3 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 46.0. Forwards get 9 a goal and 0 for a clean sheet, so this ranking is almost entirely the 2 finishes and 3 assists - not the defensive crumbs.

Underlying: 3.31 xG, 0.64 xA, 3.95 xGI and 2.4 above expected assists. Role at Arsenal is the 2026/27 question sitting under the 2025/26 number. 7 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 RotoWire GW1 at 3; the coldest is FPL 2025/26 Points at 282.

Market: £7.5m, 13 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 2.4. ICT 49.9.

Instruction: he is a starter in deep Sleeper and a squad/rotation piece in 10-team FPL. Pay Premier #31 money, not a leftover 2024 reputation, not waiver dust. Nearby on The Premier: Morgan Rogers, David Raya Martín, Riccardo Calafiori. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #251), the hybrid moves him up to #31. That move is the third list doing its job.

He is 27, which on this board is neither a dart nor a warning label. Prime-age forwards get ranked on what they just did and whether Arsenal still gives them the ball. 577 minutes says yes. The 2026/27 FPL price (£7.5m) 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 #251 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.
