PitchKeep Take · The Premier
Lewis Hall is a defender for Newcastle, age 21, £5.0m. The Premier ranks him 131st overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#208, 63.6 points) with the consensus of 3 other boards (132.0). The industry still has him 76 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 Newcastle still builds around.
The 2025/26 Premier League line is 24 starts and 2176 minutes, 1 goals and 2 assists, 4 clean sheets, 39 goals against, 54 tackles and 119 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 79 points (2.6 per match) with 4 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 63.6. 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: 1.01 xG, 2.78 xA, 3.79 xGI. Set pieces: first-choice corners, first-choice direct free-kicks for Newcastle. The defensive events are the floor: 54 tackles, 119 clearances/blocks/interceptions, 4 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 Ownership at 87; the coldest is Sleeper BPL 2025 at 208.
Market: £5.0m, 9 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 118.0.
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: Antonee Robinson, Benjamin White, Mathias Jensen. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #208), the hybrid moves him up to #131. That move is the third list doing its job.
Age 21 is the other half of a hybrid. The 2025/26 counting line is one season. The Athletic-style youth lean on this board exists specifically so a Newcastle kid does not get stuck behind a 32-year-old who had a nice bonus year. Sleeper still has to see the minutes. 24 starts is the beginning of a case, not the end of one.
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 4 clean sheets and the CBI stream (119) against 39 goals against at −2 a piece. Newcastle's 2026/27 defensive shape is therefore half of this player's rank. The other half already happened, across 24 starts.
How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #208 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.
