Luca Netz

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Luca Netz is a defender for Nott'm Forest, age 23, £4.5m. The Premier ranks him 282nd overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#342, 8.0 points) with the consensus of 2 other boards (367.5). Last year's Sleeper line ran 26 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 3 starts and 353 minutes, 0 goals and 0 assists, 0 clean sheets, 5 goals against, 12 tackles and 15 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 11 points (1.6 per match). Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 8.0. 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: 0.0 xG, 0.41 xA, 0.41 xGI. The defensive events are the floor: 12 tackles, 15 clearances/blocks/interceptions, 0 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 xGI at 307; the coldest is RotoWire Fantrax / Sleeper 400 at 369.

Market: £4.5m, 6 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 1.7. ICT 10.4.

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: Luke O'Nien, Ben Gannon-Doak, Joshua Zirkzee. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #342), the hybrid moves him up to #282. That move is the third list doing its job.

He is 23, which on this board is neither a dart nor a warning label. Prime-age defenders get ranked on what they just did and whether Nott'm Forest still gives them the ball. 353 minutes says yes. The 2026/27 FPL price (£4.5m) 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. 0 goals and 0 assists are how a defender outruns his GA column. Without those, you are betting 0 clean sheets and the CBI stream (15) against 5 goals against at −2 a piece. Nott'm Forest's 2026/27 defensive shape is therefore half of this player's rank. The other half already happened, across 3 starts.

How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #342 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.
