Neco Williams

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Neco Williams is a defender for Nott'm Forest, age 25, £5.0m. The Premier ranks him 21st overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#80, 136.4 points) with the consensus of 6 other boards (22.17). The industry still has him 58 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 Nott'm Forest still builds around.

The 2025/26 Premier League line is 36 starts and 3203 minutes, 2 goals and 3 assists, 9 clean sheets, 48 goals against, 96 tackles and 151 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 128 points (3.5 per match) with 15 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 136.4. 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: 2.01 xG, 3.97 xA, 5.98 xGI. Set pieces: first-choice corners, direct free-kick order #2 for Nott'm Forest. The defensive events are the floor: 96 tackles, 151 clearances/blocks/interceptions, 9 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 RotoWire Value at 1; the coldest is FPL EP Next at 118.

Market: £5.0m, 12 boards on the file. That is leftover money for a Premier-ranked name. If the minutes hold, this board already voted. FPL's own EP-next is 2.2. ICT 175.6.

Instruction: treat him as a building-block, not a dart. Premier #21 is the band where you start the player every week in Sleeper. Nearby on The Premier: Florian Wirtz, Pedro Porro, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #80), the hybrid moves him up to #21. 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 Nott'm Forest still gives them the ball. 3203 minutes says yes. The 2026/27 FPL price (£5.0m) 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. 2 goals and 3 assists are how a defender outruns his GA column. Without those, you are betting 9 clean sheets and the CBI stream (151) against 48 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 36 starts.

How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #80 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. 6 yellows are a real Sleeper tax.
