Noni Madueke

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Noni Madueke is a midfielder for Arsenal, age 24, £6.5m. The Premier ranks him 239th overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#205, 67.6 points) with the consensus of 2 other boards (269.5). Last year's Sleeper line ran 64 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 16 starts and 1205 minutes, 3 goals and 1 assists, 21 tackles and 14 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 72 points (2.8 per match) with 9 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 67.6. Midfielders get 9 a goal, 6 an assist, and 1 a clean sheet, plus a full tackle/CBI stream. That is why a six who plays every week can outrank a ten-goal winger who sits.

Underlying: 1.23 xG, 2.86 xA, 4.09 xGI. He finished 1.8 above expected goals and -1.9 above expected assists. Set pieces: corners order #6 for Arsenal. Role at Arsenal is the 2026/27 question sitting under the 2025/26 number. 16 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 FPL Form at 16; the coldest is RotoWire FPL 400 at 294.

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. FPL's own EP-next is 2.3. ICT 101.3.

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: Tammy Abraham, Lewis Dunk, Bafodé Diakité. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #205), the hybrid moves him down to #239. That move is the third list doing its job.

He is 24, which on this board is neither a dart nor a warning label. Prime-age midfielders get ranked on what they just did and whether Arsenal still gives them the ball. 1205 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.

How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #205 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.
