PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Oscar Bobb is a midfielder for Fulham, age 23, £5.5m. The Premier ranks him 255th overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#262, 39.8 points) with the consensus of 5 other boards (196.6). The industry still has him 65 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 Fulham still builds around.

The 2025/26 Premier League line is 11 starts and 1030 minutes, 0 goals and 2 assists, 21 tackles and 12 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 42 points (1.8 per match). Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 39.8. 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: 1.47 xG, 2.1 xA, 3.57 xGI. Set pieces: corners order #2 for Fulham. Role at Fulham is the 2026/27 question sitting under the 2025/26 number. 11 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 xGI at 149; the coldest is FPL 2025/26 Points at 262.

Market: £5.5m, 0.3% owned into the 2026/27 FPL start, 6 boards on the file. That ownership is a leftover. Either the public missed a real season or the public correctly decided the role is not repeatable. The Premier's rank is our vote. If we have him inside the first 80 and they have him at 0.4%, that is a Sleeper buy. FPL's own EP-next is 2.0. ICT 66.4.

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: Andrew Robertson, Ilia Gruev, Jarrad Branthwaite. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #262), the hybrid moves him up to #255. That move is the third list doing its job.

He is 23, which on this desk is neither a dart nor a warning label. Prime-age midfielders get ranked on what they just did and whether Fulham still gives them the ball. 1030 minutes says yes. The 2026/27 FPL price (£5.5m) 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 #262 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. Unranked sources are skipped, never treated as 999, which is why a player missing from Yahoo's XI is not secretly ranked 400th.
