Trai Hume

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Trai Hume is a defender for Sunderland, age 24, £4.5m. The Premier ranks him 124th overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#138, 96.0 points) with the consensus of 4 other boards (114.25). The industry still has him 24 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 Sunderland still builds around.

The 2025/26 Premier League line is 34 starts and 3032 minutes, 2 goals and 1 assists, 9 clean sheets, 42 goals against, 68 tackles and 135 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 110 points (2.9 per match) with 6 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 96.0. 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: 2.27 xG, 2.05 xA, 4.32 xGI. Set pieces: corners order #3 for Sunderland. The defensive events are the floor: 68 tackles, 135 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 Yahoo Cheat Sheet at 14; the coldest is RotoWire Fantrax / Sleeper 400 at 171.

Market: £4.5m, 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 1.7. ICT 120.9.

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: James Hill, Robert Sánchez, Đorđe Petrović. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #138), the hybrid moves him up to #124. 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 defenders get ranked on what they just did and whether Sunderland still gives them the ball. 3032 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. 2 goals and 1 assists are how a defender outruns his GA column. Without those, you are betting 9 clean sheets and the CBI stream (135) against 42 goals against at −2 a piece. Sunderland's 2026/27 defensive shape is therefore half of this player's rank. The other half already happened, across 34 starts.

How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #138 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. 9 yellows are a real Sleeper tax.
