Van de Ven

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Van de Ven is a defender for Spurs, age 25, £5.0m. The Premier ranks him 143rd overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#166, 83.6 points) with the consensus of 3 other boards (145.0). The industry still has him 21 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 Spurs still builds around.

The 2025/26 Premier League line is 35 starts and 3041 minutes, 4 goals and 1 assists, 9 clean sheets, 50 goals against, 38 tackles and 174 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 116 points (3.3 per match) with 10 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 83.6. 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: 2.82 xG, 0.38 xA, 3.2 xGI. The defensive events are the floor: 38 tackles, 174 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 The Athletic PL 50 at 44; the coldest is RotoWire Fantrax / Sleeper 400 at 230.

Market: £5.0m, 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 2.2. ICT 99.6.

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: Sávio Oliveira, Nick Woltemade, Justin Kluivert. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #166), the hybrid moves him up to #143. 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 Spurs still gives them the ball. 3041 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. 4 goals and 1 assists are how a defender outruns his GA column. Without those, you are betting 9 clean sheets and the CBI stream (174) against 50 goals against at −2 a piece. Spurs's 2026/27 defensive shape is therefore half of this player's rank. The other half already happened, across 35 starts.

How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #166 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.
