PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Wilfried Gnonto is a midfielder for Leeds, age 22, £5.0m. The Premier ranks him 311th overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#266, 37.0 points) with the consensus of 3 other boards (283.67). Last year's Sleeper line ran 18 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 4 starts and 521 minutes, 0 goals and 3 assists, 18 tackles and 15 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 32 points (1.4 per match). Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 37.0. 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: 0.4 xG, 0.77 xA, 1.17 xGI and 2.2 above expected assists. Role at Leeds is the 2026/27 question sitting under the 2025/26 number. 4 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 265; the coldest is FPL ICT Index at 293.

Market: £5.0m, 0.0% owned into the 2026/27 FPL start, 4 boards on the file. Mid-range ownership means the name is known and not fully paid. That is usually where this desk lives — not the 70% tax, not the 0.2% dart. ICT 27.5.

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. FPL flag: injured; Hamstring injury - Unknown return date. Nearby on The Premier: Tosin Adarabioyo, Tom Cairney, Ethan Nwaneri. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #266), the hybrid moves him down to #311. That move is the third list doing its job.

Age 22 is the other half of a hybrid. The 2025/26 counting line is one season. The Athletic-style youth lean on this desk exists specifically so a Leeds kid does not get stuck behind a 32-year-old who had a nice bonus year. Sleeper still has to see the minutes. 4 starts is the beginning of a case, not the end of one.

How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #266 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.
