FPL Budget Picks: The Best MID Under £6.5
The call — Budget mids under £6.5m: who's actually worth your money Groß is the answer, and it's not close. £5.7m, starts every week, never gets hooked on 60, and our model has him down for around 46 points over the next six — a solid haul most weeks rather than fireworks, which is exactly what you want at this price. Brighton's run…
What has not being with FFIQ cost you this season?
One squad, picked before a ball was kicked and run for six gameweeks on three transfers — no hits taken. Scored on FPL’s own results.
Your name and your FPL team name. That is all it takes, and we will have your answer before you have finished reading this sentence.

The rest of the bracket, one line each, in our order of preference:
Tavernier (BOU, £6.1m) — nailed starter, favourable fixtures once Liverpool at the Vitality is out of the way, and hardly anyone has him (~1 in 2 out of 10). Good for 34-odd points over six.
Dewsbury-Hall (EVE, £6.5m) — starts, and Ipswich at home is lovely, but the run after is tough. Top of the price band buying bottom of this list's fixtures. Pass.
Diego Gomez (BHA, £5.0m) — the pure-value shout. A pound cheaper than Groß, same kind fixtures, projected in the low 30s, starts. If your budget's genuinely tight, this is where it goes.
Schade (BRE, £6.1m) and Scott (BOU, £6.1m) — both start, both have decent runs, both project mid-to-high 20s. Fine. Not exciting, not wrong.
Xhaka (SUN, £5.5m) — starts every minute of every game, which I respect, but City away kicks off a very tough run. Minutes without fixtures is only half the deal.
Stach (LEE, £6.0m) — quietly projects 30 over six with an average run. Owned by almost nobody (~fewer than 3 in 100). Worth a look if you're bored.
Le Fée (SUN, £5.8m) — same brutal Sunderland fixtures, and not yet proven at this level. No.
Barnes (NEW, £6.0m) — very kind fixtures starting with Hull at home, but Newcastle's rotation history means I'm asking who comes off on 60. Handle with care.
Anderson (MCI, £6.3m) — starts for City, apparently, but average fixtures and modest returns for £6.3m.
Slater (HUL, £4.5m) — the bench-fodder question answered: he starts, he's £4.5m, the fixtures are horrible. That's fine — he's there to be a body who plays.
The call: buy Groß. If the £5.7m doesn't fit, Tavernier is the model's next in line — but Gomez at £5.0m is the one that funds your premiums and still plays every week. Cheap and nailed beats shiny and rotated. Every time.
