The top 10 by AI Rating
- Bruno Fernandes (MUN, £12.0m, 90) — the only Strong Buy in the game. On everything United create, and the fixtures gift-wrap his start: Hull away, then Ipswich at home.
- Haaland (MCI, £15.5m, 89) — the game’s most expensive player, and three very winnable home games in the first five.
- Semenyo (MCI, £8.5m, 89) — the marquee move to City; a premium shot volume at a mid-price tag.
- Szoboszlai (LIV, £7.0m, 89) — Liverpool have the kindest opening run in the league, and he is their best-rated route into it.
- Mbeumo (MUN, £8.0m, 88) — the second United attacker in the elite tier; same lovely fixtures as Bruno.
- Gibbs-White (NFO, £8.0m, 88) — Forest’s creative hub, backed by the model again.
- Enzo (CHE, £7.0m, 88) — Chelsea’s midfield metronome at a friendly price.
- Wilson (LEE, £6.5m, 88) — Leeds play three of their first five at home; he is the cheap way in.
- Anderson (MCI, £6.5m, 88) — the £116m summer signing starts at a price the model loves.
- Guéhi (MCI, £6.0m, 88) — the only defender in the elite tier, at a budget price.
How to read this
It’s a fresh season, so until live match data flows in, the model leans on price, role, availability and fixture difficulty — expect movement from the very first whistle. Bruno’s 90 is the number to beat; the chasing pack is separated by fixtures more than talent. The full, sortable Top 50 lives on the Rankings page, and our GW1–5 fixture analysis explains the schedule side.
