Team of the season 2025/26

The best XI you could have picked

This is the season distilled to one unchanging team: the eleven highest-scoring players who fit a legal formation, picked before a ball was kicked and never touched again. In a 3-4-3 they banked 2,141 points. Haaland led the line on 239 and made FPL's weekly Team of the Week eleven times, more than anyone else here; Thiago's 22 goals and Bowen's 187 rounded out the front three. The midfield is where the points stacked up: Bruno Fernandes headed it on 235 with 24 assists, while Semenyo and Gibbs-White added 17 and 15 goals from the same line. Gabriel anchored the defence on 209, the best of any defender here, ahead of Guéhi and Senesi, with Raya the pick in goal on 162.

3-4-3 · 2,141 pts

Most goals

Goals are still the loudest currency in the game. Haaland led with 27, five clear of Thiago, whose 22 came with a single assist all season, the purest poacher's return in the table. Semenyo's 17 made it two Manchester City names in the top four, with Watkins close behind on 16 for Villa.

Most assists

Creation is the other half of attacking returns. Bruno Fernandes laid on 24 goals for others, almost double the next name, and chipped in 9 of his own. Behind him Bowen and Cherki tied on 13, two very different routes to the same total.
