Struggling to find the perfect FPL differential to dominate your mini-league? While everyone else flocks to the big-name players, the real wins come from unearthing undervalued gems.
This season, Everton's squad is packed with potential FPL sleepers and bargains waiting to be discovered. Forget Mohammed Salah, Erling Haaland and Bukayo Saka, we've scoured the squad to bring you five Everton players you secretly need in your Fantasy Premier League team who are set to deliver big points without breaking the bank.
While you can only choose three of them, we like to spoil you for choice to fit these players into your squad.
James Tarkowski - £5.5m
As a guaranteed starter at the heart of the Everton backline, he offers consistent minutes and strong clean sheet potential, especially in home fixtures. What makes him particularly valuable, however, is his knack for racking up bonus points. Tarkowski is a bonus-point magnet, thanks to his high number of clearances, blocks, and headed duels won.
Add to that his considerable threat from set-pieces, which makes him a sneaky candidate for a goal or two, and you have a low-cost, high-value defender who can anchor your backline.
Jack Grealish - £6.5m (Man City price)
After two seasons of limited game time under Pep Guardiola, Grealish has moved to a club where he is expected to be the main attacking outlet and a guaranteed starter. This is a crucial factor for FPL managers, as he now has the platform to recapture his Aston Villa form. a potentially high-value asset, offering a significant points ceiling at a new club where he is the focal point, rather than one of many options.
If he hits the ground running and becomes the star of the Everton side as many expect, he could be an absolute steal.
Adam Aznou - £4.5m
Adam Aznou is the kind of low-risk, high-reward signing that can define a season. The 19-year-old left-back, a product of both Barcelona and Bayern Munich’s academies, has joined Everton with a clear pathway to first-team football. With Vitalii Mykolenko a doubt for the season opener, Aznou’s opportunity may come sooner than expected.
Offering more of an attacking threat than the Ukrainian, the youngster could quickly rack up points if he secures a regular place in the starting XI. Consistency will be key—but if he gets it, Aznou could become one of the season’s breakout stars.
Iliman Ndiaye - £6.5m
For FPL managers seeking a creative mid-price differential, Iliman Ndiaye offers huge potential, especially after the buzz surrounding him at the start of last season. His versatility allows him to play across the front line, and with Jack Grealish’s arrival, the Senegalese star could shift into a central role.
In a more fluid tactical setup, Ndiaye’s ability to drive at defences, create chances, and deliver both goals and assists makes him a strong candidate for consistent attacking returns. With low ownership likely early in the season, he’s the kind of high-upside pick that could be your secret weapon in climbing the mini-league table.
Thierno Barry - £6.0m
For attackers, goals, goals, goals is what you’re looking for and Thierno Barry is a player to keep a very close eye on. The new Everton signing is likely to be a budget-friendly forward, allowing you to free up funds for premium assets elsewhere on Haaland and Sesko.
While he may need an initial period to acclimatize to the Premier League, his role as a number nine means he will be judged on goals. If he hits the ground running, he could quickly become a key FPL asset with incredibly low ownership, offering a massive advantage in your mini-leagues. Barry is the perfect long-term punt for managers willing to take a calculated risk.
While others chase the same few popular picks, a strategic FPL manager knows that the real rewards often lie with the players flying under the radar. Don't be afraid to take a chance on these Toffees; their potential to deliver could be the secret weapon you need to win your league.
