Midfielders play a crucial role in every FPL manager’s team, know the best budget ones and bargains picks
Every midfielder gets special bonus points for keeping clean sheets, as well as an extra point for scoring goals. Every successful FPL team has a good set of midfielders, featuring the best premium assets as well as budget midfielders.
Budget player options allow FPL managers to include more premium assets in their team. So it is important to have a good set of budget midfielders who give you value for money. Last season, most FPL teams had 3-5-2 and 4-4-2 formations, where they tried to maximise midfielders. As such, having a good set of the best budget midfielders is a must.

Before we look at the top 5 best budget FPL midfielders, let us consider some honourable mentions.
Honorable Mentions: Arsenal midfielder Gabriel Martinelli (£6.0m) is an honourable mention as he delivers a good goal threat and is the cheapest Arsenal attacker but has a slight rotation risk. Another honourable mention is Aston Villa’s Leon Bailey, who at £5.0 m is a very cheap option and comes off a great pre-season but risks rotation.
The Best FPL Budget Midfielders
Pedro Neto (WOL) (£5.5m)
Portuguese winger Pedro Neto has all the makings of one of the best budget midfielders in the 2022/23 season.
Neto has a great set of opening fixtures against Leeds and Fulham, as well as a £1.0m drop in price this season.
Most importantly, Neto is a regular starter for his side, Wolverhampton Wanderers. In the last 2020-21 Premier League season, Neto managed to score five goals and bagged eight assists.
Bruno Guimaraes (NEW) (£6.0)
Bruno Guimaraes is one of the best midfielders at his club, Newcastle United, which secures him a regular starting spot.
Guimaraes joined Newcastle from Lyon for £40 million this January. Ever since then, he has averaged the third-most points per match of any midfielder currently priced at £6m.
The 24-year-old Brazilian scored four goals for the Magpies in the final seven matches of the Premier League season.
Jacob Ramsey (AST) (£5.5m)
England international Jacob Ramsey is another important prospect and one of the most ideal budget midfielders in the FPL.
Ramsey has low ownership, making him a good differential player and a guaranteed starter for his side.
The 2021/22 campaign was a breakthrough season for the 21-year-old as he looked mighty impressive with the ball. Ramsey not only scored six goals and one assist but also showcased leadership qualities.
Andreas Pereira (£4.5)
Most FPL managers will find Andreas Pereira a gamble in the upcoming season as he has never really played a full season in the Premier League.
He spent his last two seasons on loan at Flamengo and Lazio while being loaned out to different clubs even before that.
Andreas Pereira recently joined Fulham in the summer for a £10m fee. He can be expected to be a regular starter for his new club.
So far, nearly 25% of FPL managers have chosen him, making him one of the most popular FPL picks.
Anthony Gordon (EVE) (£5.5m)
Anthony Gordon had a breakthrough season last year in the 2021-22 season. He scored four goals and bagged three assists last season, which helped Everton stay above the relegation zone.
These impressive performances led him to be awarded the club’s No.10 shirt, making him a guaranteed starter.
With Richarlison’s £60million exit to Spurs, the 21-year-old is bound to have an increase in game the following campaign.
