These eight players will help you win FPL

Have you settled on your Fantasy Premier League team yet, or are you still at the tinkering stage? Either way you may want to consider one of these players in your team, according to our FPL experts . Here are the eight players - aside from the obvious premium picks such as Bruno Fernandes and Erling Haaland - we think can help you have a successful season. You can join the sources League on the official Fantasy Premier League game using the code broadcasterfpl - or by clicking this link . Florian Wirtz, Liverpool , midfielder, £7.5m Wirtz at £7.5m with around 14% ownership looks like one of the better mid-priced differentials available right now. While nearly half the game has locked in Dominik Szoboszlai, far fewer managers are backing the German, which creates useful rank upside if he delivers. Under new manager Andoni Iraola, the picture is getting clearer. Pre-season has seen Wirtz deployed as a proper number 10, operating close to striker Alexander Isak. Iraola has spoken openly about wanting Wirtz in that central role behind the striker rather than pushed wide, and the early friendlies have reflected that. Playing higher up the pitch should mean more touches in the final third and a greater share of Liverpool 's goal involvement. Last season, Wirtz showed quality without fully maximising his output. A second year in the Premier League, combined with a manager who seems determined to get the best out of both him and Isak, improves the outlook. At this price and ownership level, he offers a cleaner route into Liverpool 's attack than many of the more popular midfield options. Pascal Gross, Brighton , midfielder, £5.5m Gross is one of the more compelling budget midfielders available, and is currently owned by fewer than 11% of teams. He is not flashy, but his underlying role and importance has improved significantly this summer. With Danny Welbeck now at Chelsea , Gross should take over penalty duties. He converted a spot-kick in pre-season against Strasbourg and also delivered a free-kick assist in the same match. Add his existing involvement in corners and other set-pieces and you have multiple routes to returns that most £5.5m midfielders simply do not possess. Brighton under Fabian Hurzeler continue to generate chances, and Gross remains central to how they progress the ball and attack dead balls. He is trusted for minutes when fit and offers a reliable floor plus occasional ceiling at a price that helps fund the big hitters elsewhere. For managers building around expensive premiums, Gross is a practical enabler who can quietly accumulate points without demanding a large slice of the budget. Antonin Kinbroadcaster, Tottenham , goalkeeper, £4.5m Kinbroadcaster looks like one of the standout budget goalkeeper options this season, particularly if he can hold on to the starting place at Tottenham . The Czech goalkeeper finished last season strongly, starting every game under Roberto de Zerbi and producing several excellent performances. There is still some uncertainty, with Guglielmo Vicario still at the club. However, Kinbroadcaster is seemingly De Zerbi's first choice. He stuck with Kinbroadcaster for Tottenham 's run-in last season, even after Vicario returned from injury, which showed how highly he was regarded. At £4.5m, Kinbroadcaster doesn't need to produce huge returns to justify his place in your FPL team. If he can remain Spurs' first choice, the combination of clean sheet potential, save points and a low price makes him an excellent option. Dominik Szoboszlai, Liverpool , midfielder, £7m Szoboszlai is an intriguing option at £7m after an excellent individual campaign last season. He finished as Liverpool 's second highest-scoring FPL player with 160 points - only Virgil van Dijk had more with 175 points. Liverpool have a very appealing opening five gameweeks, starting with Newcastle followed by Nottingham Forest , Ipswich, Fulham and Bournemouth , and the Hungarian has plenty of routes to points. He scored 13 goals in all competitions last season, including four direct free-kicks, while also offering assist potential from set-pieces. His impressive work off the ball lead to defensive contribution (defcon) points too. There are some question marks over exactly where he will play under new Liverpool boss Iraola, particularly with Wirtz likely to slot into the number 10 position. However, Szoboszlai's versatility could actually work in his favour, meaning his minutes should be reasonably guaranteed. Joao Pedro, Chelsea , strike
