Best FPL Budget Picks GW3: Value Players Under £6m
Best budget picks by position
GKP: Kelleher (£5.0m, 3.4 xP)The Brentford shot-stopper offers decent value at £5.0m despite a tricky away fixture at Leeds. With 6.6% ownership, he's quietly delivering returns without breaking the bank. His 0.68 points per million ratio makes him a solid rotation option for budget-conscious managers looking to maximize funds elsewhere. DEF: Pinnock (£4.5m, 5.7 xP)
The standout budget defender for GW3. Coventry's Pinnock faces Hull City at home in a favorable FDR 2 fixture and boasts an impressive 55.2% clean sheet probability. At just £4.5m with a league-leading 1.27 points per million among budget options, his 0.1% ownership makes him a serious differential. The xP of 5.7 is exceptional value in this price bracket. MID: Dewsbury-Hall (£6.5m, 4.5 xP)
Just scraping under the premium threshold, Everton's Dewsbury-Hall offers 4.5 expected points ahead of their trip to Bournemouth. While the away fixture isn't ideal, his 4.7% ownership suggests he's flying under the radar. At £6.5m, he provides flexibility for budget builds needing midfield coverage without completely sacrificing quality. FWD: Evanilson (£6.0m, 4.1 xP)
Bournemouth's new striker faces Everton at home and represents decent value at £6.0m. With 3.1% ownership, he's a contrarian pick who could benefit from favorable home conditions. His 4.1 expected points demonstrate attacking potential without the premium price tag of premium forwards.
