★ = how strongly we recommend the player in this gameweek (5 stars: best pick for the position). The percentage is the probability of starting. PG = the grade Sorare projects for the match, from A (highly recommended) to F (not recommended). Names link to the player page on Sorare. The price is the lowest public price of the Limited card at the time of publication (EUR and ETH): it changes constantly, check Sorare before buying.
How we picked them
Stars combine performance over the last 5 and 15 matches (55% and 45% weight) with Sorare's projected grade (PG), the probability of starting, home advantage and the strength of the opponent in the table, and are awarded by comparing players in the same position within the same competition. Only players with a match in the gameweek, at least 3 appearances in the last 5 and a starting probability of at least 70% are included. This time we left out 11 players with high averages but a low chance of starting.
Starting probabilities and projected grades come from Sorare (where missing, estimates based on recent matches), not official information: check the official lineups before you set yours. This ranking is not purchase or investment advice. Sorare is for adults only and prizes may involve buying cards.
