Best FPL Midfielders GW21, Premier League 2025-26

Welcome to Gameweek 21 edition of best FPL midfielders for this week. The upcoming Premier League Gameweek is filled with some exciting fixtures, and we have done our in-depth research to provide you with the list of best Midfielders to pick in GW21. Most of the players in the list for the week are budget-friendly options as well. Let's now waste much more time then, scroll down below to find our choice of best Fantasy Premier League midfielders for Gameweek 21.


Best Midfielders in Fantasy Premier League This Week - Gameweek 21 (GW21)

Matheus Cunha (Manchester United, £8.2m)

Although Manchester United have been underwhelming in recent games, Matheus Cunha has been one of their better players. He has stepped up in the absence of Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo as the leader of the Man Utd attack. In fact , the Brazilian had been directly involved in 4 goals in his last 6 Premier League appearances. Ruben Amorim's side will be facing a weak Burnley side next, and that makes Cunha one of the best FPL midfielders for this week.


Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle, £7.1m)

Bruno Guimarães has been one of the best midfielders in Fantasy Premier who has been completely overlooked by a large portion of owners. The Brazilian central midfielder has scored 7 goals and assisted another 2 this season. He scored in Newcastle's recent game against Crystal Palace as well. With Eddie Howe's men facing Leeds at home next, Guimarães truly does look like a really attractive pick.


Declan Rice (Arsenal, £7.1m)

Declan Rice is a rare talent in football who has made a £100 million transfer fee look like a bargain. He has been extraordinary for Arsenal since signing from West Ham, and Mikel Arteta has developed him into one of the best midfielders in world football. Rice looks set to become an all-time Arsenal legend if he continues to grow at this rate and stay at the club. The Gunners will be facing a struggling Liverpool side at home this week, and Rice could cause serious problems for Arne Slot's men.


Jack Grealish (Everton, £6.5m)

Despite being on the losing side in what was a 2-4 loss against Brentford for Everton, Jack Grealish had no reason to be embarrassed himself. The English winger assisted both goals scored by Everton in the game, and was unfortunate to be on the losing side. The Toffees will be facing Wolves at home in Gameweek 21, and Grealish is surely becoming a huge headache for a weak Wolves defence. Undoubtedly one of the best budget FPL midfielders for this week.


Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa, £7.6m)

Morgan Rogers has been on a roll this season, having scored 7 and assisting another 4 in just 20 Premier League appearances. In fact, he's been involved in a total of 5 Premier League goals in his last 5 League games. Aston Villa will be facing Crystal Palace away next, who have been in terrible form after what was a promising start to the season. Rogers is a really attractive option considering how unconvincing Palace are at the moment.
