Grealish loan to Everton reshapes FPL outlook
The move could revive his fantasy value and alter the roles of Ndiaye and Dewsbury-Hall this season.
The piece explores whether Grealish can regain FPL value after his loan to Everton and how it affects Iliman Ndiaye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Grealish Returns to FPL Spotlight as Everton Move Reshapes Midfield
Jack Grealish has seldom been a must have in FPL since his peak years, and his £6.5m price has often kept him off most managers’ lists. A loan move to Everton could give him the platform to thrive in a more free roaming mid role, especially if the team asks him to play in a left half space and to link play between midfield and attack. His Villa days showed the upside when he was able to create and control play in front of goal, a template that managers may hope to see translated back into a Premier League setting.
If Grealish can rediscover that form, it could shift the momentum for other mid price midfielders in the pool. The immediate question for owners remains whether Iliman Ndiaye, the most owned Everton midfielder at £6.5m, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall at £5.0m will benefit or be nudged aside by Grealish’s arrival. Early fixtures and the manager’s preferred system will be key to judging how minutes and chances might unfold for each of them as the season starts.
Key Takeaways
"Maybe it was my mistake to play him as a winger. But in Aston Villa, he started from, I would say, the left position, the winger position, and after going more inside. Here it’s a more fixed position, more in the places."
Guardiola on Grealish's best role
"I think we’re getting him at a good time because he’s experienced, he understands the Premier League, and we’re all fully aware of the levels he’s capable of performing to. I know Jack’s ambition is to get back into the England squad, so hopefully we can help him achieve that over the course of the season. We’re all looking forward to working with him and providing a platform for him to show the best version of himself."
Moyes on Grealish’s potential at Everton
"When I spoke to the manager, he says he wants me to, in the final third, be creative. And I feel like I want to have that way about me where it’s like I was before, where I had no fear. Sometimes you will lose the ball and miss chances but then also, you want to be able to play that killer pass and have an end product. So that’s the main aim."
Grealish on his aims after signing for Everton
This move signals a trend where clubs test the creative edge in fresh systems, making midfield roles more fluid than in past seasons. For FPL managers, minutes and role should trump price, since a player can swing value quickly if their position and responsibilities shift on a new team. A loan can offer a rapid reset in a player's fantasy profile, but it also introduces volatility as coaches experiment with lineups.
For Ndiaye and Dewsbury-Hall, the outcome hinges on Grealish’s exact duties at Everton. If he operates as the creative hub, other midfield options could see their goal threat or assist potential altered. Managers should stay flexible, watch early match reports, and be ready to adjust selections when the lineup becomes clearer after a few games.
Highlights
- Fresh starts create fresh fantasy value
- Creativity can be the new clean sheet for midfielders
- Minutes decide the story in FPL this season
- Everton needs a spark and Grealish could be it
The season will test whether a loan can unlock fantasy gold and reshape midfield value.
