Carlos Baleba — FPL stats
Brighton · midfielder · £4.5m · owned by 1.5% of managers
What Baleba's numbers actually say
0 goals and 0 assists last season, off chances worth about 1.5 between them — 0.08 a game. He is not getting into the positions that produce FPL returns, so anything he is worth has to come from minutes, bonus and defensive points rather than goals.
23 starts in 38 gameweeks (1,646 minutes), with 15 appearances of an hour or more. He is in the side more often than not, but not the sort of pick you can leave alone all season.
He started at £5.0m and finished at £4.5m. Price moves follow how many managers were buying him, so this is really a record of what the game thought of him as the season went on.

The fixtures ahead
Coloured by official FPL fixture difficulty — green is kind, red is not. The full grid for every club is on fixture difficulty.
What Bawler projects
The projection prices every way a midfielder scores — appearing, goals, assists, clean sheets, saves, defensive contribution, bonus and cards — from his minutes and his underlying numbers. Before the season starts it is fixture-neutral: what he would be worth in an average gameweek, not against a particular opponent. How the model performed across a full season, gameweek by gameweek, is published on predicted points.
Price
He started 2025/26 at £5.0m, peaked at £5.0m and finished at £4.5m — a move of −0.5m. FPL prices follow transfers in and out, so this is a record of what the game as a whole made of him. Tonight's risers and fallers are on price changes.
Also at Brighton
Every figure on this page is computed from the Official FPL API's per-gameweek histories for Baleba — the same rows the game scores — and the totals are checked against FPL's own published season aggregates on every build. Expected goals, expected assists and expected goals conceded are FPL's published values. The full sortable database is on player stats.
FPL is a free fantasy game — this is points analytics, not betting advice.
