Matt Crooks costs £4.5m in FPL 2026/27, is a midfielder for Hull City, and the Onside model projects 3+ points across Crooks' next 6 fixtures. Owned by 0.5% of managers. Next fixture GW4: at CHE — projected 0.5 xP.

Onside verdictThe official designation puts him ahead of McBurnie on penalties. If it holds, a £4.5m midfielder on spot-kicks is a genuine edge; if the previews are right, it is a trap. Wait for Hull's first penalty before committing.
