Flying wingers and playmakers who love a late run into the box are the order of the day with regard to smart FPL picks
Who are the best Fantasy Premier League midfielders for 2022-23?
Midfielders are historically the best assets on FPL, with players who fall into that category quite often providing more goals and assists potential than forwards in the modern game.
Explosive wingers who cut inside are always popular, while central midfielders who dart into the box at every opportunity are also essential, and there is great value to be found from the top of your budget right down to the bottom.
With the game now open for another season, GOAL has a list of the top midfielders to help you pick the strongest possible squad.

Mohamed Salah | Liverpool | £13m
Liverpool's Egyptian king Mohamed Salah was the highest scoring player on FPL once again last season as he won a share of the Golden Boot by scoring 23 Premier League goals.
Salah also recorded 13 assists, and his potential for both scoring and setting up goals will be as high as ever in 2022-23, especially now that he has £64 million ($76m) new boy Darwin Nunez to link up with in the final third.

Son Heung-min | Tottenham | £12m
The man who shared the Golden Boot with Salah last term is available for a whole million less than the Liverpool star on FPL in 2022-23.
Son Heung-min will be one of the most popular picks on the game again on the back of his best season yet for Tottenham, who appear to be heading in the right direction under Antonio Conte.
With Harry Kane and £50m ($60m) summer signing Richarlison to work alongside, Son will surely have plenty of opportunities to reach the same heights in the upcoming campaign.

Kevin De Bruyne | Manchester City | £12m
Kevin De Bruyne recorded 15 goals and eight assists in 30 Premier League appearances last season to help Manchester City clinch their sixth title.
That haul earned the Belgian 195 FPL points, the fourth-best tally on the game for a midfielder, and that number could increase drastically in 2022-23.
De Bruyne will now have prolific Norwegian forward Erling Haaland to provide for, which boosts his chances of breaking the assists record he holds alongside Thierry Henry.

Raheem Sterling | Manchester City | £10m
Raheem Sterling will be a great option for FPL managers once again in the upcoming campaign, though he may not necessarily be turning out for Manchester City.
The England winger's output in the final third has been impressive throughout his seven-year stay at the Etihad Stadium, but he has the potential to improve even more, wherever he plays.
