Bournemouth\u2019s Kroupi has been reclassified from a forward to a midfielder after mainly featuring as a No 10 behind centre-forward Evanilson in his breakout Fantasy campaign last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite playing in a central support role, Kroupi enjoyed a prolific 2025\/26 by scoring 13 goals over 33 appearances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Frenchman\u2019s 134.0 minutes per goal was over 50 minutes quicker than Antoine Semenyo, whose average of 188.2 was the fastest among regular starters in midfield last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The positional change also means Kroupi will earn more points from goals and clean sheets as a midfielder, indicating he could play a bigger part in Fantasy managers\u2019 plans this season.<\/p>\n
Manchester United\u2019s Dorgu changes from a defender to a midfielder in 2026\/27 due to how he was used by Michael Carrick during the second half of the previous campaign.<\/p>\n
The Dane was limited to only three starts after Carrick took charge in Gameweek 22, but he played as a left winger AND scored in all of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He netted against Arsenal and Manchester City, while he produced a goal and an assist against Brighton & Hove Albion.<\/p>\n
When assessed against his midfield team-mates Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo under Carrick last season, Dorgu fares well.<\/p>\n
His 33.2 minutes per shot was the quickest of the trio, while he matched Cunha’s total of three big chances (situations where a player is expected to score), despite playing over 800 minutes fewer than the Brazilian.<\/p>\n
Man City\u2019s Marmoush, meanwhile, moves from a midfielder to a forward this season.<\/p>\n
The Egyptian was utilised up front by Pep Guardiola in his final campaign in charge last season, scoring three goals and assisting a further three.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Brighton & Hove Albion\u2019s Mats Wieffer changes from a midfielder to a defender, having played as a right-back in 2025\/26, while Arsenal\u2019s Myles Lewis-Skelly switches from a defender to a midfielder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Scout provides analysis of the key players who have been reclassified this season The Scout reveals the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":552086,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105,4277],"class_list":["post-552085","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports","tag-text"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552085","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=552085"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552085\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/552086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=552085"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=552085"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=552085"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
