Best FPL Replacement for Luis Diaz in 2025-26 Season

Colombian left-winger Luis Diaz is expected to leave the Premier League club Liverpool, as he is very close to signing for the German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

Last FPL season, the Colombian finished as the fourth-highest points earner among the midfielders, while his starting and ending valuations in that season were both £7.5m.

Luis Diaz FPL Replacements for 2025/26 Season

As the Liverpool player is set to turn his back on the Premier League, the situation is tricky for FPL managers to choose the right Luis Diaz FPL replacement, especially before the beginning of the next Fantasy Premier League season. But there is no other choice for the FPL managers. Below, we will look at some top players who can replace Luis Diaz in FPL squads:

Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)

Bournemouth’s Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo has a £7.0m value at the beginning of the new FPL season. After scoring 107 FPL points in the 2023/24 season, Semenyo impressed last season with 11 goals and seven assists in the Premier League and secured 165 FPL points, including 14 bonus points. Although Bournemouth will start the new PL season against the defending champions Liverpool, their next four fixtures are all below the fourth-level difficulty. He can be a good FPL replacement for Luis Diaz.

Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest)

After the recent chaos, Morgan Gibbs-White just signed a new three-year contract deal to stay with Nottingham Forest for longer. In the last three PL seasons, the English attacking midfielder was very consistent, as his FPL points were 145, 142, and 154, respectively. All the last three seasons, he has maintained at least five goals and 10+ assists to become a dependable midfielder in the FPL.

As Morgan’s FPL 2025/26 valuation starts with £7.5m, he can be a good replacement for Diaz in the FPL. Forest have good early fixtures, as only one out of their first five matches of the new PL season has a four-level difficulty, which is against Arsenal in the fourth gameweek.

Leandro Trossard (Arsenal)

Arsenal’s Belgian winger Leandro Trossard can be another strong FPL midfielder name in this list, whose FPL 2025/26 starting valuation is £7.0m. In the last five PL seasons, his FPL points were 132 (5 goals and 6 assists), 141 (8 goals and 4 assists), 154 (8 goals and 13 assists), 138 (12 goals and 2 assists), and 152 (8 goals and 8 assists), respectively.

Trossard has always proved himself a consistent name for the FPL managers, and he can be a safer choice in the desperate search for a dependable name in a higher mid-budget choice in the FPL. However, Arsenal’s first five fixtures for the PL 2025/26 are Manchester United (difficulty rating 3), Leeds United (difficulty rating 2), Liverpool (difficulty rating 5), Nottingham Forest (difficulty rating 3), and Manchester City (difficulty rating 4). It can make the situation tougher for the FPL managers to confidently go for Trossard in the early part of the season.
