What are the working processes for the best midfielders for Fantasy Premier League?

Midfielders are very crucial for the FPL managers, as they can produce strong points for them. A midfielder (5 points) can earn one more point than a forward (4 points) from a goal, while they can also earn one point from a clean sheet, which a forward can’t earn. Also, in 2025/26, just like a forward, a midfielder can earn a maximum of two points in a match from defensive contributions by delivering at least 12 CBIRT (combination of clearances, blocks, interceptions, ball recoveries, and tackles). So, there are many aspects to how a midfielder can generate points for the FPL managers, as they can also shine with three assist points, just like other players.
