The short answer
Sunderland's 2-0 pre-season win over Lens strengthened the case for several players.
Trai Hume and Wilson Isidor scored, while Granit Xhaka and Thomas Meunier returned to the starting XI after the World Cup.
For FPL, Enzo Le Fée remains the most complete attacking option, Isidor is an interesting £5.5m forward, and Robin Roefs offers a £5.0m route into the defence.
Latest team news
Head coach Régis Le Bris confirmed Omar Alderete and Nordi Mukiele missed the Lens match with minor injuries and said he hoped both would be available for the beginning of the season.

Le Fée
Official FPL analysis highlights his 2025/26 routes to points: five goals, six assists, 16 defensive-contribution points and 16 bonus points.
Sunderland start away to Ipswich before hosting Fulham.
Verdict: Best Sunderland player for managers wanting an attacker with several scoring routes.
Isidor
Isidor costs £5.5m and scored against Lens. His price is attractive for a third forward, but Sunderland also have Brian Brobbey and other attackers.
Verdict: Differential only after final lineup confirmation.
Roefs and the defence
Roefs costs £5.0m. At that price, he needs to outperform the £4.5m goalkeeper bracket through clean sheets, saves or bonus.
Hume's goal against Lens adds attacking interest, but one friendly should not outweigh minutes, price and defensive outlook.
OneFPL verdict
Le Fée is the first Sunderland player to consider. Isidor is the attacking differential and Roefs is the safer defensive route.
