With the 2025/26 Premier League season weeks away, Fantasy Premier League has begun unveiling player prices, sparking excitement among managers eager to build their squads. Here's what we know so far:
Goalkeepers
Jordan Pickford (Everton) – £5.5m
Pickford finished the 2024/25 campaign as the top-scoring goalkeeper in FPL for the second consecutive year, bolstered by Everton’s impressive defensive record under David Moyes. After Moyes’ mid-season return, the Toffees conceded a league-low 28 big chances, making Pickford a reliable option for clean sheets.
Defenders
Rayan Aït-Nouri (Manchester City) – £6.0m
Aït-Nouri’s ability to contribute both defensively and offensively makes him a great selection this season, especially if he nails down a starting spot in Pep's City side. Managers should keep an eye on pre-season friendlies to confirm his role.
Midfielders
Florian Wirtz (Liverpool) – £8.5m
The former Bayer Leverkusen star, now at Liverpool, enters FPL at £8.5m. Wirtz’s impressive Bundesliga form last season (10 goals, 12 assists in 31 appearances) suggests he could be a premium midfield option. His ability to contribute both goals and assists makes him a tantalizing pick, especially in Liverpool’s attacking setup under Arne Slot.
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – £8.5m
Salah delivered an outstanding 2024/25 Premier League season for Liverpool, scoring 29 goals and providing 19 assists in 38 matches, leading the league in goal involvements with 48 and securing the Golden Boot and Playmaker awards. His pivotal performances, including 16 away goals and a record-breaking 47 goal contributions in a single season, were instrumental in Liverpool winning the Premier League title under Arne Slot.
Forwards
Alexander Isak (Newcastle United) – £10.5m
Newcastle’s star striker has received a significant £2.0m price hike from his £8.5m starting price in 2024/25, reflecting his stellar performance as the top-scoring forward in FPL last season with 211 points. Isak’s 23 goals and 6 assists, combined with his role as Newcastle’s primary penalty-taker, make him a premium option.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City) – £14.0m
Despite the team's struggles, with City finishing sixth and losing six of eight league games between November and December, Haaland's individual performance remained exceptional, though he was often marked by multiple defenders. His contributions included 34 goals across 48 appearances in all competitions, reinforcing his status as a key player for the club.
