The 2025/26 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season is almost here! Are you ready to dominate your mini-league? With new signings, price changes, and expert advice, building the perfect FPL team can feel overwhelming. This guide will help you navigate the key decisions and identify potential gems for your squad.
Key New Signings to Watch
The summer transfer window has brought exciting talent to the Premier League, especially in attacking positions. Viktor Gyokeres' move to Arsenal is making headlines, and FPL managers are eager to see if he can live up to the hype. Keep an eye on pre-season performances and team dynamics to make informed choices.
Price Changes: Who's Hot and Who's Not?
Mohamed Salah (£14.5m) has seen a significant price increase, reflecting his consistent performance and status as a top FPL scorer. Is he worth the investment? Fantasy Football Hub’s AI predicts he will continue to deliver, making him a strong captaincy option. Joao Pedro (£7.5m) and Alexander Isak (£10.5m) have also become more expensive, but their predicted points may not justify the cost. Consider their potential game time and competition for places before adding them to your team.
Hidden Gems and Value Picks
Chris Wood (£7.5m) is a player who has risen in price by £1.5 million, following 20 goals last season. His side have great opening fixtures against Brentford, Crystal Palace and West Ham. He can still provide value in this period, predicted to score 20 points.
Expert Tips for FPL Success
- Differentials: Look for low-owned players who could become FPL stars. These hidden gems can give you a significant edge over your rivals.
- Players to Avoid: Don't be tempted by big names if they are unlikely to justify their price tag or playing time.
- Talisman Players: Identify each team's star player. These reliable performers are essential for a strong FPL foundation. Consider Bukayo Saka (£10m) despite some uncertainty around his minutes.
