Fantasy Premier League (FPL) fever is gripping South Africa as the 2025/26 season approaches! Get ready for some major changes and price adjustments that will shake up your team selections.
Salah's Sky-High Price Tag
Mohamed Salah is set to become the most expensive midfielder in FPL history, commanding a staggering £14.5m! This record-breaking price reflects his phenomenal 2024/25 season, where he amassed a whopping 344 points, leaving his rivals in the dust. His consistency as a captain choice was unmatched, delivering a massive 18 double-figure returns.
Haaland's Price Drop
Erling Haaland, on the other hand, sees his price drop from a record £15.0m to £14.0m. While he still managed a respectable 22 goals and 3 assists, his 2024/25 campaign didn't quite live up to the hype. However, his underlying stats still highlight his immense goal threat, with 98 shots in the box and 40 big chances.
New Rules for 2025/26
But that's not all! FPL 2025/26 introduces exciting new rules that will add another layer of strategy to the game:
- Double the Chips: You now get two uses of each chip – Bench Boost, Free Hit, Triple Captain, and Wildcard – one in each half of the season!
- Defensive Bonus Points: Outfield players (defenders, midfielders, and forwards) will earn bonus points based on defensive actions like clearances, blocks, interceptions, and tackles. Every 10 defensive actions earn two bonus points.
Other Key Price Reveals
Florian Wirtz, Salah's new teammate, comes in at a tempting £8.5m, a significant £6.0m cheaper than the Egyptian. Alexander Isak of Newcastle United is priced at £10.5m after a stellar season.
