FPL Player Price Announced: Which Players Got What Price?

The 2025/26 Premier League season is less than a month away, and there has been a buzz among Fantasy Premier League managers regarding the dynamics of the next season. As is well known, there have been some changes for the upcoming season. Outfield players will now be rewarded for their defensive contributions with fantasy points.

For midfielders and forwards, in addition to their clearances, blocks, interceptions, and tackles, their “ball recoveries” will also count towards their total of defensive contributions. Throughout the campaign, you will have eight FPL chips total, two for each of the following: Bench Boost, Free Hit, Triple Captain, and Wildcard. This season, there won't be an assistant manager chip.

FPL Player Price Revealed for Season 2025/26

FPL has revealed the prices of just four players, keeping the fans guessing for the rest of the players. Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Jordan Pickford are the players whose FPL prices were revealed on Sunday, 20th July.

Alexander Isak | FWD | £10.5m

Alexander Isak's incredible 2024–25 season, in which he led the forward charts with 211 points and recorded 23 goals and six assists, is reflected in his £2 million price hike. Being Newcastle's primary goal scorer and attacking focal point makes him a premium pick.

Although his first two games are difficult contests against Aston Villa and Liverpool, he has the opportunity to be captain in the games against Leeds and Wolves. He is still a trustworthy talisman if he stays at Newcastle despite transfer rumours. Managers must, however, compare their cost to that of other top forwards and keep an eye out for any last-minute movements that can affect their playing time.

Rayan Ait-Nouri | DEF | £6.0m

Rayan Ait-Nouri's transfer to Manchester City increases his chances of winning the Premier League substantially. With four goals, seven assists, and 125 points after a stellar season at Wolves, he is valued at £6.0 million. Pep Guardiola's style benefits from his offensive flair and adaptability, but rotation risk is a serious concern.

He might compete with elite defenders for value if he can secure the left-back position. City is an alluring differential due to his defensive prowess and bonus point appeal. Before committing, preseason minutes and tactical deployment will be important metrics.

Jordan Pickford | GK | £5.5m

With 158 points and 12 clean sheets, Jordan Pickford maintains his position as the FPL's top scorer for a second consecutive season. Everton's defensive consistency under David Moyes, who helped the Toffees give up the fewest significant opportunities in the league since his arrival, justifies his price increase.

Pickford is a solid set-and-forget choice because of his advantageous early schedule, which includes Leeds, Brighton, Wolves, and Aston Villa. Although £5.5 million is a lot of money for a goalie, managers looking for stability between the posts may find him appealing due to his consistency and possibility for extra points.

Florian Wirtz | MID| £8.5m

Liverpool's big-name acquisition comes with a solid reputation and a reasonable FPL price tag. Wirtz showed exceptional inventiveness and poise last season in the Bundesliga, with 10 goals and 12 assists. If he rapidly gets used to Arne Slot's style, he may be a midfield gem for £8.5 million.

He may even take set pieces because of his ability to connect play and work between the lines, which fits Liverpool's aggressive approach. Wirtz could gain from less defensive focus now that Salah is still involved. Whether he is a must-have or a wait-and-see will depend on early schedules and preseason performance.
