Pre-Season

Every FPL player price revealed as 2018/19 game launches

Fantasy Premier League appears to have opened for 2018/19 and you can now pick your first team for the season. Over 4,000 managers have already signed up hoping to grab a low ID.

The player list published earlier today, that was later removed, appears to have been accurate, so we now know exactly how much each asset costs.

FPL revealed several player prices and positions yesterday with Sergio Aguero (£11.0m), Roberto Firmino (£9.5m), Romelu Lukaku (£11.0m), Eden Hazard (£10.5m), Granit Xhaka (£5.5m), Ruben Neves (£5.0m) and Sean Morrison (£5.0m) all announced.

Meanwhile, Fulham attacking wing-back Ryan Sessegnon was announced as a £6.5m midfielder.

This afternoon it was also revealed that Mohamed Salah would remain a midfielder but he will now cost Fantasy managers a hefty £13.0m to have in their squads. Now that the player list is public, we can confirm that the Egyptian is the most expensive player in the game.

Harry Kane, who scored 30 goals last term and currently leads the way in the World Cup Golden Boot race, is not far behind Liverpool’s superstar, his starting price of £12.5m exactly the same as it was in 2017/18.

After a break-out season for Manchester City, Raheem Sterling has seen his price increase from £8.0m to £11.0m. That makes him the most expensive City midfielder with Kevin De Bruyne coming in at £10.0m and Leroy Sane at £9.5m. In fact, only Salah has a higher price in midfield with Hazard and Alexis Sanchez (both £10.5m) just below him. Sterling also matches Aguero’s price-tag and is £0.5m more than Gabriel Jesus (£10.5m).

In defence the dearest options are Marcos Alonso, Cesar Azpilicueta, Kyle Walker, Nicolas Otamendi and Antonio Valencia who have all been handed a £6.5m price-tag. Of interest will be the fact that both Chelsea and Man City can offer starting centre-backs still priced at £5.5m.

David De Gea starts as the most expensive goalkeeper matching his World Cup Fantasy price of £6.0m. Just below him are Ederson, Thibaut Courtois and Hugo Lloris at £5.5m while there will be delight at the fact that Lukasz Fabianski is £4.5m.

The most notable positional switches see Marko Arnautovic and Wilfried Zaha moved from midfielders to forwards, with both players priced up at £7.0m. Moving backwards is Ashley Young who has been classified as a £6.0m defender, Fabian Delph making the same move for £5.5m. Meanwhile, James Milner has returned to the midfield and has been handed a starting price fo £5.5m.

There are several players whose impressive performances in 2017/18 have earned them price rises, although none of them as big as Salah’s. Crystal Palace’s designated penalty taker Luka Milivojevic is now £6.5m while goal-scoring defender Patrick van Aanholt is £5.5m. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, now back at Chelsea is the same price as his Dutch former colleague.

Andy Robertson has shot up to £6.0m after doing well since January, matching defensive colleague Virgil van Dijk for price. Also at Liverpool, new signings Naby Keita and Fabinho have come in at £7.5m and £6.0m respectively.

Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez are both now £9.0m, although they are not expected to share a partnership again with the Algerian set for a move to Manchester City. At Brighton, Pascal Gross is now £7.0m.

Burnley’s 12 clean sheets in 2017/18 has earned all of their defenders a £0.5m price rise. Matt Lowton, Ben Mee, James Tarkowski and Stephen Ward all come in at £5.0m while the rest are now £4.5m.

The same treatment has been given to the Spurs defence, who combined for 25 goal involvements in 2017/18. Toby Alderweireld, Serge Aurier, Ben Davies, Danny Rose, Davinson Sanchez, Jan Vertonghen and Kieran Trippier are all £6.0m with Kyle Walker-Peters at £4.5m. In midfield, Christian Eriksen stays at £9.5m but Dele Alli drops back down to £9.0m.

2017/18’s underperformers have understandably experienced price drops although there are some potential bargains as a result. Henrikh Mkhitaryan can be picked up for £7.0m while Theo Walcott is available at £6.5m. Elsewhere, Alvaro Morata costs £9.0m, Christian Benteke is £6.5m and Jason Puncheon is now a budget midfielder at £4.5m.

Also of interest, Leighton Baines (£5.5m), Seamus Coleman (£5.5m) and Michael Keane (£5.0m) are the only Everton defenders above £4.5m. One of Phil Jagielka, Ashley Williams or Cuco Martina is likely to start at centre-back alongside Keane at a budget price.

    Bottomed...

    This will obviously wait until the lineups are announced, but:

    Muslera, Olsen
    Munier, Carvajal*, Miranda, Trippier, Hernandez
    Coutinho, Modric, Isco*, Lingard, Inui*
    Hazard, Costa*, Mbappe

    Carvajal, Isco and Costa ->

    A) Pavard, Paulinho/Willian (which?) and Griezmann
    B) Maguire, Fernandinho and Kane
    C) Other

    1. Differential C (Mark)

      Fernandinho will have to be transferred out next round, probably not worth it

    The Mkhitaryan price must be the most obviously wrong FPL price I've seen in a while.

    1. Rainer

      He might even be 6.9m come GW3.

      I'll evaluate him GW3. Price won't rise given his opening fixtures.

        I think they will be defective picks before the early int break, anyway!

    Bit of a weird one - my FPL team is currently under someone else's (Indian?) name, and my country set to India. I've refreshed a few times, is this just a glitch?

          Not in with that crowd 🙁

  6. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Gunnarsson of Cardiff the best 4.5?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      That's who I've gone for.

  7. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Wilson should start for Bournemouth, right?

    Also, with Rooney gone, Baines should be back on penalties, right?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Wi 😆 son, I know he's due but I'd look elsewhere.

      Tosun and Siggy don't help Baines' appeal, unless Silva lets know.

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Baines took a couple last season while Siggy was on the pitch. Don't think they won one with Tosun around.

        BTW, if not Wilson, who is the budget forward we looking at?

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Not looked too much but I'd be probably stretching to Arnie/Zaha.

  8. Jafooli

    Bit of a coincidence that FFS released their FPL 18/19 Pre-season page the same day as FPL goes live, no?

    😉

    Someone knew....

      Call Mulder and Scully

    3. Rainer

      You missed the drama earlier 😮

      Prices released, links deleted, articles deleted, price re-released with changes... Lukaku assist!

    4. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      What are you implying.

  9. Jsadler95
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Well draft done for now, will have another look once I see some other ideas.

    Fabianski Begovic
    Mendy Trent AA Daniels Bednarek Wan-Bissaka
    Hazard Salah Jota Deulofeu Masuaka
    Aguero Firmino Zaha

    Likely a Hazard to De Bruyne transfer after GW1 and may take Aguero out for Aubameyang at some point depending on what goes on with Jesus. What do you guys think?

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Very similar to my first draft, exc couple of mids.

      • Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        3 prob non-starters is too risky imo

        1. Jsadler95
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Who are non-starters? Bednarek played the last few games of last season and if Hughes sticks with 3 at the back he'll likely play. Masuaka played most of last season, I'll keep an eye on pre season to see what formation Pellegrini goes with. Wan-Bissaka I honestly think will displace Ward because he was fantastic in basically every game he played last season and he's just been tied to a new contract. All have a very good chance to be starters imo but I'll of course work out that for definite over pre season when I see team sheets for friendlies etc.

          1. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Mendy. They have Otamendi, Stones, Danilo, Walker, Kompany... how can Mendy be nailed?

            1. Sgt Frank Drebin
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Mendy on the left and Walker on the right? Weren't they playing like this before Mendy was injured?

    2. DJDave1979
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I'm feeling that they have priced Sterling out of the game. Rotation risk to be put at that price is mental.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        True for all City assets bar Ederson. Worse if Mahrez joins.

    3. Donny_Rover
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      First stab at a team (FPL) without giving it too much thought, think it looks pretty decent so far - thoughts?

      Fabianski - Begovic
      PvA - Mendy - Robertson - Zanka - Bednarek
      Salah - Sane - Mkhi - Chalobah - Maitland-Niles
      Firmino - Vardy - Arnie

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I'd want to be sure one of Chalo and A-M get game-time.

        No Kane love today? Never scores in August, eh?

    5. CaTriEm
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Schelotto - Bednarek - Wan Bissaka

      Which of these 4.0 defenders are nailed?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        None, that's why they're 4.0

        But I'm going Schelotto anyway!

        1. CaTriEm
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Aye, should have used a better term. Thinking Bednarek myself.

    6. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      First draft

      Fabianski - McCarthy
      Alonso - Mendy - TAA - Daniels - Bendarek
      Mane - D.Silva - Mkhi - Walcott - Masuaku
      Kane - Firmino - Arnie

    7. DJDave1979
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      First thing I've noticed is that the teams with Salah look to be filled with fodder.

      My first draft with no rotation or fixture checks.

      Fab Lossl
      Schelotto Monreal Daniels Robbo Cedric
      Sanchez Eriksen Mikhitaryan Milivoljevic Ince
      Aubameyang Aguero Wilson

      I want Haz or Kev but will stick to World Cup avoidance plan for now.

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        You confident with the Wilson pick?

        1. DJDave1979
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I'd expect that one to go. It is only my third draft of a first draft

          5 years, 9 months ago

          Good in terms of BPS if he wasn’t such a card magnet. If he can replicate his Bundesliga form he might justify his price but I would prefer Ramsey or Mkhi.

            Any reason not to get Tomkins at 4.5?

            He's a goal threat (scored 3 last season), did pretty decent in terms of BP given his price (9 bonus pts) and kept 9 clean sheets, which is 1 less than Robertson kept last season.

            Decent fixtures too, given that you have someone to rotate him with in some of them: ful LIV wat SOU hud NEW bou WOL

                  Hasn't Leighton Baines gone to play in USA? Sure I read that somewhere?

                      Rooney, not Baines

                        Yep, maybe I read Leighton Baines was being tapped up to hop over the big pond.. He could easily earn a fortune there so now I favour Coleman
