We’ve already looked at how different last season’s points totals would’ve been had 2025/26’s new defensive contribution (DC) points, assist rules and bonus point tweaks been around.

Following on from this, we’ve made further adjustments to the 11 players who’ve had their Fantasy Premier League (FPL) position changed.

This is all thanks to the remarkable talent and work rate of TopMarx – much appreciated, as always!

Members of Fantasy Football Scout can see the revised totals of every single Premier League player via the link below – but we’ll do a bit of a preview in this article too.

REVISED POINTS: THE 11 THAT CHANGED POSITION

    Gyokeres price prediction?

    Hoping he comes in the same as Havertz

    1. Winston.

      9.5

      10 - 10.5

    Anderson+Ndiaye and BB gw1?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      In a heartbeat!

    2. Stimps
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Why Anderson?

  3. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    Your view?
    A. Palmer + Sarr
    B. Wirtz + Cunha + 1.0 to upgrade elsewhere…

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      I’d want to see where Cunha plays first.

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        Probably two central midfielders, double pivot… So Cunha and Mbeumo behind Sesko?

          You spelt Zirkee wrong 😆

            • 12 Years
            11 months, 24 days ago

            Haha… maybe I forget Cunha as an option then. Too risky, in that mess…

              My thoughts too tbh 😉

              😆

    2. The Tonberry
      • 2 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Spurs Sarr or Palace Sarr?

      Either way I'd want Palmer over Wirtz and Cunha so would go with A

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        Palace

  4. Wolverine

    RMT

    Kelleher (Dubravka)
    Tarkowski Murillo Munoz (De Cuyper, Esteve)
    Wirtz Saka Palmer Marmoush Mbeumo
    Wissa Watkins (Obi)

    1. The Knights Template

      5-6

      1. Wolverine

        Thanks

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          11 months, 24 days ago

          Is Dubravka nailed? Mbeumo’s avenues to points will be fewer than at Brentford. I don’t know who Obi is, is he nailed?

          1. Wolverine
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 months, 24 days ago

            Dubravka and Obi will be for the bench. Agree with Mbeumo points reducing down but I would like to punt on one of him/Cunha. Take away 40 odd points from Mbeumo for his pens, he could get 200 points still with arguably some better players around him like Cunha and Bruno. I think a lot depends on which striker is signed but I can see Mbeumo having a stellar season still

            Ok thanks for checking, mine still not working.
            Will check again later
            Cheers

              11 months, 24 days ago

              I'm no tech expert all I can suggest is powering it off and on again as that fixed an issue I was having making calls yesterday.

              Let us know if you're still having problems later on...

  6. LangerznMash
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    Anyone playing 5 at the back this season?
    I think there is a strong case for it.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Absolutely not

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Been there, done that, and won't be doing it again as on BB GW1 strat...

      1. LangerznMash
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        I'm on BB GW1 and think it plays into a strong back 5.
        Main downside is having a fair bit of budget on the bench for the next 2-3 GWs until you can use FTs to redistribute.

    3. But to who Chris Kamara
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Yes

    4. JBG
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      If only we could play 1 atb

  7. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    Why are Anderson and Ndiaye so popular?

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Cheap enablers that will play (one is on pens) and might be good for DCs...

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Due to new rules and maybe fixtures…

  8. adstomko
    • 10 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    Thoughts on playing BB GW1 without a starting goalkeeper?

    Current bench is: Kinsky, Konsa, Rodon, Le Fée

    1. Moxon
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      I would hold on

    2. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Why not BB in GW2 if you're going that cheap? Sunderland are playing Burnley at home, which is probably their best fixture all season.

      1. mookie
        • 12 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        *GW2 BUR-SUN, not SUN-BUR

        1. adstomko
          • 10 Years
          11 months, 24 days ago

          Mainly because Rodon will play Arsenal in GW2

          1. mookie
            • 12 Years
            11 months, 24 days ago

            You could get Esteve(4m) from BUR, or a 4m SUN defender instead of him.

  9. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    Beto - overlooked in many drafts Ive seen. Do people think he might not start now or just a lack of faith in Evertons attack?

    1. Mother Farke
      • 2 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Just been given the #9 shirt. If you're a purist, that usually means you're a starter

      Moreover, Barry has played out wide before at Basel.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Not nailed with the new striker

      McNeil is overlooked, compared to Ndiaye

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        Agreed on McNeil

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      He's not nailed

  10. Ser Davos
    • 11 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    is Bijol nailed from GW2?

  11. LangerznMash
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    Enzo Le Fée could be an underpriced enabler at £5.0m.
    1 goal and 3 assists in 14 starts for Sunderland since joining from Roma = 0.28 attack returns per 90.
    He takes set pieces and could also do well from DEFCON points if he reverts to his deeper midfield role.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      DEFCON... Ha!

    2. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      I like Christie from the 5m mids. 29 games/27 starts = 2G+3A+14CBIRT+8CS. Would've gotten CBIRT points every other game last season. Also has some set pieces and plays for a better team.

  12. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    Quickfire questions

    1) Welbeck or Bowen? Welbeck nailed now without J Pedro, better team and cheaper
    2) No rotation risk worries with Wirtz?
    3) Kluivert, Kudud or Ndiaye?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Welbz
      No
      Kluivert but would you consider Semenyo / Rogers ?

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        I would but I've already got Watkins so think I prefer Kluivert to Rogers

  13. LangerznMash
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    Back heavy BB GW1 WC GW2 squad...
    Sanchez - Verbruggen
    VVD - Konate - Gvadiol - Ruben Dias - Milenkovic
    Palmer(v) - Wirtz - James - Anderson - Le Fée
    Haaland(c) - Solanke - Piroe

    All home fixtures again 'non-elite' teams, except triple City against Wolves.

    Disgusting.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      My eyes hurt

  14. MGMT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    How does this look?

    Verbruggen (4m)

    Murillo - Neco Williams - Senesi (Esteve, Rodon)

    Palmer - Bruno - Wirtz - Anderson (4.5M)

    Haaland - Solanke - Watkins

    0.5 itb

    1. MGMT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      0itb sorry

  15. Joyce1998
    • 10 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    A- Sanchez + Gabriel
    or
    B- Sels + Cucurella

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      B

    2. MGMT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      B

    3. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      A.

    4. Unliklinho
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      B

  16. Ser Davos
    • 11 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    How has the bonus been tweaked this season? Defenders hardly got any last year whilst mids/fwds hoovered it up whenever they scored in particular

    This DC seems to try to re-balance that to some extent it seems

  17. Grinning Soul
    • 3 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    Any thoughts? Sacrifices in defence for a decent Haaland-Salah-Palmer squad

    Kelleher
    Udogie Konsa Colwill AWB
    Salah I. Sarr Palmer Elanga
    JSL Haaland

    Valdimarsson Caicedo Esteve Obi

    1. Unliklinho
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Too many sacrifices imo. I prefer Saka to Palmer early doors, and I want to see City play first.

  18. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    Isn't Konate an obvious pick? He's only 5.5

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      He will probably move though

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        Move where?

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          11 months, 24 days ago

          Real apparently

        2. Funkyav
          • 17 Years
          11 months, 24 days ago

          last i heard was LFC had offered him a new contract and he was deciding whether to sign or see out his final 12 months then leave on a free

      2. Joyce1998
        • 10 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        Contract re-newal inbound I think

  19. Unliklinho
    • 12 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    Any thoughts on my 'unsexy' draft?
    My logic is to go for established players in their respective teams and target early fixtures:

    Kell

    Cucu | Nunes | Aina
    Salah(C) | Saka | Son | Bernardo
    Watkins | Wood | Mayenda

    Vald | Ramsey | Reinildo | Tuanzebe

    Many of my picks can be thought of as price point slots - like 10m mid, 8.5m mid etc so as to be easily interchangeable later.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Son is on his way to the MLS

      1. Unliklinho
        • 12 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        Okay, a new 8.5m needed then, cheers

      2. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
        • 1 Year
        11 months, 24 days ago

        Congratulations to your son

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Your logic makes sense. The only issue I would have is Son as he doesnt look the same player and is over priced ( in my opinion).

    3. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      I don't like Nunes and Bernardo as well as as Son.
      Also whilst I get you want money in the 11 not the bench, I think you have gone too cheap, I'd want at least a 4.5 mil defender on the bench as backup or a rotation option

  20. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    Which of Ekitike or Gyokeres would be better from the start?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Gyokeres if you have Salah

    2. Funkyav
      • 17 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      whichever one gets a good pre season with their club

    3. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Neither, you can easily hop on if they look promising.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        I'm going to fill my team with all the new shiny toys and then WC early when it goes all tits up

    4. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Watkins secures that price point, is a known quantity and has decent fixtures, then you can watch what these shiny new things actually achieve

  21. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    11 months, 24 days ago

    Why would you not play BB on first gameweek?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Bench could be insanely strong when Salah is at AFCON

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        Wouldn't that be too late for 1st BB?

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          11 months, 24 days ago

          I presume we lose it after Christmas? Afcon is in December

          1. Men in green tights
            • 7 Years
            11 months, 24 days ago

            Up to gwk19 deadline

          2. Bobby Digital
            • 8 Years
            11 months, 24 days ago

            "the tournament will be played between 21 December 2025 and 18 January 2026"

            So you'll get two GWs to use the 1st BB

            1. mookie
              • 12 Years
              11 months, 24 days ago

              16, 17, 18 and 19

      2. Kingy109
        • 4 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        Haaland says hi

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          11 months, 24 days ago

          Yeah his fixtures around them are insane!

    2. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      First thing that comes to mind is the 5FTs in GW15 to spend the Salah money, some of it on better bench players. Better data and better overall picture of everything.

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        Very difficult to get 5 FT...risky. surely can't be better than when having a WC

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          11 months, 24 days ago

          We’re being given 5 free transfers for AFCON

        2. mookie
          • 12 Years
          11 months, 24 days ago

          In GW 16 everyone will have 5 FTs regardless of how many they saved. First chips can be played until GW19 deadline.

          1. Babit1967
            • 10 Years
            11 months, 24 days ago

            Does that mean if for example you have saved 3 then you’ll have 8fts?

            1. Funkyav
              • 17 Years
              11 months, 24 days ago

              no, 5 is the max

      Cunha

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        For the extra red cards?

        1. Bobby Digital

          For all the extra screamers he will score 😛

      Too soon to say. Neither.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        Both are proven prem players so not as risky as Wirtz Ekitike Gyok etc

          I'd rather "risk" a Wirtz over any Man Utd player tbh...

          Doesn't necessarily mean much. They were talismen in their old clubs and now gonna play for rubbish United.

    Gyokeres to wear the No. 14 shirt at Arsenal. That alone has got to bump his FPL price up a extra million I reckon.

      yeah big shoes to fill in Nketiah

      Haha yeah like Theo Walcott!!!!!

    So position change has not really affected Bowen at all XD he's locked in my team. Ndiaye looks like a good buy too.

    AWB, konsa or guehi as set and forget?

    Or another 4.5?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Konsa, but Guehi if he gets the move to Pool

    If you WC or FH GW16, do you forfeit the 5 AFCON FT top up to 5, or do you get them at the start of GW17?

    1. Timanfaya
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      I assume you just carry them over like other saved transfers.

  28. Zimo

    I'm getting a strong sense I might not get Isak even if he joins Pool unless I remove Wirtz for him because I want to keep Salah for captaincy.

    But then why would I since he is 2m more and strikers score less overall when I wont captain him due to rotation risk. And I can't really find the 2m to do it either. Salah keeps pens too.

    Is anyone else feeling like that? I hope he doesn't sign cuz I will have FOMO every week lol.

    Newcastle very keen on Sesko, should Isak leave:

    Isak & Kudus

    or

    Evanilson & Saka

    Do think they've done a good job on pricing this year no structure seems blindingly obvious

    1. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      11 months, 24 days ago

      Welbeck and Palmer??

      1. Malcolm Tucker
        • 4 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        Got them both in already, Welbs could be a star this year

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Evanilson & Saka imo...

      1. Malcolm Tucker
        • 4 Years
        11 months, 24 days ago

        It's the way I'm leaning, when in doubt go for the premium with more avenues of scoring points!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          11 months, 24 days ago

          Saka makes a great GW2 Captain too imo...

          1. Malcolm Tucker
            • 4 Years
            11 months, 24 days ago

            Certainly an option, Palmer at West Ham on my radar for that (he's in the team already) - Don't know the stats so this could be entirely in my imagination but feel like the Chelsea West Ham games always serve up some goals

            and though of course the Gooners will be favourites against Leeds Leeds Leeds, I think Yorkshire boys will give a good account of themselves this season

              No Salah and no Haaland has allowed me to have both Palmer and Saka (BBing GW1)

                • 4 Years
                11 months, 24 days ago

                I've gone heavy in the middle (Salah / Palmer / Saka / Wirtz) no BB for me though, I like to take a look see for a few weeks at the start
