FPL 2024/25 lessons: Why was there a drop in penalties?

27 May 2025 25 comments

FPL Marc

Now that the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) 2024/25 season has ended, it’s time for managers to reflect on the previous nine months and learn lessons for next time. Some may even choose to relax.

READ MORE: The 2024/25 alternative FPL end-of-season awards
READ MORE: FPL Team of the Season – The final run-off vote

In this series of articles, we will explore some of the last campaign’s most interesting trends and data. For example, why did the awarding of top-flight penalties drop by 22.4% compared to 2023/24?

HOW MANY?

This place is dead, can we do some rate my teams?

Pickford top scoring keeper AGAIN

Despite all the love for attacking fullbacks the centre backs seem to have outscored them.

Looks like Salah perma captain again.

Pickford
Gvardiol VVD Gabriel
Salah Bowen Eze Rogers

Great team, but as they all had strong seasons, even fairly modest price rises may well have them costing around 85m, so under 4m left for your fodder!
