Who will fall in price in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) this season?

That’s what we’re pondering as we await the game’s relaunch.

From Erling Haaland to Martin Odegaard, we pick out some of the big names with potential cut-price appeal in 2025/26.

We’ll reiterate that these predictions assume that FPL will not make significant alterations to the rules (for example, awarding points to defensive midfielders) or reconsider the positional classifications (such as reclassifying wingers as forwards).

For our thoughts on which players could rise, see the links below.

ERLING HAALAND

FPL notes: Pep on Marmoush's "impact" + Haaland's fitness

  • 24/25 start price: £15.0m
  • 24/25 end price: £14.9m
  • 24/25 points/points per start: 181/5.8

Erling Haaland had a superb start to the 2024/25 season.

In the first five Gameweeks, the Norwegian netted 10 goals, achieved three double-digit hauls and accumulated 63 points.

Like so many of his Manchester City team-mates, however, his level dropped.

In fact, Haaland went on to average just 4.5 points per start from that point onwards (Gameweeks 6 to 38).

Scoring 22 goals in 31 appearances overall is certainly not to be dismissed, but Haaland experienced his worst FPL season to date in 2024/25.

Therefore, a small price drop to £14.0m appears reasonable.

  • 25/26 price prediction: £14.0m

PHIL FODEN

FPL notes: Foden back in form, Wissa’s goals + Jackson wasteful 2

  • 24/25 start price: £9.5m
  • 24/25 end price: £9.1m
  • 24/25 points/points per start: 105/4.7

It was an awful season for Phil Foden.

Up to Gameweek 16, he scored zero goals and provided just one assist in 11 league appearances for Man City, as he struggled with illness and injury.

A brilliant run of six goals in four matches followed in January; however, another injury, this time his ankle, hindered his influence as the season drew to a close.

“It’s been a frustrating season. I’ve had a lot of things going on off the pitch mentally. Sometimes there’s things in life bigger than football. This season I’ve struggled a little bit.” – Phil Foden

Foden will surely come down in price as a result, potentially to £8.5m.

On a brighter note, by the time City exited the FIFA Club World Cup following their loss to Al Hilal, Foden had netted three goals and provided one assist in four matches in the US, even though he only started once.

  • 25/26 price prediction: £8.5m

MARTIN ODEGAARD

­­­FPL Gameweek 12 differentials: Neto, Timber + Odegaard 1

  • 24/25 start price: £8.5m
  • 24/25 end price: £8.2m
  • 24/25 points/points per start: 116/4.1

Martin Odegaard was another player who underwhelmed in 2024/25.

The playmaker picked up an early-season injury, which saw him miss Gameweeks 4 to 10.

He was only able to really improve his stats after surrendering the Premier League title, too, with six offensive contributions in his last six games.

The arrival of Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad should mean Odegaard doesn’t have to drop back quite so often next season, but following a poor 2024/25, there would be no surprise if he drops to £8.0m.

  • 25/26 price prediction: £8.0m

PEDRO PORRO/SON HEUNG-MIN

FPL notes: Porro + Vardy score, Maddison influence, Solanke debut 2

  • 24/25 start price: £5.5m/£10.0m
  • 24/25 end price: £5.2m/£9.7m
  • 24/25 points/points per start: 98/129 | 3.2/4.9

Tottenham Hotspur players were mostly a huge disappointment in FPL 2024/25.

Pedro Porro accumulated more minutes in the Premier League than any other Spurs player, totalling 2,638.

However, due to injuries that disrupted the defensive unit during the winter months, plus the gradual shift of focus towards the UEFA Europa League, he managed to achieve just six clean sheets and an average of 3.2 points per start.

That said, his crossing ability is excellent, and he finished 2024/25 with six assists, so he will likely pick up significant interest at £5.0m, particularly with Thomas Frank at the helm.

Son Heung-min, meanwhile, ended the campaign on just 129 points, marking a significant drop compared to prior years.

At 33, he may no longer be regarded as a week-in, week-out starter, so a drop in price to say, £8.5m, would seem fair.

  • 25/26 price prediction: £5.0m / £8.5m

KIERAN TRIPPIER

FPL Gameweek 30 differentials: Barnes, Trippier + Solanke 3

  • 24/25 start price: £6.0m
  • 24/25 end price: £5.6m
  • 24/25 points/points per start: 72/4.4

Kieran Trippier was in and out of the Newcastle United team in 2024/25.

He started just 14 matches in total, but did average an impressive 4.4 points per start, thanks to three assists, six clean sheets and eight bonus.

Nonetheless, when everyone is fit, Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall are likely ahead in the full-back pecking order, so you’d expect Tripper to be much cheaper this time around.

Livramento has accumulated 480 minutes of football for the England U21s this summer, so Trippier could still start the season; however, Newcastle United’s tough opening fixtures will probably be enough to keep FPL managers away.

  • 25/26 price prediction: £5.0m

OTHERS

FPL notes: Maresca on Gameweek 19 changes, Jackson "tired", Robinson OOP

Other possible fallers include FPL defenders Riccardo Calafiori and Andrew Robertson.

Arsenal didn’t get to see the best of Calafiori last season due to injury. Although there were still signs of his talent, the rise of Myles Lewis Skelly at left-back suggests that a reduction to £5.5m is reasonable.

Robertson, meanwhile, has dominated the left side of Liverpool’s team for many years, but Milos Kerkez is expected to be first choice next season. It would not be surprising if he also drops to £5.5m.

Additionally, a slight decrease for Anthony Gordon may be forthcoming, potentially from £7.5m to £7.0m, as he averaged 4.2 points per start in 2024/25, which is lower than his teammates Harvey Barnes (5.6m) and Jacob Murphy (4.8).

Further forward, Rasmus Hojlund and Nicolas Jackson, both of whom did not meet their expected goals (xG) in 2024/25, are also likely to see a decline.

    Porro and Gordon price drops are laughable. Gordon was troubled with injuries all season and Porro was still a decent pick in a team with no fit centre backs.

  2. sirmorbach

    Porto at 5.0 would probably be my easiest pick ever.

    1. Nomar

      £5m for the whole Porto team is indeed good value!

  3. WVA

    Welbeck essential?

    1. Kvnforthewin
      • 5 Years
      5 months, 2 days ago

      He is actually

  4. Kvnforthewin

    Pickford 4.0
    Williams konsa Pedro porro

    Bowen foden palmer salah(c)

    Watkins welbeck solanke.

    Bench: 4.0 Mitchell soucek.

    What do y'all reckon?

  5. Moon Dog

      With the return of Botman, is it possible that Burn moves back to LB? Or is Hall nailed on now?

      1. HarveyKendallBall

        Hall’s performances last season not only cement him in the Newcastle side they also catapult him onto the international stage with England. Only a fool can’t see he is the best left back in the land. So yes he will be first choice for Newcastle. For England though, it’s anyone’s guess.

        1. Moon Dog

            I am a fool tbf. Newcastle's defence just confuses me with all the injuries and switches to a back 3 etc. I didn't have the headspace to follow football too closely last season, it was a difficult year for me.

            Thanks for the info. I'm keen to start with a few Newcastle players because they were so strong in the last 22 games (Apparently there was a big tactical switch then ???). They got the 2nd most amount of points in that period, and they had an xG per game close to Liverpool's, with decent xGA too. Not a small sample either.

            1. HarveyKendallBall
              • 2 Years

              I do beg your pardon. I didn’t mean to imply you yourself are foolish. I was referring to that German spanner currently coaching our national side.

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

        Still no price reveals... what's going on?

        Wouldn't mind if they released the game with a bang tomorrow

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          5 months, 2 days ago

          Think the Club World Stupid Cup has delayed things a bit here . . . my guess they wanted that out of the way before starting the hype train

          1. Charlie Price
            • 4 Years
            5 months, 2 days ago

            When did Donald Trump sign for Chelsea?

      3. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        5 months, 2 days ago

        Evening folks, do you expect another season of Haaland v no Haaland teams? Which way are you leaning?

        1. Cluckfuster
          • 14 Years
          5 months, 2 days ago

          I think he'll have a price drop to 14.0, which will get a few more interested.

          And he's due a rebound season so I'd guess he'll be 90% owned and £14.5 by Christmas.

        2. Kvnforthewin
          • 5 Years
          5 months, 2 days ago

          I feel like he's not as much as a focal point for this current city team.

          Pep has changed tactics a lot since he signed haaland.

          With the coming of Omar marmoush and the departure of Kevin de bruyne.

          The signing of rayan cherki and hopefully the return of phil foden, the attacking returns of this city team will be more spread out among players.

          He might go on to be a complete must have but I doubt we'll be seeing 20+ points over and over again like the other season.

          1. Kvnforthewin
            • 5 Years
            5 months, 2 days ago

            But he may actually be a better pick than salah.
            As it will be incredible if salah achieve the heights he did last season

        3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          5 months, 2 days ago

          No Haaland

        4. Moon Dog
            5 months, 2 days ago

            If he's anywhere near 14.0 I'm not even thinking about it, just horrible value compared to someone like Isak who may well outscore him again. For me he'd have to be around 12.5 to consider, but that's unlikely. I don't trust City completely atm either.

            I'll probably just captain Salah every game.

          • Bushwhacker
            • 6 Years
            5 months, 2 days ago

            I think there's going to be way better options this year. Really depends how City set up in friendlies.

          • LarryDuff
            • 10 Years
            5 months, 2 days ago

            With Palmer, Saka, Salah, Gyokeres, Wirtz there should be a lot more variance than Haaland or no Haaland

          • White Pony
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 months, 2 days ago

            I’ll most likely start with Haaland and then downgrade if it fails, rather than scrambling to afford if he hits the ground running. Always been my thinking on most expensive attacker.

            Maybe I should review that strategy though given I’ve been dreadful at FPL since 2021/22.

        5. LarryDuff
          • 10 Years
          5 months, 2 days ago

          Porro at 5 would make him glued into the template

          1. CarsonYeung
            • 13 Years
            5 months, 2 days ago

            Agreed, 2 goals 6 assists (real assists, perhaps more in FPL) in 33 games isn't worthy of a price drop, 5.5 more than fair

          2. FPL Scoop
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            Definitely - especially in an improved/improving Spurs team under a better manager
