With the new Defensive Contribution (DC) points, extra assist points and bonus points tweaks, you may be wondering how this would have affected the overall Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points totals in 2024/25.
Wonder no more! The talent that is TopMarx (give that man a pay rise) has done all the legwork.
He’s recalculated the FPL points scores of every single player who featured in the Premier League last season, from the mightiest Mohamed Salah (£14.5m) to the lowliest Ben Godfrey.
Not only that, this new interactive points table gives you a breakdown of:
- Defensive contribution (DC) points
- Old/new bonus points totals
- Old/new overall FPL points totals*
- The +/- difference in points
- Each player’s new price for 2025/26
- The value (points per million/ppm) based on those new prices
*Additional assists – there would have been 41 in all – are factored into these new overall points totals.
Members of Fantasy Football Scout can see the revised totals of every single player via the link below – but we’ll do a bit of a preview in this article too.
REVISED: TOP 10 FPL POINTS SCORERS
Here’s how the recalculated overall top 10 looks…
Bruno Fernandes (£9.0m) is the biggest beneficiary here, despite losing out slightly in the bonus stakes. It’s his defensive contributions (DC) that really stand out: he’d have gained 22 points from these in 2024/25.
He’s the only new entry into the top 10 compared to last season’s original points tallies. Erling Haaland (£14.0m) is the man to drop out.
No one in the game, not just the top 10 but also overall, would have been worse off than Chris Wood (£7.5m) and Ollie Watkins (£9.0m) under the new rules. Still, -6 points is a relatively insignificant drop and they remain in the top 10.
TOP FIVE DEFENDERS
Lurking just outside the top 10 overall is Nikola Milenkovic (£5.5m). He’d have benefitted from a whopping 34 extra points last season, mostly through DC.
He would have finished as the top-scoring defender, with Murillo (£5.5m) in second. Murillo outdid his centre-half partner in terms of defensive contributions.
Milenkovic would also have scored more points than Haaland (179 v 178) under the new scoring system!
TOP 10 BIGGEST RISERS
In terms of who benefitted most from the changes last season, Milenkovic is again just outside the top 10.
James Tarkowski (£5.5m) is the DC poster boy. In fact, he would have risen from joint-26th in the defenders’ points table to eighth.
Moises Caicedo (£5.5m), meanwhile, would have risen from 58th in the midfielders’ standings to 28th.
