Fantasy Premier League has officially relaunched for the 2026/27 season, with player prices now live and unlimited transfers available until the Gameweek 1 deadline — 90 minutes before Arsenal host Coventry City on Friday, August 21 (8pm).
Bukayo Saka is Arsenal's highest-priced asset at £9.5m, while Gabriel enters the new campaign at £8.0m following a 209-point haul in 2025/26 — the third-highest starting price for a defender in FPL history. Jurrien Timber is priced at £6.5m despite missing a significant portion of last season through injury.
Declan Rice comes in at £7.5m in midfield, with Mikel Merino listed at £6.0m following his return from injury and World Cup involvement. Martin Zubimendi is available at £5.5m despite recording 133 FPL points in his debut Premier League campaign.
Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres are both priced at £7.5m as forward-eligible options, while Martin Odegaard, Ebere Eze, Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke are each listed at £6.5m as midfielders. David Raya, who won a second successive Golden Glove, has a starting price of £6.0m, with new signing Illan Meslier listed at £5.0m.
Erling Haaland carries the highest price tag in the game at £15.5m — a record — after finishing as the top points scorer in 2025/26 with 239. Bruno Fernandes rose £3.0m to £12.0m, a joint-highest increase, after recording 235 points as the league's leading assist-maker.
Myles Lewis-Skelly (£5.5m) is among 11 players whose positional classifications have been changed for the new season, switching from defence to midfield following a strong finish to last season in a central role.
The 2026/27 edition retains four chips — Wildcard, Free Hit, Triple Captain and Bench Boost — each available twice per manager, with one set usable before Gameweek 19 and the second in the second half of the season. The defensive contribution bonus system has been updated, and a new Price Change Predictor tool has been introduced to help managers track market movements.
With no Africa Cup of Nations scheduled mid-season, there will be no additional free transfer allocation equivalent to the five free switches distributed in Gameweek 16 last season.
