Overview
- The Fantasy Premier League platform is live for sign-ups with a £100 million budget to pick a 15-player squad and unlimited transfers available before the opening gameweek deadline.
- Top starting prices include Erling Haaland at £15.5m, Bruno Fernandes at £12.0m and Arsenal defender Gabriel at £8.0m, forcing managers to weigh premium forwards against midfield and defensive value.
- New tools aim to help selection and in-game decisions, including a starter-team builder, live mini-league tables that show provisional bonus points from the 20th minute, and a five-tier price-change predictor for next-day moves.
- Bonus-point (BPS) rules have been adjusted: tackles no longer penalise, clearances/blocks/interceptions now need three actions for one BPS point, and goalkeeper save scoring is standardised, all of which shift scoring upside away from some defenders and toward other attacking players.
- Managers keep four chips usable twice across the season and 11 players have position changes this year, creating fresh tactical trade-offs for early transfers, captain choices and chip timing.
