Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) third and final announcement on Friday was a bit more low-key than the first two.
Earlier in the day, FPL revealed that defensive contribution points were coming. Managers are also set to get two lots of chips in 2025/26.
This one was a little less dramatic: two new leagues for those who finished in the top 1% and top 10% of overall managers in 2024/25.
WHO QUALIFIES?
Managers who finished in the top 114,319 places last season have qualified for the Top 1% 24/25 League.
Managers who finished in the top 1,143,193 places last season have qualified for the Top 10% 24/25 League.
CAN YOU QUALIFY FOR NEXT SEASON’S LEAGUES?
FPL say that you can qualify for these same leagues in 2026/27 based on your finish in the upcoming campaign.
PRIZES
It’s not just for ‘fun’ either.
There are prizes for winning each of the leagues, including Puma merchandise, a replica shirt, the EA SPORTS FC game and an FPL bundle. An “exclusive FPL certificate” is also promised…
Let’s see if Saturday brings us any closer to the launch of FPL 2025/26, be it through more rule changes or the long-awaited price reveals.
That means checking every team in the league on a weekly basis.
»Been AFK - come back and there are all these new changes! Brain explosion catching up
»...and there is this: "The extra transfers for AFCON can help you navigate the period up until the second Wildcard becomes available in Gameweek 20, which then allows you the opportunity to bring back the likes of Salah and Mbeumo when AFCON ends."
»"Strategically, in order to fully profit from the extra free transfers, managers would be wise to ensure they have ZERO free transfers in the bank by the end of Gameweek 15." They would only advise this if the new FTs carry over.
»...and if anyone uses them you kick them out of your classic style league - just like TM eliminates players from LMS.
