After the bombardment of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) rule changes in recent days, it’s now time for the really exciting stuff: price reveals.

Our first batch came on Sunday – one for each of the game’s four positions.

In a sign of these times, it’s was all done through WhatsApp. Followers of the FPL WhatsApp channel were asked to vote on whose price they’d like to see next.

We’ll bring you more prices if they arrive.


4:30pm – FLORIAN WIRTZ

FPL 2025/26: Sunday's live price reveals: Isak, Pickford + Ait-Nouri

Sunday’s fourth – and possibly final – reveal says that beginning with Floran Wirtz will cost £8.5m.

There’s excitement over the German attacking midfielder, who Liverpool shelled out a British transfer record £116m fee to secure.

Wirtz won the Players’ Player of the Season award for the last two Bundesliga campaigns, where both occasions brought double-digit goal and assist tallies. And he started no more than 26 times in either.

It remains to be seen exactly where Arne Slot will deploy him, as Xabi Alonso used a 3-4-2-1 system. But the 22-year-old is a cheaper alternative to Mohamed Salah, albeit one without penalties.


3:00pm – RAYAN AIT-NOURI

FPL 2025/26: Sunday's live price reveals: Isak + Pickford

When the best defender for attacking returns (11) moves to an elite team that kept six clean sheets in their final nine matches, the question isn’t if he’ll rise but by how much?

Therefore, Rayan Ait-Nouri increases from £4.5m to £6.0m, after joining Manchester City from Wolverhampton Wanderers for a cut-price real-life £31m.

He’ll have plenty of early appeal, having ended third in his position for shots inside the box (31) and fourth for chances created (46).

But is he nailed for starts when Josko Gvardiol also excelled at left-back?


1:30pm – JORDAN PICKFORD

FPL 2025/26: Sunday's live price reveals: First up, Isak

Being the top-scoring goalkeeper for 2023/24 and 2024/25 explains Jordan Pickford’s increased starting price of £5.5m.

Also the best for expected goals (xG) prevention (+6.20), Pickford has promising early encounters with Leeds United, Brighton and Hove Albion and Wolves

Then again, no goalkeeper began last season at a bigger amount. Having an Everton stopper potentially priced the same as those from Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City could prove off-putting. But it’s hard to argue with such point totals.


12:00pm – ALEXANDER ISAK

FPL 2025/26: Sunday's live price reveals 1

The first reveal of 2025/26 handed Alexander Isak a £10.5m price.

Newcastle United’s star forward was indeed expected to rise from last season’s initial £8.5m, due to his 20 goals, nine assists and 211 points.

Only Mohamed Salah exceeded these 29 attacking returns, peaking with a period between Gameweeks 9 to 16 that brought 18 goals and 28 bonus points.

Hugo Ekitike’s seemingly imminent move to Liverpool should keep Isak at Newcastle. Therefore, FPL managers can start deciding whether it’s worth beginning with a ‘sure thing’ despite his tough early fixtures against Aston Villa and Slot’s champions.

    These price reveals remind me of one of my kids who feels and shakes all their wrapped presents before Christmas. Nobody has any patience growing up, its now now now. Veruca Salt was it in Charlie & The Chocolate Factory?

    FPL becoming too arrogant nowadays.

    This ain’t a fashion contest event of some sort in France. Salute those who are patient enough to follow every price reveal. No where near an enormous for a bored man.

      Gotta agree with you there, I was already tired of the drip fed price reveals but they really seem to have illusions of grandeur with this year's batch.

    Any good ideas for a minileague bet against my friend? Thinking of building up a pot (£10 per captain blank etc) and then winner gets all… Thoughts/suggestions?

      Set up a head to head mini league for just the 2 of you
      But just pay £1/£5 or £10 loser pays per game .
      Don't count overall league position

    When do we expect FPL to be updated, been weeks?

    1. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Tomorrow. Few price reveals in the morning and 3pm go live is my guesstimate

  6. Admiral Benson

    Ouch. RAN £6.0m

    1. Andy_Social

      Ran for the hills. If Nunes comes in at 5m ....

    2. FHRITP

      I'm confused, will both him and gvardiol start? Or rotate ?

      1. Admiral Benson
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 hours, 41 mins ago

        Gvardiol CB I guess?

      2. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 hours, 40 mins ago

        Gvardiol will probably move to cb
        Where he is less effective

        1. TanN
          • 4 Years
          3 hours, 55 mins ago

          RAN Gvardiol Dias Khusanov

          That's what id want as a city fan, but nunes will play RB

      3. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        4 hours, 34 mins ago

        Currently, I think it'll probably be opponent dependant and availability of CBs.

        LB: RAN, Gvardiol, O'Reilly
        LCB: Gvardiol, Ake
        RCB: Dias, Akanji, Stones, Khusanov
        RB: Nunes, Akanji, Lewis

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 6 Years
          4 hours, 32 mins ago

          Add Khusanov as a RB option as well

        2. TanN
          • 4 Years
          4 hours, 32 mins ago

          Akanji / Stones will probably leave

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 6 Years
            4 hours, 26 mins ago

            With under 4 weeks to go, I'm sure my thoughts on City defence will change

            I doubt anyone will touch Stones and his glass legs.

    3. TanN
      • 4 Years
      4 hours, 38 mins ago

      I was hoping for 5.5 but this makes sense tbf, think he will be amazing

  7. Babit1967

    Feel all 3 are overpriced.

    1. WVA
      • 8 Years
      4 hours, 48 mins ago

      Completely agree, won’t be starting with any of them, shame, 10, 5, 5.5 would have been bang on.

      1. Babit1967
        • 9 Years
        4 hours, 39 mins ago

        Agree mate

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 hours, 27 mins ago

      Isak by 0.5, but the other 2 are spot on imo.

  8. Ballito
    • 1 Year
    4 hours, 59 mins ago

    Like Trent, Ran great going forward but useless in defence! City will continue to leak goals this year!

  9. Ron_Swanson
    • 14 Years
    4 hours, 50 mins ago

    Elanga, Bruno, Palmer, Saka, Wirtz

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 14 Years
      4 hours, 19 mins ago

      Wirtz taking an early lead

  10. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 hours, 47 mins ago

    So basically add 0.5m to what any given players price likely would be

  11. Pommy Jimbo

    Top 3 emoticon reactions to price reveals on Whatsapp FPL page: Isak (10.5m) - Shock 38%, Cry 30%, Like 12%; Pickford (5.5m) - 41% Laugh, 21% Shock, Cry 18%; RAN (6.0m) - Shock 33%, Laugh 28%, Cry (19%). Big news: managers are shocked about Isak and RAN's price. RAN's price is acceptable but Isak's price is going to put people off. Use this analysis to your advantage this season. It's all I got.

  12. TheBiffas

    Wirtz £9m for me

    My early prediction: custom built GPT agents to be the new 'content creators'.

    In less than an one hour of 'vibing' my agent churned out a team strategy for GW 1 - 5, including a BB in GW1.

    AI will be a differentiator - no more need to read/subscribe to gazillions of crummy websites.

    Anyone who has watched the first episode of black box after the game launches knew this was coming.

    I'm expecting Salah to be £16m.

    ‘Following on from our recent tweet. Anyone not within the first 101-50,000 sign ups will be required to have at least one Manchester United player selected in each outfield position of their 15 player squad prior to the deadline at gameweek 1.

    I wonder if Towers gave a heads up to Review and those Solero chaps about these changes, particularly defensive contributions. Their early models must be in the bin now.

        Seems a little low. Shirley will have massive ownership. First price I'm not a fan of.

        1. Monklane

          Don't call him Shirley

    2. Zladan

      Nice price for Wirtz that!

      1. TheBiffas
        • 4 Years
        3 hours, 12 mins ago

        Yeah, a bit confusing considering the other 3 are priced quite high

        1. madhatter_129
          • 2 Years
          3 hours, 9 mins ago

          The other 3 are proven in the PL. Not everyone who comes over from Germany has been a hit, so there is an element of risk. But having said that, I will probably take that risk at that price!

          1. TheBiffas
            • 4 Years
            3 hours, 8 mins ago

            This is what people said about Haaland, and we all know what happened there

            1. madhatter_129
              • 2 Years
              3 hours, 5 mins ago

              True, but for every Haaland there is a Werner. I'm not saying that he won't be a hit, and I'd have priced him slightly higher personally, but I think that is probably their logic.

      2. Babit1967
        • 9 Years
        3 hours, 5 mins ago

        Yes he’s in my team.

    3. Andy_Social
      • 12 Years
      3 hours, 42 mins ago

      Bargain! Who needs Salah?

      1. CarelessGenius©
        • 13 Years
        3 hours, 41 mins ago

        I'll be having both, methinks.

      2. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 hours, 39 mins ago

        Even more of a bargain when Salah goes to AFCON

    4. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 hours, 40 mins ago

      Wirtz 0.5 less than I expected, Isak 0.5 more, other two same. Good to see that pricing in general looks like being similar to last season which harsher than the seasons that went before.

    5. The 12th Man
      • 11 Years
      3 hours, 35 mins ago

      Remember the hype Havertz brought when he joined the Premier League.
      Massively underperformed!
      Wirtz could be similar.

      1. Moxon
        • 10 Years
        3 hours, 33 mins ago

        Could be, or could perform like Haaland did

      2. TheBiffas
        • 4 Years
        3 hours, 28 mins ago

        The two cannot be compared... Havertz was a young talent. Wirtz is already world class, and he's shown it in the euros too.

        1. x.jim.x
          • 10 Years
          2 hours, 48 mins ago

          Havertz was being called world class based of a stint in the Bundesliga too… as was Werner, Sancho, etc

    6. The Hunt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 hours, 15 mins ago

      Wirtz's sell/buy for attacking returns this coming season is 16.75 / 18.75 with Spreadex. I think that's about right as he had 22 Opta returns in Germany last year and I would imagine that this will probably shade off a little in the EPL. I valued him at 8.0m in my private handicap (that's before all the rule changes mind you) so I won't be having him in my team anytime soon.

    7. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      All 4 will be in my team 😛 of course until we know the rest ...

    8. Weeb Kakashi
      • 9 Years
      2 hours, 49 mins ago

      At this point a threemium looks possible.

      One of Salah/Haaland
      Two of Saka/Palmer/Isak

    9. WVA

      When was the last time a player came from abroad and immediately did well in FPL?

          • 8 Years
          1 hour, 58 mins ago

          Can’t really argue with that, owned him from after the Newcastle game, can’t say he outperformed the much cheaper prem experienced players though

          1. x.jim.x
            • 10 Years
            1 hour, 56 mins ago

            We also had the likes of Evanilson, Lacroix, Asensio, etc last season

            1. WVA
              • 8 Years
              1 hour, 15 mins ago

              All priced accordingly

                I think you're arguing with yourself

    10. Moon Dog
        2 hours, 29 mins ago

        I asked Microsoft's AI to project Wirtz' points for next season. (The same AI FPL will integrate next season). The depth it goes into is actually impressive.

        Here's a snippet: https://ibb.co/N6B5T5tZ

        1. Moon Dog
            2 hours, 17 mins ago

            Still nothing you can really go off of though. It even got the appearance points wrong.

            But after I corrected it a few times, and asked it to be as pessimistic as possible, it still projected around 200pts over 34 apps, and I couldn't disagree with any of its rationale. I would take 200pts at 8.5m...

          • Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            2 hours, 14 mins ago

            38 starts, all those goals and assists, and more defensive contribution points than Caicedo.
            I didn't even know he was that good at defending, but that's why he's world class, and not just a young talent.

            1. Moon Dog
                2 hours, 9 mins ago

                Yeah its first attempt was not great 😆

                When I later asked it to draw defensive data from Bundesliga and be more pessimistic with how that translates to the Premier League, it got a lot more realistic. It's clear it hasn't had much training in fantasy football yet, but it will only get stronger as it learns.

                I mean Diaz got 186pts, so around 195-200 is not unreasonable. Bruno got 12 assists in a poor United team, so returns around that level seem fine, especially with the new assist rule.
