FPL Player Prices 2026/27: Every Price, Ranked by Value

All 555 FPL prices for 2026/27 are live, from Haaland's record £15.5m down to the £4.0m floor — and only two players cost more than £9.5m. The question that actually matters isn't what a player costs, it's whether they're worth it. The table below has the official price for every player, each tagged with a value verdict, and below it our read on who the game has priced too cheaply and who you're overpaying for.

Prices now move every night. If you want to know who is rising and falling tonight rather than what everyone costs today, that lives on our FPL price changes page.

The full price list, ranked by value

Sorted by value — the best points-for-money at the top — with a ▲ Underpriced / Fair / ▼ Overpriced badge on every player. Filter by position, club or price, tap Add to shortlist anyone, and open your picks in the planner in one tap. Below the table, the Best Value XI is the strongest legal squad the value model can build for the money.

How the badge works: it compares each player's points-per-£m against others in the same position, using last season's output. It's a fast, backward-looking starting point — it doesn't know about new penalty duties, transfers or injuries, so treat it as a filter, not gospel. The forward-looking calls are below.

Our read: who's actually worth it

The shape of the 26/27 market

Only two players cost more than £9.5m this year — Haaland (£15.5m) and Bruno Fernandes (£12.0m) — down from five last season. So the value isn't at the top; it's in the £6.0–8.5m band of proven attackers. Meanwhile FPL did two things that reshape everything below the premiums:

• Defenders got more expensive, especially defensive-contribution (DefCon) specialists — no defender who scored 20+ DefCon points last season is available under £5.0m now. FPL effectively admitted it underpriced them a year ago.
• The bonus system was rebalanced to stop centre-backs double-dipping (clearances/blocks/interceptions now score less BPS, and the tackle penalty is gone — the full 26/27 rule changes are here). Net effect: attacking full-backs and hard-running midfielders gain, elite centre-backs lose a little shine.
• Attackers are flatter and cheaper — outside Haaland, no forward tops £9.0m, and strikers had a poor collective season. That's where the bargains cluster.

The takeaway managers keep landing on: the top is over-taxed, so overload the cheap mid-tier.

Salah's gone — the biggest single ripple

Mohamed Salah left Liverpool this summer — his contract was terminated by mutual agreement in early July — which removes a ~£14m template asset and the main captaincy rival. Two consequences:

• Haaland is now the near-unanimous #1 captain. At £15.5m he's a record price, but he's essential.
• Liverpool's penalties are up for grabs. The popular pick is Szoboszlai (£7.0m) — he deputised for Salah, takes free-kicks and corners, is nailed for 90 minutes and racked up ~20 DefCon points. That combination at £7.0m is the launch-week value darling. But be honest about the risk: the official Scout has floated Isak taking the spot-kicks as the central striker, so the pen order isn't settled. Szoboszlai's the favourite; it's not locked.

Underpriced — where we'd spend

• Midfield is the value engine. Beyond Szoboszlai: Semenyo (£8.5m, now at Man City) (202 points last year, priced ~£1.5m under expectation — though he over-performed his xG, so mind the regression), Morgan Rogers (£7.5m, now at Chelsea) (17 goal contributions, Palmer's team-mate at a £2.0m discount), Foden (£7.0m) as a bounce-back punt, and Iliman Ndiaye (£6.0m) — Everton's number-one penalty taker, the best all-round sub-£7.0m option. For the budget-DefCon route, Ethan Ampadu (£5.5m) and Anton Stach (£6.0m, Leeds) (set-pieces plus defensive volume) are the cheap points-machines, while Kroupi (£7.5m) — reclassified to midfield and in the Bournemouth penalty conversation, though Kluivert looks first in line — is a live differential.
• Cheap forwards are unusually good this year. Calvert-Lewin (£6.0m) is the safe one — at Leeds and on penalties, a genuine budget haul if he starts. Gyökeres (£7.5m) looks like an over-reaction to a £2.0m drop, and he's in the Arsenal penalty mix (shared with Saka and Ødegaard); João Pedro (£7.5m, Chelsea) is stable value off a 20-goal-involvement season (he's lost the spot-kicks, so it's open play now); Will Osula (£6.0m) is a live differential if he wins the Newcastle striker role; and Danny Welbeck (£6.0m) shares Brighton's pens. (Two names doing the rounds as £6.0m punts — Igor Jesus and Brobbey — we'd be careful with: Igor Jesus rotates with Chris Wood and may be sold, and Brobbey's at Sunderland with his own exit noise. Calvert-Lewin is the cleaner pick.)
• Goalkeeper: pay £4.5m, not £6.0m — unless you want Raya. Kinsky (£4.5m, Spurs) and Verbruggen (£4.5m, Brighton) are undisputed number-ones and the popular budget picks; pair one with a £4.0m non-playing keeper. Raya (£6.0m) is the template premium if you'd rather guarantee Arsenal clean sheets.

Budget enablers & attacking full-backs

Every defender from the three promoted clubs is priced at £4.0m, so price isn't the tiebreaker — role, nailed-ness and fixtures are. This is where you find the cash to fund the premiums (the budget enablers guide covers how to judge them; the promoted-teams guide goes club by club).

• Attacking full-backs with real upside. Van Ewijk (Coventry, £4.0m) is the template pick — a nailed right-back with eight-plus Championship assists who takes direct free-kicks — but Coventry open with Arsenal and Man City, so he's a hold-for-later, not a Gameweek 1 starter. The differential is Leif Davis (Ipswich, £4.0m): an elite creator (18 assists in the promotion season), Ipswich have the softest promoted fixtures, and if they sell right-back Harry Clarke (heavily linked away) the corners revert to Davis. Ryan Giles (Hull, £4.0m) is a "budget Robertson" on Hull's corners — if his fitness holds.
• £4.0m centre-backs for defensive-contribution points. Charlie Hughes (Hull) posted the highest defensive-actions rate of any promoted defender; Bobby Thomas (Coventry) adds set-piece goal threat (3 goals, 4 assists last year); Issa Diop (Ipswich) is the DefCon lottery ticket if Ipswich sit deep.
• A rung up (£4.5–5.5m). Tyrick Mitchell (£4.5m) was the best sub-£5.0m defender last season (135 pts); Muñoz (£5.5m) is the most-cited attacking-wing-back differential (eight returns last year); Nathan Collins (£5.5m) and Joachim Andersen (£5.0m) are nailed DefCon machines flying under the radar; Lewis Hall (£5.0m, Newcastle) whips crosses and takes set-pieces.

One honest caveat that's easy to miss: the 26/27 bonus and DefCon tweaks nudge value toward holding midfielders and slightly away from full-backs whose assists come from short crosses — so a cheap defensive-midfield DefCon pick (Caicedo £5.5m, Ampadu £5.5m, Stach £6.0m) is a live alternative to the attacking full-back as your enabler.

Handle with care

• Watkins (£8.0m) splits the data from the mood. The mood: his worst season in four years, the only top-20 scorer to be cut in price, and live Fenerbahçe links. The data: he barely played at the World Cup, so he's one of the freshest elite forwards in the game — our model rates him the top GW1 score in the whole pool. If the transfer noise dies down, the consensus avoid becomes a bargain.
• Gabriel (£8.0m) genuinely splits the community. He was the top-scoring defender (209 points), so the price is "earned" — but the CB bonus nerf and a near-record tag make plenty call it a step too far, especially if you also want Haaland and Bruno. Your money may stretch further with a cheaper route into the same Arsenal defence — Calafiori (£5.5m), or Raya (£6.0m) for the clean sheets — leaving cash for the attack. (One caveat on going really cheap there: Mosquera (£5.5m) looks like value while Saliba recovers from the serious back injury he suffered at the World Cup — he's expected out for four to five months — but Mosquera's own minutes aren't nailed down; our model gives him barely half a game per week early on.)
• Palmer (£9.5m) is a coin-flip: a bounce-back at a £1.0m discount, or a trap after a 114-point season. Reasonable managers are on both sides.

On Isak (£9.0m)

Worth its own line, since it's the season's sharpest value-vs-risk call. He dropped £1.5m after an injury-wrecked debut year at Liverpool (fibula and ankle surgery, ~28 games missed) and a compromised pre-season. The ceiling is a 200-point striker on Liverpool's penalties; the floor is fitness and rotation — our model's blunt early read is barely half a game of expected minutes in Gameweek 1, so the punt is about September onwards, not the opening weekend. High reward, real risk — a punt, not a set-and-forget.

The squad this points to

Put it together and a familiar shape falls out: Haaland (captain) and Bruno Fernandes as your only two genuine premiums — the captaincy call is closer than the ownership suggests — a midfield stacked with penalty-takers (Szoboszlai plus a cheap one like Ndiaye), one of the well-priced forwards (Calvert-Lewin the safe pick), and the rest of the budget soaked up by £4.0–4.5m enablers — a promoted full-back or two and a nailed cheap keeper. Only two players cost more than £9.5m this year, so the money is there; the season is won and lost in the £5–8m mid-tier. Browse the full player pool, then build the squad in the planner — our Gameweek 1 squad guide covers the structure — and compare a with-Haaland and without-Haaland draft before you commit.

How FPL prices — and price changes — work

• Launch prices are set once, from previous output, ownership appeal, transfers and position changes. They were locked until the Gameweek 1 deadline; the season is now under way and prices move on their own.
• In-season, prices drift ±£0.1m at a time, driven by net transfers, with changes applied overnight, at midnight UK — get in before a rise and you bank the value; sell before a fall and you keep it. A player can only move once a day, and no more than £0.3m either way inside a single gameweek. The full mechanics live on our rules page.
• You keep half of any rise, rounded down. A player bought at £7.0m who is now £7.2m sells for £7.1m — so a rise you already own is worth half of what the headline says. A fall costs you the full amount.
• Track it live on our FPL price changes page — every player close to moving, how far along he is, and what we project actually happens at tonight's cutoff. (Everything else that changed this season is here.)

How accurate were our launch predictions?

Before launch we published a predicted price for every player. Across 392 predictions, half landed to the decimal and nine in ten within half a million:

The value badges above lean on expected points — what a player is likely to score per match, against what they cost — judged within each position. Minutes are the one thing no model nails in pre-season, so treat the badges as a filter and the read above as a starting point, then trust your own eye on who's actually starting come Gameweek 1.
