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

FPL launched 2026/27 with 555 players priced, from Haaland's record £15.5m down to the £4.0m floor — and only two of them above £9.5m. Prices have been moving every night since the Gameweek 1 deadline, but the question that actually matters hasn't changed: not what a player costs, but whether he's worth it. The table below shows the current price for every player, each tagged with a value verdict, and below it our read on the launch-price market — who the game priced too cheaply and who you're overpaying for.

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 — with the likely risers and likely fallers on their own lists.

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

This read was written against launch prices, and every price quoted in it is the launch price. Names have risen and fallen since, and form, injuries and roles have moved on — check the table above and the player list for today's price and our live the next gameweek projection before acting on any of it.

The shape of the 26/27 market

At launch, only two players cost more than £9.5m — 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 launched under £5.0m. 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 launched above £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 became the near-unanimous #1 captain. At £15.5m he launched at 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 made him the launch-week value darling. The risk at launch was the pen order: the official Scout floated Isak taking the spot-kicks as the central striker, so it wasn't settled. Before buying now, check who has actually stepped up when Liverpool have won one.

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 looked first in line at launch — 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 rotated with Chris Wood and carried summer exit talk, and Brobbey's at Sunderland with his own exit noise at the time. 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; time him around Coventry's kinder runs on the fixtures page. The differential at launch was Leif Davis (Ipswich, £4.0m): an elite creator (18 assists in the promotion season), and if Ipswich sold right-back Harry Clarke (heavily linked away over the summer) the corners were set to revert to Davis — his player page shows whether that has happened. 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 at launch: 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 came in as one of the freshest elite forwards in the game — our model rated him the top Gameweek 1 score in the whole pool. With the summer window behind us, judge him on his minutes and form on his player page, not the rumours.
• 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 weren't nailed down; our model gave him barely half a game per week early on. Check the injuries page and predicted lineups for where that stands now.)
• 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 was the launch market'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 read at launch was barely half a game of expected minutes in Gameweek 1, so the case always rested on him getting fit and staying fit as the season went on. High reward, real risk — a punt, not a set-and-forget. His player page shows the minutes he is actually getting and our live the next gameweek projection.

The squad this points to

Put it together and the launch market pointed to a familiar shape — and it is still the template to measure a wildcard against: 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 launched above £9.5m, 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 it holds for a wildcard draft too — 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.)
