The Premier League confirmed the landmark price on Wednesday as it unveiled a series of new features and gameplay updates designed to enhance the fantasy football experience ahead of the new campaign.

The Haaland Fantasy Premier League Price eclipses every previous valuation in the game’s history, underlining the Norwegian’s status as one of the competition’s most influential assets after another prolific season for Manchester City.

Elsewhere, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes received the joint-biggest price increase in Fantasy Premier League history, climbing £3 million to £12 million, while Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhães is valued at £8 million, becoming only the third defender to reach that figure.

The Premier League also announced that mini-league standings, global rankings, head-to-head fixtures and FPL Cup ties will now update live during matches, giving managers real-time insight into their performance.

Projected bonus points will appear after the opening 20 minutes of each match and continue to update as games progress, while a new Price Change Predictor will use official transfer data to indicate which players are most likely to rise or fall in value.

“The data will always be a guide and doesn’t guarantee a price change,” the Premier League said, adding that managers who follow the predictor can “stay ahead of the curve” in the transfer market.

Managers will also benefit from redesigned squad pages displaying fixture difficulty ratings, player ownership and upcoming opponents more clearly.

Once the season begins, additional information such as recent form and price movement trends will also be available.

Another notable addition allows Fantasy Premier League managers to compare their career record with players around the world through average historical performance and percentile rankings.

The Bonus Points System has also been refined to reduce overlap with defensive contribution points, improving bonus opportunities for goalkeepers, full-backs and attacking players.

In addition, the Gameweek deadline for final score calculations has been moved to 09:00 UK time on the day after the final fixture, allowing more time for Opta’s post-match data review.

Several familiar features remain unchanged. Managers will once again have two sets of Wildcard, Free Hit, Triple Captain and Bench Boost chips across the season, while up to five free transfers can still be rolled over.

However, the additional free transfers introduced last season to accommodate the Africa Cup of Nations will not return because the tournament is not scheduled during the 2026-27 campaign.

Fantasy Premier League continues to attract millions of players globally, with annual updates reflecting both tactical trends in football and feedback from managers.
