Florian Wirtz - Liverpool (116m)
The marque signing for Liverpool, from Bayer Leverkusen has a rich attacking record of 10-plus goals and assists in Germany. He plays on the left of a number 10 or an inside forward and provides goal threat and playmaking qualities. The FPL managers can approach him as an option slightly cheaper than Mohamed Salah, but expect him to be outside of penalties and set-pieces.
Milos Kerkez - Liverpool (40m)
Kerkez is a marauding left-back who scored six and assisted six in his last season at Bournemouth. With Liverpool’s full-back creativity in flux post-Trent-Alexander Arnold, Kerkez could evolve into a premium defensive pick if he nails down a starting role. Liverpool go into the new season as favourites to retain the EPL according to most bookmakers featured under Wincomparator, and the Hungarian will have some weight on his shoulder to deliver.
Matheus Cunha - Manchester United (62.5m)
Cunha scored 15 goals and provided 7 assists to Wolves, performing above the underlying xG totals. He is suited to 3 4 2 1 at United and can contest set-piece responsibilities. If his early form is good, a Metro level ownership surge can be expected.
Thierno Barry - Everton (27m)
The ambitious recruitment by Everton to replace Calvert‑Lewin introduces the 22‑year‑old striker of Villarreal, who scored 11 goals (and 4 assists) in La Liga, and is a proven penalty‑taker. Budget-forward managers can keep their eye on this one, particularly in case Barry gets any starts and/or penalties.
Evanilson - Bournemouth (6m)
In the aftermath of the departure of Solanke, Evanilson arrives on loan at Porto (25 goals last season). He is a speculative punt: high-end potential in the FPL when he gains popularity with the EPL.
Daichi Kamada - Crystal Palace (5.5m)
The attack-minded player fills the creative gap left by Olise, having contributed 15 goal contributions with Frankfurt. He has good fixtures going forward and is a steal at his current price of 5.5m.
Anthony Elanga - Newcastle (55m)
A speedy wide man, Elanga had 6 goals and 11 assists last season . On the right of Newcastle attack, with Isak, he provides thrilling potential.
The lightning-bolt transfer window has been one of the most exciting to date, featuring all manner of possible breakout players and wildcard tactics, leading to the 2025/26 FPL season being one of the hardest to predict yet. It could be landing big-name arrivals such as Florian Wirtz or it could be chasing value in naming such as Thierno Barry and Daichi Kamada but finding success this year will be based on identifying early form, the risks to rotation and making the most of fixture opportunities. Watch pre-season friendly games, pay attention to the roles and minutes played by players, and be flexible as in FPL even one transfer at the right time can take you off a good and to a great season.
