Erling Haaland – Predicted: £13.5m to £14.0m

Despite a relatively muted campaign by his own high standards, Haaland remains a pricing headache.

• Matt Corbidge: "14.0 - Arguably overpriced, 13.5 maybe fairer."
• James Cooper: "13.5 - I think Haaland and Salah will be close."
• Corey Baker: "14.0 - Drop given last season's inflated prices but he still had a solid points per min rate. Shouldn't drop below 13.5."
• Walter Randazzo: "14.0 - Having started at £15m I expect a reduction but not too much."
• Mark Mansfield: "13.5 - They cannot price him as high as last season based on performance."

Consensus: A drop from last season is expected, with £13.5–£14.0m looking likely.

Mohamed Salah – Predicted: £13.5m to £14.0m

A record-breaking season means Salah is set to remain premium.

• Matt Corbidge: "14.0 - Record breaking season, gut says he won’t go higher than 14.0"
• James Cooper: "14.0 - Salah’s record-breaking performance will push him up a touch."
• Corey Baker: "14.0 - I am guessing they pair these two (Haaland and Salah) together at either 14 or 13.5."
• Walter Randazzo: "14.0 - Player of the season, breaking records for fun."
• Mark Mansfield: "13.5 - He has to be the highest priced player in the game."

Consensus: Near-universal agreement on £14.0m – the standout premium midfielder.

Alexander Isak – Predicted: £9.5m to £10.5m

The highest scoring forward in 2024/25 could get a serious bump.

• Matt Corbidge: "10.5 - Pen taker, top scoring forward."
• James Cooper: "10.5 - All of Isak, Palmer, and Saka present similar levels in my book."
• Corey Baker: "9.5 - Started at 8.5 this season, surely goes up."
• Walter Randazzo: "10.5 - Highest scoring striker, another 1m rise is not unreasonable."
• Mark Mansfield: "9.5 to 10.0 - Even at 10 he could be a snip."

Consensus: Between £9.5m and £10.5m depending on club situation and Newcastle's transfer activity.

Matheus Cunha – Predicted: £7.5m to £8.5m (midfielder/forward)

One of the biggest FPL surprises – but will his move to Manchester United affect value?

• Matt Corbidge: "8.0 - Hype alone will push him up."
• James Cooper: "8.0 - Midfielder reclassification and was a huge xG overperformer."
• Corey Baker: "7.5 - If Bruno stays. Question is position classification."
• Walter Randazzo: "8.0 - With his move to Man Utd confirmed, it remains to be seen how he will adapt."
• Mark Mansfield: "8.5 - Regardless of how good Cunha is, he’s going to play for United."

Consensus: Likely £8.0m, possibly higher depending on FPL's position decision.

Bryan Mbeumo – Predicted: £8.0m to £9.5m

Talisman for Brentford – but where will he be next season?

• Matt Corbidge: "9.5 - Proven Fantasy elite but moving to a bottom 5 team."
• James Cooper: "8.5 - Cunha and Mbeumo - the two biggest over-performers in respect of goals exceeding xG (make of that what you will…)"
• Corey Baker: "8.0 - Potentially 8.5 if Bruno stays."
• Walter Randazzo: "8.5 - Much of his appeal came from being Brentford's talisman."
• Mark Mansfield: "8.5 - May not have penalties."

Consensus: £8.5m is the sweet spot if he stays; Matt sees higher due to pedigree.

Cole Palmer – Predicted: £10.0m to £12.0m

Two 200+ point seasons but mixed reviews.

• Matt Corbidge: "11.5 - Two 200+ seasons as a pen taker in a top 4 team."
• James Cooper: "11.0 - I see him in the same bracket as Saka and Isak."
• Corey Baker: "10.0 - Season clearly a disappointment. 9.5 possible."
• Walter Randazzo: "10.5 - Bit of a mixed season."
• Mark Mansfield: "12.0 - Poor returns since Christmas could dampen that."

Consensus: Likely £10.5–£11.5m, though Mark argues Palmer’s upside justifies £12.0.

Bukayo Saka – Predicted: £10.0m to £12.0m

Quiet end to the season might keep his price steady.

• Matt Corbidge: "10.0 - Drop in price due to relatively low 127 points."
• James Cooper: "10.5 - similar to Palmer."
• Corey Baker: "10.0 - Performed as expected until injuries hit."
• Walter Randazzo: "10.0 - Expect the same price pretty much."
• Mark Mansfield: "12.0 - Could be a bit of a forgotten man."

Consensus: Most managers expect £10.0m–£10.5m. Mark stands out with a bold £12.0m call.

Morgan Rogers – Predicted: £7.0m to £8.5m

One of 2024/25’s breakout enablers could see a significant jump.

• Matt Corbidge: "7.0 - £2m increase vs. this year seems fair."
• James Cooper: "7.5"
• Corey Baker: "7.5 - Presuming he is still at Villa."
• Walter Randazzo: "7.0 - Always nailed, often involved. Even 7.5 wouldn't be surprising."
• Mark Mansfield: "8.5 - Maybe not great value at that."

Consensus: Between £7.0m and £7.5m, with Mark the highest.

Kevin Schade – Predicted: £6.0m to £7.5m

Could be next season’s mid-price gem if nailed.

• Matt Corbidge: "6.0 - Slight increase due to assumed nailedness."
• James Cooper: "7.0"
• Corey Baker: "7.0 - Will be 1st or 2nd attacking option."
• Walter Randazzo: "6.5 - Strong end to the season."
• Mark Mansfield: "7.5 - Will depend on transfers."

Consensus: Between £6.5m and £7.0m looks most likely.

Jeremie Frimpong – Predicted: £5.5m to £6.0m

New Liverpool signing, famed for attacking output – how will FPL rate him?

• Matt Corbidge: "5.5 - Any starting defender in a top team will be 5.5 unless nailed and historically high scoring."
• James Cooper: "5.5"
• Corey Baker: "5.5 or 6.0 - Would be very surprised if it’s outside that range."
• Walter Randazzo: "5.5 - Possibly 6.0 but maybe they go cheaper due to coming from another league."
• Mark Mansfield: "5.5 - 6.0 will be the ceiling for a defender."

Consensus: £5.5m is the unanimous call unless FPL get bold.
