FPL 2025: The Must-Have Players for Your Fantasy Premier League Team This Season
New Premier League season, same old question, who’s getting slapped with the armband and who’s going to be rage-transferred out faster than a Chelsea manager?
Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is back and the early squad tinkering is already causing trust issues. But fear not, here’s a spicy shortlist of the players who actually should deliver the goods, whether you’re going full meta or just picking vibes over logic. No judgment here.
The Must Have Category: You Should have atleast two of these Stars
Erling Haaland
Captaincy? Just tattoo the armband on him. The cyborg scored 22 league goals in a bad season by his standards. Fixture-proof, weather-proof, Pep rotation-proof (sort of). Don’t overthink this one.
Mohamed Salah
Ignore him at your own peril. Even in a slightly underwhelming Liverpool campaign, he still delivers elite FPL numbers and the last season was just the peak of what Mo Salah is capable of. Set-pieces, penalties and a chip on his shoulder. Sounds like fantasy gold.
Cole Palmer
Main character energy. The lad basically turned Chelsea’s chaos into a one-man show for the last two seasons. On pens, set-pieces and possibly running the entire midfield. Bonus: he’s listed as a midfielder but plays like a forward. He is also has the record of the most FPL points gained in total for the last two PL seasons. The Coldest player in PL is a must for your FPL team.
The Good Investments Category: They will give you a good return in terms of the money
Phil Foden
The breakout finally broke out. If Pep doesn’t get tactical vertigo and start playing him at left-back, Foden is a no-brainer. Goals, assists and those cheeky 3-point bonuses. All in.
Bukayo Saka
Reliable, consistent and allergic to blank Gameweeks. Plus, he’s on penalties and free kicks. Arteta loves him, FPL managers love him and your mini-league rivals will hate you for owning him.
Budget Ballers Who Might Be This Season’s Hidden Gems
João Pedro
When he plays, he scores. Chelsea’s Newest Striker signing had hit the ground running in the Club World Cup and will be a great addition to anyone’s FPL team as Cole Palmer will be providing him with assists week in and week out.
Jarrad Branthwaite
Cheap, starts every week and scores headers like a nostalgic 2005 centre-back. If Moyes keeps Everton gritty, Branthwaite is your man for clean sheets and surprise returns.
Harvey Elliott
If Arne Slot lets him cook this season, Elliott could be a steal. Creative spark, strong pre-season and has “budget enabler turned hero” written all over him.
