Six changes made to FPl ahead of 2026/27 season

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is back for 2026/27, with plenty of changes.

While more announcements are still to come this week, here is everything we know so far.

LIVE updates to mini-leagues

From the start of the campaign, managers will feel the drama of every match thanks to real-time updates to leagues and bonus points.

Hardcore players can constantly check their world ranking, their position in the global standings, and indeed, in all other leagues. The same concept will apply to head-to-head duels between Fantasy managers and FPL Cup ties.

In 2026/27, projected bonus points will be added to your players’ scores following the first 20 minutes of each match – a time when managers begin to become separated in the Bonus Points System. The bonus points will change throughout the entirety of the game.

Player Price Predictor

This fascinating new tool will utilise official FPL data to track transfer activity for every player, giving an integral insight into who is likely to rise and fall each day at 00:00 UK time.

While the data is merely just a guide and doesn’t promise a guarantee on price change, it gives players an amazing opportunity to play smart and get the edge on their rivals.

See how your career history compares

It’s safe to say we’ve all had a bad season of FPL at some stage of our lives. However, not to worry, as now you can see how well you’ve done throughout your entire career.

You can check your averages across the years, reminisce over some of your better seasons, and even check if your combined average is in the top 10% of players.

Tweaks to Bonus Points System

The Bonus Points system is of paramount importance in FPL. However, this year, the game is shaking things up a bit. This has been done to reduce overlap with defensive contribution points and to improve the bonus-point prospects of goalkeepers, left backs, right backs and attacking players.

Later Lockdown

The Gameweek lockdown is a moment that fans wait for with bated breath. The time when players will find out their final score will now take place at 9 PM UK time on the day following the final match rather than an hour after the final whistle.

This has been done to allow Opta review data to be reflected in the Bonus Points System and the defensive contribution points.
