Fantasy Premier League update

The hugely popular game, where users gain points based on their players' individual performances during each gameweek, has also announced some individuals have changed position.

One of these is Matheus Cunha, our capture from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Brazil international was classified as a forward when at Molineux, but is now a midfielder.

Cunha will cost £8 million of the £100 million budget allocated to all the fantasy managers, after racking up 178 points in the game last term.

Fellow new boy Bryan Mbeumo, who completed his move from Brentford this week, is also a midfielder and shares the same valuation, on the back of his 20-goal season with the Bees in 2024/25, when he accumulated 236 points.

Defender Diego Leon costs £4.5 million with the 18-year-old making his maiden United appearance in the friendly draw against Leeds United in Stockholm.

The most-expensive United player is Bruno Fernandes, who is valued at £9 million. Our captain was the top-scoring Red last time around on 174 points.

A number of rule changes will also take effect in FPL for the upcoming campaign.

These include defensive contributions being rewarded, two sets of chips becoming available to use, more flexibility on assists being acknowledged and additional free transfers in operation to help plan for any absentees during the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, which begins in December.
