FPL 2026/27 price reveal: Haaland sets record as Bruno Fernandes rises

Erling Haaland is the most expensive FPL player ever at £15.5m, while Bruno Fernandes has risen to £12m for the 2026/27 Fantasy Premier League season.

Erling Haaland has become the most expensive player in Fantasy Premier League history after being handed a £15.5m price tag for the 2026/27 season, while Bruno Fernandes has also received one of the biggest increases in FPL history as he will now cost £12.0m.

The new prices have immediately given managers plenty to think about ahead of the new campaign, with Haaland now costing £1.5m more than he did at the start of last season and Fernandes rising by a remarkable £3m.

For managers already planning their squads, the price reveal could have a major impact on GW1 selections, particularly given that Haaland and Fernandes were the two highest-scoring players in FPL last season and have favourable opening fixtures.

While selecting both would take a significant chunk out of the £100.0m, not selecting them could also prove costly should they get off to good starts and their prices rise even further.

The full price list of FPL players has yet to be revealed, but Haaland and Fernandes’ price rises have been revealed as a teaser by the Fantasy Premier League official website, as managers prepare for the FPL 26/27 start date and begin assessing the opening fixtures.

How much does Haaland cost in FPL 2026/27?

Haaland will cost £15.5m at the start of the 2026/27 Fantasy Premier League season, surpassing his own previous record of £15.0m.

The Manchester City striker previously reached that price at the beginning of the 2024/25 campaign, but his latest valuation takes him into uncharted territory for FPL managers.

Haaland has now appeared four times among the nine most expensive players in Fantasy Premier League history. He was valued at £14m at the start of both the 2023/24 and 2025/26 seasons, before his price rose to £15m in 2024/25.

The increase comes after another hugely productive campaign where Haaland finished the 2025/26 season as the highest-scoring player in FPL, collecting 239 points thanks to 27 goals and eight assists.

He was also the most-owned player in the game at his peak and was captained more often than anyone else in a single Gameweek.

That makes the decision to leave him out of a squad a potentially risky one, despite the enormous cost.

On paper, that is a potentially attractive opening run for a player who has consistently started seasons in explosive fashion.

Haaland has been the highest-scoring FPL player after the first six Gameweeks in each of his four seasons with Manchester City. He has averaged nine goals across those opening six matches during his FPL career, making his omission a risky one.

There is, however, one important difference this time around, as Haaland enters the season on the back of a World Cup with Norway. This campaign will be the first time he has entered a Premier League season after competing in a major international tournament.

With a reduced pre-season, it remains to be seen whether Enzo Maresca will want to give his striker some more time off in the summer, something that could raise questions about his early-season minutes.

How much does Bruno Fernandes cost in FPL 2026/27?

Haaland is not the only superstar to receive a major price increase, as Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes will now cost £12.0m in FPL 2026/27, a £3m rise from his starting price last season.

That is one of the biggest price increases in Fantasy Premier League history and takes Fernandes back to the highest valuation of his career.

Bruno was previously priced at £12.0m at the beginning of the 2021/22 season after finishing the previous campaign as the top-scoring player in FPL.

His new price is understandable after an exceptional 2025/26 season where he broke the all-time Premier League assist record (21) previously held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne (20 each).

Fernandes finished second in the overall rankings with 235 points, scoring nine goals and providing 24 FPL assists.

He also recorded 12 double-digit Gameweek scores, a total bettered only by Haaland and Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes among the players who reached that mark.

Is Bruno Fernandes worth £12m in FPL 2026/27?

The most interesting aspect of Fernandes’ price rise is the way his season went after the appointment of Michael Carrick as head coach.

Under Ruben Amorim, Fernandes initially played in a deeper midfield role. And while he still scored 106 points across the first 21 Gameweeks under his compatriot, ranking fourth among midfielders, his output reached another level when Carrick took charge from GW22.

That managerial change saw Fernandes gain greater freedom as a No.10 behind the striker, and he became the highest-scoring FPL player across the final 17 Gameweeks of the season. He collected 129 points during that period, averaging 7.6 points per match.

Eight of his 12 double-digit hauls also came after GW22, suggesting that his role could be just as important as his price when managers assess whether he is worth selecting.

The home fixture against newly promoted Ipswich in Gameweek 2, who are among the Premier League relegation favourites, immediately stands out as a potential captaincy opportunity.

Fernandes’ ability to produce goals, assists and bonus points makes him particularly appealing in a season where Manchester United will again rely on their captain for attacking output and creativity.

Should you own Haaland and Bruno Fernandes in FPL 2026/27?

The two players cost a combined £27.5m for the 2026/27 season – £4.5m more than the pair cost at the start of 2025/26, meaning managers who want both will need to make significant sacrifices elsewhere in their squads.

The decision could become one of the defining questions of the new FPL season: whether to build around two proven premium assets or spread the budget across several slightly cheaper options.

If you do invest in both, then there is a nice Erling Haaland-Bruno Fernandes rotating captain possibility, whereby you could switch the armband to the player that has a home game in each of the opening five Gameweeks.

The new pricing structure will also need to be considered alongside the latest FPL 26/27 new features and rule changes, which could influence how managers go about setting up their squads and formations.

With the Premier League opening weekend fixtures approaching, the prices of Haaland and Fernandes are likely to be among the most debated topics in the FPL community.

While their prices are steep, leaving one or both out of your team could be a decision to regret if they get off to good starts and their prices begin to rise even further.
