In the early hours of Friday, the FPL player prices were released with lots of football lovers happy and eager to start setting up their teams ahead of the forthcoming season.

The long-awaited Fantasy Premier League FPL Player prices 2022 23 relaunch appears to be getting closer with the publication of the first round of player prices on Friday.
The order of play started with Arsenal, followed by Manchester City, Brentford, Brighton, Hove Albion, and Leeds United.

KEY TALKING POINTS

• LIVERPOOL: Salah climbs to £13.0m; Jota now a forward; no rise for Alexander-Arnold
• MAN UTD: Ronaldo, Fernandes, and Sancho drop £2.0m each; Rashford now £6.5m
• WOLVES: Jonny and Neto are cheap at £4.5m and £5.5m
• ASTON VILLA: Cash and Digne are still at £5.0m; Coutinho is £7.0m
• FULHAM: Mitrovic enters at £6.5m

LIVERPOOL

For the Liverpool team in 2022–2023, the first round of Fantasy Premier League player prices has been released.
Starting salaries for 11 members of Jürgen Klopp’s team were revealed on Saturday, in advance of the forthcoming 2022/23 FPL fantasy football season.

Mohamed Salah, who recently extended his long-term deal with the team, is so far the most expensive FPL player, currently priced at £13.0 million. Despite the exorbitant price and considering the limited 100 million pounds budget, Mohamed Salah is still an asset for most FPL managers.

Mohamed Salah will set FPL managers back for the 2022/23 season with his high price tag. That is the Egyptian’s highest starting price since 2018/19, the season that followed his record-breaking, 303-point debut campaign at Anfield. He did reach the heights of £13.3m in the spring of this year, however.

Salah is also still a midfielder, the most emphatic confirmation yet that we’re not about to see FPL Towers radically rejig the positional classifications for the new season.

The difference between Luis Diaz’s £8.0 million price tag and that of his teammate Mohamed Salah is £5.0 million. Diogo Jota, and newly acquired Darwin Nunez are both priced at £9.0m.   Jota used to play through the middle in Jurgen Klopp’s 4-3-3 formation, but he is now a forward.

According to our calculations, Jota would have finished the season with 159 points had he been reclassified from the previous year. With Cristiano Ronaldo, he would have tied for the second-highest scoring position among forwards. Nunez’s presence, of course, increases his competition at the top.

The prices for two of the Reds’ summer signings have also been made official: forward Darwin Nunez will cost £9.0 million, and right-back Calvin Ramsay will cost £4.0 million. The two new arrivals are fairly priced and will be good ad-ons.

FPL managers will undoubtedly be interested in Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m), Andy Robertson (£7.0m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m), and Alisson Becker (£5.5m) in the defense. Trent Alexander-(£7.5m) Arnold’s price remains the same despite his 208-point season, which was just shy of the all-time defender scoring record in the Fantasy Premier League.
Moving forward, the prices for Thiago Alcantara (£5.5m), Harvey Elliott (£5.0m), and Diogo Jota (£9.0m) may represent bargains.

While Alisson unexpectedly slips to £5.5m despite finishing as FPL’s highest-scoring goalkeeper, challenging many of our preconceived notions about choosing a £4.5m budget shot-stopper. Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) and Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) also maintain their 2021/22 starting pricing. Hugo Lloris, a goalkeeper valued at £5.5 million, was in goal for the best-performing hypothetical “ghost squad” of 2021/22 (that we have seen, at least).

The other three Liverpool players priced today—Harvey Elliott (£5.0m) and Thiago Alcantara (£5.5m)—will garner far less attention. The first £4.0 million-rated defender we’ve seen so far is Calvin Ramsay, who was just signed and is comparable to Kostas Tsimikas from a year ago.

Ramsay is a back-up at right-back and was a prolific chance maker in his breakthrough year at Aberdeen, but it would take a serious injury to Alexander-Arnold for him to come into our consideration, and even then, Klopp might initially choose Joe Gomez or James Milner given that Ramsay is still only 18 years old.

MANCHESTER UNITED

Many of Manchester United’s players have seen their prices decline as a result of their disastrous 2021/22 season.

Cristiano Ronaldo (£10.5m) and Bruno Fernandes (£10.0m), who both dropped by £2.0m from where they started the game last season, may become cheap third premium alternatives for the forthcoming campaign.
If Erik ten Hag can work his magic and revitalize an aging, boring squad—and that’s a big “if”

It should be noted that Ronaldo was the second-highest scorer in the FPL for forwards in 2021–2022, tallying 18 goals as United slid to a sixth-place finish.

Any hints of improvement under Erik Ten Hag could give us a few deals in FPL because Fernandes was a big disappointment last season, who could believe he scored more points than Salah in 2020/21 only flop massively in the 2021/22 campaign.

The price of Jadon Sancho (£7.5m) has decreased by the same amount as that of his two teammates Marcos Rashford and Bruno Fernandes. Marcus Rashford (£6.5m), who cost £9.5m prior to the start of last season, has seen an even greater decline. Although Rashford struggled over the last year, he had a total 47 attacking returns over his prior two seasons, showing some now-dormant Fantasy pedigree.

Although 2021/22 was Anthony Elanga’s breakout year at United, his price (£5.0m) hasn’t changed. From Gameweek 22 on, only Fernandes, David de Gea, and Diogo Dalot started more league games for the Red Devils than the young Swede.

After a poor season for United’s defense, in which they only managed to keep eight clean sheets, Luke Shaw (£5.0m), Raphael Varane (£5.0m), and David de Gea (£5.0m) lose half a million each in the new prices ahead of next season.

The final three United price releases are Alex Telles (£5.0m), Fred (£5.5m), and Donny van de Beek (£5.5m).

S/N	PLAYER’S NAME	POSITION	PRICE
1	Ronaldo	Forward	£10.5m
2	Fernandes	Midfielder	£10m
3	Sancho	Midfielder	£7.5m
4	De Gea	Goalkeeper	£5m
5	Luke Shaw	Defender	£5m
6	Telles	Defender	£5m
7	Varane	Defender	£5m
8	Elanga	Midfielder	£5m
9	Fred	Midfielder	£5.5m
10	Van de Beek	Midfielder	£5.5m
11	Rashford	Midfielder	£6.5m

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

The Wolverhampton Wanderers price disclosures don’t raise many red flags.

Raul Jimenez (£7.0m) loses half a million following a lackluster season in which he scored only six goals, while Jose Sa (£5.0m) stays the same following a strong debut Premier League campaign in which his heroics led to 11 clean sheets for Wolves.

Bruno Lage’s team leads our Season Scorecard for fixture difficulty during the first six Gameweeks, despite having a poor 2021/22 season.

For that early-season run, there are a couple of potential steals: Jonny costs £4.5 million, while Pedro Neto is now only worth £5.5 million following a season marred by injuries.

Prior to the end of the season, Neto, who missed the first half of the 2021–2022 season, gradually reintegrated into Lage’s first-team lineup and made five starts before the end of last season. He was on the watchlist after producing 13 attacking returns in 2020–21, he was also effectively playing up front in a strike partnership toward the end of the campaign.

Nelson Semedo (£5.0m) appears unlikely to have fully recovered by the beginning of August, leaving the flexible Jonny to start 2022/23 at right wing-back. Jonny also scored twice after his own extended layoff.

Conor Coady joins Semedo at £5.0m after a fantastic 2021/22 in which he finished as the 12th-highest scoring defender in FPL. In addition, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Max Kilman remain at £4.5m.

Daniel Podence and Ruben Neves’ prices are the same as they were a year ago, at £5.5 million and £5.5 million, respectively. Hwang Hee-chan has been reclassified as a midfielder and is listed at £6.0 million.

S/N	PLAYER’S NAME	POSITION	PRICE
1	Ait-Nouri	Defender	£4.5m
2	Kilman	Defender	£4.5m
3	Coady	Defender	£5m
4	Semedo	Defender	£5m
5	Neto	Midfielder	£5.5m
6	Neves	Midfielder	£5.5m
7	Podence	Midfielder	£5.5m
8	Hwang	Midfielder	£6m
9	Jimenez	Forward	£7m
10	Sa	Goalkeeper	£5m
11	Jonny	Defender	£4.5m

ASTON VILLA

Pricing at Villa is probably on the generous side of what is “expected.”

With a price tag of £5.0m, Matty Cash, the top-scoring FPL defender outside of the big-six teams last season, stands out.

In 2021/22, Cash started each and every Premier League game for the Villans and produced seven attacking returns and thirteen clean sheets from the same starting price. With the addition of center-back Diego Carlos (£5.0 million) and defensive midfielder Boubacar Kamara (£5.0 million) to the team, Villa is hoped to progress even more in terms of shutouts in 2021–2022.

Emi Martinez (£5.0m) and Lucas Digne (£5.0m), two of the most alluring but usually unimpressive FPL assets, cost the same as Cash.

Ollie Watkins, who has scored the most goals for the team over the past two seasons, is Villa’s most expensive asset at £7.5 million, exactly where he was a year ago. Philippe Coutinho (£7.0m) and Danny Ings (£7.0m) are both half a million less expensive, with the Brazilian’s streak of 10 consecutive blanks between Gameweeks 29 and 37 likely contributing to his lower price.

Meanwhile, Jacob Ramsey is no longer the cheap alternative he was during the previous season thanks to his breakout performance, which led to an increase to £5.5m.

John McGinn (£5.5 million) and Emi Buendia (£6.0 million) were the other two Villa players whose prices were announced today.

S/N	PLAYER’S NAME	POSITION	PRICE
1	Coutinho	Midfielder	£7m
2	Watkins	Forward	£7.5m
3	Martinez	Goalkeeper	£5m
4	Diego Carlos	Defender	£5m
5	Digne	Defender	£5m
6	Kamara	Midfielder	£5m
7	McGinn	Midfielder	£5.5m
8	Ramsey	Midfielder	£5.5m
9	Buendia	Midfielder	£6m
10	Ings	Forward	£7m
11	Cash	Defender	£5m
