Pricing has gone aggressive at the top end for FPL 2026/27, forcing managers to make harder decisions about which super‑premium assets they can afford.

The most expensive FPL player ever has just been confirmed, and several other stars sit in the elite bracket.

Building a balanced FPL squad while squeezing in multiple premiums will be one of the key puzzles ahead of Gameweek 1.

Below are the five priciest players in FPL 2026/27 and what their tags mean for your Fantasy strategy.

Top premium FPL 2026/27 price list

  • Erling Haaland — Man City, Forward, £15.5m

Haaland is the most expensive player in FPL history, and for good reason. After another huge season, he remains the safest captaincy option in the game and the forward most managers will still try to fit in.

  • Bruno Fernandes — Man Utd, Midfielder, £12.0m

Fernandes is one of the biggest price risers this season, reflecting his elite output from goals, assists and set pieces. He remains central to Manchester United’s attack and offers strong FPL consistency in midfield.

  • Cole Palmer — Chelsea, Midfielder, £9.5m

Palmer continues to be one of the standout midfield picks in FPL thanks to his creative role and penalty duties. His price reflects his status as Chelsea’s most reliable attacking outlet and a key premium midfield option.

  • Bukayo Saka — Arsenal, Midfielder, £9.5m

Saka is a dependable FPL asset because of his minutes, penalties and attacking threat from the right wing. Arsenal’s fixture strength and his consistent returns keep him among the most popular FPL picks.

  • Alexander Isak — Liverpool, Forward, £9.0m

Isak offers elite upside at a slightly lower price than Haaland, making him a valuable premium forward option. His move to Liverpool last season raised his appeal further, especially for managers looking for a high-ceiling striker without breaking the budget.

Owning several of these players can quickly eat into your overall budget, so FPL managers will need to decide whether to go heavy on premiums or spread funds more evenly across the squad.
