10 bargains in the 2026/27 Fantasy Premier League season

Fantasy Premier League 2026/27 has launched and lovers of the game will already be planning their squads ahead of Arsenal's top-flight opener against Coventry City on Friday 21st August.

While the likes of Erling Haaland and Bruno Fernandes are often no-brainer selections -- irrespective of the price -- FPL managers are always on the hunt for underpriced gems who can demonstrate their value.

Only two players -- Haaland and Fernandes -- exceed the £9.5m price tag this time round, as opposed to five players in the 2025/26 campaign, and so there's certainly plenty of value to go at.

We've taken a look at 10 FPL bargains that you should consider for the 2026/27 season.

10 bargains in the 2026/27 FPL season

Antonin Kinsky - £4.5m (TOT)

People will understandably judge Tottenham Hotspur off the back of successive 17th placed finishes in the Premier League, but they showed signs of improvement under the stewardship of Roberto De Zerbi in the latter stages of the 2025/26 campaign and I anticipate a drastic improvement this term.

The additions of Marocs Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke and Andrew Robertson proves that they're desperately trying to shore up their defence.

With Guglielmo Vicario reportedly likely to depart, Antonin Kinsky is set to be trusted in between the sticks, and he should reap the rewards of a more assertive defence in front of him. At £4.5m, the Czech stopper represents good value.

Milan van Ewijk - £4.0m (COV)

Every newly-promoted defender is priced at £4.0m, but Milan van Ewijk appears the standout option.

The Dutch right-back thrived in a free-flowing Coventry side in the 2025/26 Championship season -- recording nine assists in 44 games -- and while his defensive responsibilities will increase, he can enjoy a productive season in the top-flight.

Ian Maatsen - £4.5m (AVL)

While Lucas Digne's exit for a small fee is far from ideal for Aston Villa, it should give Ian Maatsen an opportunity to stake a claim in Unai Emery's starting XI.

The Villans boasted the fifth best defence in the Premier League last season, guaranteeing clean sheet points, but it's Maatsen's attacking-minded nature that makes him a shrewd pickup at just £4.5m. If you're looking for a safer pick with perhaps a little less upside, Matty Cash started 34 top-flight games under Emery last term and also comes in at £4.5m.

Luke Shaw - £4.5m (MUN)

After years of injury struggles, Luke Shaw featured in all 38 games of a Premier League season for the first time in his career in the 2025/26 term.

While this feat was helped by the fact that Manchester United were -- for the most part -- only playing one game a week, it proves that he still has what it takes to play for the 20-time title winners at the top level.

It's naive to look past Man Utd defenders given their improvement under Michael Carrick, least of all Shaw who comes in at £4.5m as the Red Devils' starting left-back.

Iliman Ndiaye - £6.0m (EVE)

Everton's Iliman Ndiaye was heavily owned at the start of the 2025/26 FPL season with a £6.5m price tag to his name, and so at £0.5m less he's even more enticing.

Granted, he endured an inconsistent second Premier League season with the Toffees -- which wasn't helped by his involvement at AFCON -- but the quality is there for all for see and a midfield core of Hayden Hackney, James Garner and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall should only better the Senegalese forward's output.

Dominik Szoboszlai - £7.0m (LIV)

Dominik Szoboszlai's price hasn't shifted in spite of his best season in a Liverpool shirt, taking on greater responsibility and proving one of few shining lights in a dismal campaign for the reigning Premier League champions.

Scoring four free-kicks and assigned with corner kick duties in the 2025/26 season, the Hungarian's attacking threat increased significantly last term and he could yet take penalty kicks following the departure of Mohamed Salah.

This, combined with the fact that he is an elite presser in an Andoni Iroala system that relies on intensity, makes him an astute pick at £7.0m.

Morgan Rogers - £7.5m (CHE)

Morgan Rogers combines elite mid-priced value with a massive goal threat, recording 17 Premier League goal contributions for Aston Villa in the 2025/26 season.

There was an overarching sense that the England international could drastically increase in price following his £117m move to Chelsea, but he comes in at £2m cheaper than his club and international teammate Cole Palmer, despite outperforming the Manchester-born midfielder last year.

Dominic Solanke - £6.0m (TOT)

While Dominic Solanke's injury record is of concern, he's nearly always one to watch from an FPL standpoint at the start of the Premier League season, even more so at £6.0m.

The centre forward -- who joined the Spurs for £55m in 2024 -- will profit from a front-footed style of play under De Zerbi, while the availability of James Maddison and Mohammed Kudus will also benefit the 28-year-old substantially as he looks to become a mainstay for the North London outfit.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - £6.0m (LEE)

The fact that Dominic Calvert-Lewin's price has only increased by £0.5m after scoring 14 goals for a newly-promoted side is slightly bemusing, but it's hugely beneficial for FPL managers seeking a budget forward option.

The Leeds United striker gave Thomas Tuchel something to think about prior to the 2026 World Cup with an impressive debut campaign at Elland Road, and while he missed the cut at England, he'll be keen to prove that he's here to stay in the top-flight and represents superb value at £6.0m.

William Osula - £6.0m (NEW)

The fact that Newcastle United could be set to head into the 2026/27 season with William Osula as there starting number nine does reflect the misuse of funds following the £125m sale of Alexander Isak, but it also displays how highly Eddie Howe thinks of him.

All three Magpies strikers -- Osula, Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa -- are priced at £6.0m, and so whoever ties down the centre forward role could prove a steal, but for now it's the Danish 22-year-old who stands out after concluding the 2025/26 Premier League campaign with six goals in nine games.
