Erling Haaland (Man City)

• Price: £15 million (most expensive ever in FPL).

• Fixtures: Chelsea (A), Ipswich (H), West Ham (A), Brentford (H), Arsenal (H).

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

• Price: £12.5 million (same as last season).
• Consistently scores over 200 points each season.

• Expected to be one of the best captain options early in the season.

Goalkeepers

• Jordan Pickford (Everton) and Bernd Leno (Fulham) at £5 million.
• Both performed well last season and hence their higher price.
• Consideration: Look for a 4.5 million goalkeeper with decent fixtures for better budget allocation.

Newly Classified Forwards

• Decent option depending on the price of other Arsenal attackers like Saka.
• Fixtures: Wolves (H), Villa (A), Brighton (H), Spurs (A), City (A).

Richarlison (Spurs) - £7 million

• Possible good value if he stays fit and plays as a number 9.

Cheap Defenders

Taylor Harwood-Bellis (Southampton) - £4 million

• Played 46 games, scored 2 goals, provided 4 assists last season.

• Super attacking last season but difficult fixtures initially.
• Potential to become an option later in the season.
• Fixtures: Liverpool (H), City (A), Brighton (A), Forest (H).

Ricardo Pereira (Leicester) - £4.5 million
