Our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points projections for 2025/26 are now live!
Not sure on which draft to pick? The Rate My Team (RMT) tool can help out. It can predict how many points your own team will score over a series of upcoming Gameweeks.
Of course, figures will be fine-tuned closer to the Gameweek 1 deadline as we learn more information.
Below, we can see the estimated highest-scoring players until Gameweek 8, but you can get the full picture here.
Our thanks to the brains behind the scenes, TopMarx and Chris Atkinson, for their work on this.
FPL GAMEWEEKS 1-8 FPL POINTS PROJECTIONS: GOALKEEPERS
Top picks, team reveals, strategy guides, find it all fo the new season in our 2025/26 essential guide.
Early on, the tool backs FPL’s heavyweight goalkeepers, but it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on Ederson‘s (£5.5m) transfer situation.
If he leaves and James Trafford does indeed become his replacement, managers suddenly have a £5.0m route into Manchester City’s backline. But Robert Sanchez is currently seen as the best at this price.
David Raya (£5.5m) was a joint winner of 2024/25’s Golden Glove, as Arsenal conceded the fewest goals (34), big chances (58) and shots on target (120). But nicer fixtures put Alisson (£5.5m) in the number one spot. After all, no team kept more clean sheets than champions Liverpool.

It’s a massive addition to FPL. If these had existed last season, Josko Gvardiol (£6.0m) would have been overtaken as the best defender by Nikola Milenkovic (£5.5m), Murillo (£5.5m) and Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m).
While the purchase of Rayan Ait-Nouri (£6.0m) likely moves Gvardiol to centre-back, he remains the best-backed here.
After that, there’s a clear backing of Arsenal, Everton, Liverpool and Nottingham Forest assets. The Toffees conceded the joint-fourth fewest goals (44) of 2024/25 and have looked good under David Moyes, keeping three clean sheets in their final seven outings.
It’s even been revealed that James Tarkowski (£5.5m) would have brought in more DC points than anyone else, gaining them in 66.7% of appearances. Teammate Jarrad Branthwaite (£5.5m) is good at them too, just like Crystal Palace’s Maxence Lacroix (£5.0m).
Yet there’ll always be love for attacking full-backs such as Daniel Munoz (£5.5m) and Pedro Porro (£5.5m), with much anticipation over Jeremie
