How FPL Price Changes Work
FPL player prices fluctuate overnight based on the volume of net transfers made by managers. When you sell a player, you receive half of any profit made on their value increase, rounded down to the nearest £0.1m.

The Mechanics of Price Fluctuations
Player values are not static; they shift based on the net activity of the FPL community. When a high number of managers transfer a player in or out, it triggers a price movement of £0.1m. While we await the 2026/27 game launch, managers should monitor our /prices page to track these trends once the season begins.
Understanding Your Selling Price
A common point of confusion is the difference between a player's current market price and your selling price. Because you only retain 50% of the profit earned during your ownership, your selling price will often be lower than the current listing on the /players database. This profit is always rounded down to the nearest £0.1m, meaning you won't always see an immediate return on a single price rise.
Managing Team Value in 2026/27
Building team value is a long-term strategy for many managers. By using our /planner, you can simulate transfer moves to see how they impact your budget before committing. Remember that the FPL 2026/27 launch is not yet confirmed, so remain patient and watch for official updates on the game rules.

Is the FPL 2026/27 game live?
No, the official launch for the 2026/27 season has not yet been confirmed.
How often do prices change?
Prices update overnight based on the net transfer activity occurring across the game.
