Olise to Real Madrid: FPL Impact of the Potential Blockbuster Move

According to BBC Sport, Real Madrid are preparing a huge £188m bid for Michael Olise, a transfer that would see the FWD move from Bayern Munich. For FPL managers, this potential blockbuster signing signals a new premium option, should he eventually feature in the game.

By the numbers

• Last season: 32 appearances
• Last season: 2,317 minutes
• Last season: 15 goals
• Last season: 19 assists
• Projected FPL points from last season (2025/26 scoring): ~181

The FPL verdict

While currently a rumour, a move to Real Madrid would undoubtedly place Michael Olise among the elite. His impressive attacking returns last season suggest he would be a premium-priced FPL asset, likely to start consistently given the scale of the reported transfer fee. His 15 goals and 19 assists point to significant FPL attacking potential.

Olise's playing style as a forward is geared towards direct goal contributions, making him a strong candidate for FPL points from goals and assists. As a forward, he would not earn defensive-contribution (DEFCON) points. His potential as a differential would depend on his FPL price and initial ownership, but his high ceiling makes him an exciting prospect.

FPL managers will need to await official confirmation of any transfer and his eventual inclusion in the game to assess his exact FPL price and confirmed position. However, if this move goes through, Olise would be a player to watch closely.
