With Fantasy Premier League (FPL) almost going on for 2025/26, we hear from our panel of guest writers.
Here Zophar organizes – who usually organizes a weekly Q&A session for us – Talk about the big FPL decisions on which he still goes back and forth.

Instead of my Q&A article that will return next week, I ask a few questions that remain in my mind, in the last weekend of friendly competitions for the season.
Morgan Rogers’ Fitness
A mainstay in almost all my FPL concepts, Morgan Rogers (£ 7.0 million) Last season played the most minutes of every outfield player from Aston Villa. Another European campaign comes for them, so I want someone I can trust.
However, with an ankle injury, he crashed only a few minutes after he ran into Roma. Although the latest news suggests that Unai Emery is “hopeful” that he might make the Newcastle United opener, Rogers will probably not be displayed in one of the friendly competitions of this weekend.
If there remains a positivity that he gets everything clear, do I still take a chance for someone who has a constant injury issue? Because I really don’t like the other alternatives to that price, or many underneath.
Do I want to invest in traces?
A kind of Tottenham Hotspur -Marature run lets us look at their defensive and attacking assets. But Dominic Solanke (£ 7.5 million) can still be seen after his ankle injury and the Bayern Munich missed friendly.
He may still play in the UEFA Super Cup next Wednesday, but again, I don’t like to take these risks. His problem could flare up at any time.
James Maddison‘s (£ 7.0 million) Long -term injury provides a huge blow to traces. I don’t think they have someone who can play that position, knowing that Deja’s Kulusevski (£ 6.5 million) is also put aside.
Pedro Porro (£ 5.5 million) will probably get more license to work in a playing role and need more set pieces during the absence of the English international. Although it is not cheap, he also did well for the defensive contribution (DC) points in friendly competitions.
That must be noted Mohammed Kudus (£ 6.5 million) has also taken a few set pieces. But how fluent in general will the traces be attacking?
How much Liverpool?
I looked at the newest friendly friend of the Reds against Athletic Club and, although I had seen a lot Florian Wirtz (£ 8.5 million) In the Champions League I was absolutely brought to the ground by his performance. He could have had a brace on the day, constantly popping up in very central penalty positions.
The German was perhaps too expensive and I think he could be an absolute gift. I only ignore him because I already have that Mohamed is wrong (£ 14.5 million)?
There is also the Alexander Isaac (£ 10.5 million) Question. By grabbing those two and Virgil van Dijk (£ 6.0 million), I would lock myself from Isak if – And it’s a big one – He finally passes.
An attacking Treble -up feels like too much, but they are all perfectly good assets in themselves. It is not something I am against. Van Dijk is also perhaps the best premium defensive choice.
Ignore Man City on my danger
The earlier club World Cup has limited the outings for the Manchester City season and ensured that they slide under the FPL radar.
But I expect that the Pep Guardiola side will be much better this season, and Erling (£ 14.0 million) has a history of stunning starts.
I calmed myself down by looking at their fixture run because it is not one of the best. Yet I expect that they are better than any of those opponents. That said, no Haaland competition brings a huge Captainincy potential to game week 6, and since I am reluctant to go without Salah, it would be necessary Cole Palmer (£ 10.5 million) to make room.
The Chelsea star also has a number of decent Captainincy competitions, so I am disgusting to make that sacrifice.
I think about the back Rayan Ait-Nouri (£ 6.0 million) will be an attacking monster and start most of their games. If I start for that prize without any defender, it will be difficult to go to him.
How sharp will Chelsea be?
We just learned that Levi Colwill (£ 5.0 million) will miss a considerable part of the season with an ACL injury. Along with Marc Cucurella (£ 6.0 million), he was the backbone of the defensive unit of Chelsea and also helped in their structure. He will be missed very much and the absence completely brings me the defense of Chelsea.
Palmer’s performance in the final of the Club World Cup has recovered some confidence in him, and I think Joao Pedro (£ 7.5 million). Although there is a risk that the Brazilian will share minutes Liam Delap (£ 6.5 million), I think he is too good to be omitted from the starting line -up and will be in more of them than we think.
That said, I think the lack of pre-season with both Palmer and Joao Pedro makes a little exaggerated.
Toffees
Everton is notorious for the poor starting of seasons and I think they also need an adjustment period in their new stadium.
Idiman Ndima (£ 6.5 million) is in my current design, but it is the attacking position that I have by far the least confident about. However, he checks different compartments: minutes, punishment and a good DC potential.
Am I too much about it? I get even more money from my defense and make it Rear seat (£ 7.5 million) instead? This week’s transfer speculation around Ndiaye is somewhat worrying.
