<h3>Chelsea agree £117m Rogers deal</h3>
While it&#8217;s not yet completed, Morgan Rogers looks to be Chelsea-bound after Aston Villa agreed to sell him for £117m.
Rogers has been a key part of the Villa attack over the last couple of seasons, scoring 10 and assisting eight in 2025/26.
Xabi Alonso will need to work out how best to fit both him and Cole Palmer into his starting 11.
Both are naturally number 10s, however Rogers has come in off both sides while playing under Unai Emery.
The key question for fantasy managers is whether Rogers will continue to be a reliable minutes magnet &#8211; he missed just two league games for Villa in the last two seasons.

<h3>Defensive contributions magnet Anderson joins City</h3>
Elliot Anderson was the fifth highest scoring midfielder in the game last season.
He scored four and assisted five, however it was a joint high 52 points from the new <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-defcon-points-watch">defensive contributions</a> systems that rocketed him up the leaderboard.
This, combined with regular minutes and a budget price tag, made him a popular &#8211; if a little under-rated &#8211; FPL pick.
His £116m move to Manchester City could complicate his FPL appeal though.
Anderson could be more vulnerable to rotation at City and there may not be as many defensive contributions on offer, although Rodri has demonstrated there are still some points to be earned for the Cityzens&#8217; central midfielders.

<h3>Salah&#8217;s exit impacts on FPL prices</h3>
Mohamed Salah leaving Liverpool has perhaps the biggest impact on FPL this summer.
Recent pre-seasons have been dominated by debate over whether to pick Salah, Erling Haaland or both.
But losing premium pick Salah &#8211; who holds the record for most points in a single season &#8211; could make Haaland more of a no-brainer.
FPL pricing will surely have to reflect this, with a potentially hefty price increase for other top players.
Salah, who had a disappointing final season, could be on his way to Turkish club Besiktas, although doubts over the deal going through have emerged over the weekend.

<h3>Gordon and Tonali exits leave gaps for Newcastle</h3>
Newcastle&#8217;s lack of European football could help them improve on last season&#8217;s 12th place finish.
Their early transfer business raises concerns though, with the Magpies raided by Barcelona for Anthony Gordon and Spurs for Sandro Tonali.
There has been talk of Bruno Guimaraes leaving too, with Arsenal circling, but talk has cooled recently.
If he stays, Guimaraes could take on a greater share of penalties and set-pieces, increasing his FPL potential.
But fantasy fans will want to see the gaps plugged, with Ivory Coast midfielder Bazoumana Toure not enough to do so.
The Hoffenheim winger scored five and assisted 12 in the Bundesliga last season, mainly operating on the left.
<div id="attachment_78430" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-78430" class="size-full wp-image-78430" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-2262341072.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-2262341072.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-2262341072-300x200.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/GettyImages-2262341072-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />Anthony Gordon.

<h3>Spurs spend big &#8211; but limited current FPL interest</h3>
Spurs have spent big as they attempt to significantly improve on their consecutive 17th place finishes.
Jan Paul van Hecke and Anderson-matching defensive contributions defender Marcos Senesi have joined from Brighton and Bournemouth respectively.
Regular gametime for both may depend on whether one or both of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven leave the club.
Tonali and Mateus Fernandes signed for sizeable fees and should improve De Zerbi&#8217;s midfield, even if they will not be go-to FPL options.
Elsewhere, Andy Robertson provides competition at left-back for Destiny Udogie and Djed Spence.
Spurs will be a team to watch in <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-pre-season-results-guide">pre-season</a>, however FPL interest in their summer signings may be limited for now.
<div id="attachment_73737" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-73737" class="size-full wp-image-73737" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Senesi-3.jpg" alt="Marcos Senesi.

<h3>Manchester United&#8217;s midfield rebuild underway</h3>
United have said farewell to Casemiro, who played an integral role in helping the Red Devils qualify for the Champions League.
Investment in midfield has been needed for some time and Casemiro&#8217;s departure, as well as a long-term knee injury for Manuel Ugarte, has made that even more crucial.
United have added Chelsea&#8217;s Andrey Santos and Aston Villa&#8217;s Youri Tielemans, while they are widely expected to add another defensively minded option. A transfer for Atalanta&#8217;s Ederson appears to have collapsed.
Michael Carrick&#8217;s summer business is a work in progress &#8211; and there&#8217;s been nothing yet to displace Bruno Fernandes from being the United player of choice for FPL managers.
<div id="attachment_77038" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-77038" class="size-full wp-image-77038" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Carrick.jpg" alt="Michael Carrick.

<h3>Brighton moving to a back three?</h3>
While Brighton have sold defenders Van Hecke and Diego Coppola, they have brought in Leeds&#8217; Pascal Struijk and Luka Vuskovic from Spurs &#8211; the latter for a fee just short of £50m.
If these newcomers are expected to play regularly and the ageing Lewis Dunk is not phased out, might Fabian Hurzeler be planning a long-hinted move to a back three?
The Seagulls have also spent £5.0m on 27-year-old centre-back Michael Svoboda from Venezia and Olivier Boscagli could be trusted with more minutes if he is not tempted elsewhere.
Pre-season will hopefully reveal how Hurzeler plans to set up his backline in 2026/27. In their opening friendly, Hurzeler stuck with a back four.

<h3>Cucurella out but Chelsea spending set to continue under Alonso</h3>
Xabi Alonso is one of numerous new managers in the Premier League this season and Chelsea&#8217;s owners have already provided him with some new faces to integrate.
Sporting teenager Geovany Quenda is a winger who played as a wing-back under former boss Ruben Amorim. The 19-year-old scored six and assisted nine in all competitions last season.
Full-back Marco Palestra, 21, set them back £47m and can play on the right or left. He managed a goal and four assists in Serie A.
Palestra is more one to watch, with Reece James the Blues&#8217; main right full-back option. He could pick up more minutes though given Marc Cucurella has joined Real Madrid, while Malo Gusto has been linked with a move as well.
A central midfielder is high on Chelsea&#8217;s list, with Granit Xhaka among those rumoured to have attracted interest.
And as we&#8217;ve noted above, Rogers is set to be another £100m plus purchase.
<div id="attachment_74233" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-74233" class="size-full wp-image-74233" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Cucurella-3.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="691" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Cucurella-3.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Cucurella-3-300x202.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Cucurella-3-768x518.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />Marc Cucurella.

<h3>Other key ins and outs: World Cup star Manzambi joins Villa, 22 goal Greek signs for Arsenal</h3>
Villa have reacted to a serious injury for Amadou Onana and Tielemans leaving by buying Wolves&#8217; Joao Gomes and Switzerland&#8217;s World Cup prospect Johan Manzambi.
Manzambi scored three and assisted two at the World Cup and netted five and set up five in the Bundesliga last season. He is one to monitor.
Villa are set to sell Lucas Digne &#8211; who often frustrated FPL owners &#8211; to Paris Saint-Germain.
Virgil van Dijk will be the preferred Liverpool FPL defender but he will have a new partner after the Frenchman completed a move to Madrid.
Jeremy Jacquet is poised to take over, with the 21-year-old earning a £55m transfer from Rennes.
Jaidon Anthony scored on his debut for Brentford and the ex-Burnley midfielder could threaten the minutes of both Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade.
Callum Wilson meanwhile will be a back-up to Igor Thiago at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Harry Wilson&#8217;s contract with Fulham expired, paving the way for Leeds to sign the 10 goal, nine assist Welshman. The Cottagers will also be without Raul Jimenez, who rejoined old club Wolves.
Promising young central midfielder Hayden Hackney has signed for Everton and Arsenal have reacted to Leandro Trossard heading to Turkey by purchasing Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge.
The Greek international scored an eye-catching 22 and assisted 29 in a busy season for the Belgian club, making 52 appearances.
