Fantasy Premier League is getting a glow-up.
The 2025/26 season brings several changes aimed at making the game more exciting and engaging – especially for casual players and mini-league fun-seekers. We’re talking about AFCON transfers, simplified assist rules, and doubled chips. Yes, you read that right: this season, the average FPL manager is likely to score higher and have more chances to feel like a genius.
And we think that’s great.
Some purists might moan that the game is being “dumbed down". But we disagree. At FPL.fun, we've always believed that Fantasy Premier League should be about enjoying football with your friends, not sweating over expected goals or rage-quitting after one bad week.
More assists? Great - let the game reflect what fans actually celebrate.
Double chips? Cool - more reasons to banter in the group chat.
More points? Why not - it makes mini-league updates way more exciting.
FPL is tweaking the rules to boost engagement, but if you want to take things to the next level, there’s a simple trick:
👉 Split the cost of an FPL.fun subscription with your league mates.
It’s only £45/season for the entire league. So if you’ve got 10 people in your mini-league, that’s just £4.5 each. Less than a pint per season.
In return, you get:
From Gameweek 1 to Gameweek 38, FPL.fun makes your league feel alive.
FPL isn’t a spreadsheet competition - it’s a game. And games are meant to be fun. With these new rule changes and a league that lives and breathes alongside the football, you’re guaranteed a more exciting, more social season.
So get your mates in. Chip in. And let the chaos begin.
