Fantasy Premier League announce 2025/26 position changes
A total of 11 players have been reclassified for the 2025/26 campaign, potentially boosting or decreasing their appeal to FPL managers.
Matheus Cunha is arguably the most prominent player to have had a positional change this season. The Brazilian has been reclassified from a forward to a midfielder, meaning he will now receive an additional point per goal and be eligible for clean sheet points.
Cunha scored 15 goals in the Premier League last season, earning a £62.5m transfer from Wolves to Manchester United.
Jarrod Bowen is among the player who have moved in the opposite direction. The West Ham captain is now classed as a forward in FPL. A fantasy favourite in recent seasons, the change perhaps reduces his appeal.
Other interesting changes are Cody Gakpo (Liverpool) and Omar Marmoush (Man City) from forward to midfielders. Marmoush scored seven times in 16 league appearances for City, following his January arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Elsewhere, Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal) and Keane Lewis-Potter (Brentford) have been reclassified from midfielders to defenders.
FPL position changes for 2025/26
Myles Lewis-Skelly – Arsenal (Midfielder to Defender)
Keane Lewis-Potter – Brentford (Midfielder to Defender)
Iliman Ndiaye – Everton (Forward to Midfielder)
Ryan Sessegnon – Fulham (Defender to Midfielder)=

Nikita Parris to join newly-promoted London City Lionesses from Brighton
Nikita Parris is poised to join Women's Super League side London City Lionesses after her contract with Brighton & Hove Albion expired. Parris is set to become the latest signing to join London City in a busy summer since their promotion. The club, which is owned by American investor Michelle Kang, have already completed the signings of Danielle van de Donk from Lyon, Sanni Franssi and Elene Lete from Real Sociedad, Isa Kardinaal from Ajax, Teyah Goldie from Arsenal and Poppy Pattinson, also from Brighton. Parris joined Brighton from Manchester United in summer 2024 and scored seven goals in 22 appearances for the club in last season's top flight. The 31-year-old made her senior debut for hometown club Everton in 2010, aged 16, and has since represented Manchester City, OL Lyonnes, Arsenal, United and Brighton. The winger helped Lyon to the Champions League in 2020 as part of a treble-winning campaign, and won the Women's Super League with City in 2016. She has twice won the FA Cup, with City and United, in 2017 and 2024, respectively. A member of England's Euro 2022 winning squad, Parris has won 74 caps for the Lionesses, scoring 17 goals, with her last appearance for the national team coming in February this year. The forward was left out of Sarina Wiegman's England squad for this summer's Euros. She described the decision as 'very disappointing' at the time but insisted she would not have done anything differently during the campaign. 'It's always hard when you get that sort of news,' Parris said in a podcast with Sky Sports. 'The biggest thing for me is that I gave it everything. People say, 'Do you have any regrets or anything you wish you would have done?' And I don't. 'Because of that, there's nothing I can say I wish I could've, would've, should've done.'

Liverpool Defender ‘Still Open to Leaving' This Summer
Why Andy Robertson's Liverpool Exit Feels More Likely Than Tsimikas Liverpool's summer transfer window has already delivered surprises, with Milos Kerkez arriving in a £40m move that strengthens the left-back position. But this signing has inevitably raised questions over the futures of Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas. David Lynch, speaking to Eddie Gibbs on Anfield Index, offered valuable insight into the situation, sharing why Robertson looks the more probable departure. Robertson's Openness to Change 'There was interest in Tsimikas last summer and you thought that he would be in a position to leave this summer but that hasn't been the case,' Lynch explained. While many assumed Tsimikas would move on, the Greek international appears content at Anfield for now. Robertson's stance, however, tells a different story. 'At the moment Andy Robertson seems more likely to go because he has made it clear that he wouldn't be against a departure to secure regular game time and he was open to the idea of the Atletico Madrid move,' Lynch revealed. This openness has been one of the more surprising aspects of the window, especially after Robertson's key role under Arne Slot during their title-winning campaign. Slot's Approach and Squad Evolution Arne Slot, fresh off delivering Liverpool's first Premier League title since 2020, has made it clear that no player's place is guaranteed. The addition of Kerkez signals a tactical evolution, with Slot favouring youth and flexibility. Robertson, now 30, may face a reduced role, something he reportedly finds hard to accept. It is worth noting that Tsimikas seems to have accepted his place. 'It does feel like that Tsimikas is happy to stay a little bit longer,' Lynch noted, suggesting the player sees value in being part of the squad even as a backup. Robertson, in contrast, has grown increasingly mindful of his minutes, perhaps sensing that his peak years demand regular starts, not rotation. Photo: IMAGO What Could Happen Next With weeks left in the window, activity around Robertson could heat up. Atletico Madrid are keen, and there is belief inside Liverpool that a suitable offer could trigger serious negotiations. 'Perhaps we can see some more activity regarding Robertson in the last few weeks of the window,' Lynch added. Liverpool fans will be watching closely, torn between sentiment and pragmatism. Robertson's contributions have been immense, but Slot's ambition to refresh the squad cannot be ignored. If Robertson departs, it will mark the end of an era but also signal the club's readiness to move forward with a fresh tactical identity.
