Some managers chose to go against the tide of course, and are currently regretting that decision. The reason for the regret is the humongous transfer values of these must-haves in the 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League season. After the points haul from last season, it only made sense that the developers increased many player prices. This season will require a lot of planning, more than previous seasons, as well as study and…

Interestingly, the only…
