List of All Previous FPL Winners

Fantasy Premier League has grown enormously over the last several years and there are few signs of it slowing down. Winning it outright — finishing first of more than eleven million teams — is one of the hardest things to do in fantasy sport.

More every year. The five most recent winners have averaged 2,762 points, against 2,293for the first five seasons of the game — a rise of 469 points, or roughly thirteen a gameweek.

The highest winning total on record is 2,844, set by Jamie Pigott in 2021/22. The lowest, 2,151 in 2003/04, would not have come close in any recent campaign.

Only 4 winners have ever passed 2,700, and all of them since 2021. Better information is the likely cause: predicted lineups, expected goals and price change data are all now freely available, and the standard at the top has risen with them.

2025/26 bucked that: 2,582 is 228 fewer than the season before and ended a run of 4 straight campaigns won with more than 2,700. Whether that is a blip or the ceiling settling is the interesting question.

The average winning score across all 23 seasons is 2,522. If you want to know where your own record places you, our all time FPL rank checker compares every season you have played against every other manager.

Yes. Premier League footballers are allowed to play Fantasy Premier League — there are no rules within FPL or regulations from the FA prohibiting it.

Individual clubs may forbid it, though, because the transfers a player makes could leak lineup information. The problem became prevalent enough that players were formally warned to avoid selecting teammates, and it is safe to assume a number play under an alias.

If you want to know which players are actually worth owning rather than which players own teams, our predicted starting lineups and points predictor are the places to start.
