Best New Signings to Buy in FPL 2026/27
The best new signings to buy in FPL 2026/27 are led by Morgan Rogers, whose club-record £118.7m move from Aston Villa to Chelsea already makes him a top-five owned midfielder. Elliot Anderson’s British-record switch to Manchester City is the standout budget-midfield enabler, while Chelsea’s attacking arrivals offer differentials. Judge every signing on nailed minutes and role, not transfer fee — reputation prices don’t guarantee FPL points.
Morgan Rogers — the new signing who’s already template
Rogers completed a club-record £118.7m move from Aston Villa to Chelsea, the biggest known fee of the window, and has already climbed to roughly 37% ownership — a top-five most-owned player before a ball is kicked.
The FPL appeal is role: an attacking midfielder stepping into a Chelsea side alongside João Pedro, with the goal-and-assist profile that scores in FPL. If his price and minutes hold up, he is a genuine mid-price template pick rather than a reputation punt.
Elliot Anderson — the budget-midfield enabler
Anderson moved from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City for a reported €135m, a British-record fee — but the FPL angle is his likely budget price tag, seen around £5.5m in early drafts.
A nailed City midfielder at that price is an ideal enabler: it frees funds for Haaland while banking minutes and the odd attacking return. Watch his role under rotation — City’s depth means his security of starts is the key question.
Chelsea’s attacking arrivals — the differential pool
Beyond Rogers, Chelsea have been the summer’s busiest attacking market — arrivals such as Emmanuel Emegha up front and Alejandro Garnacho on loan add low-owned differential options if they nail starting roles.
Differentials from a big spender can swing your mini-league if they start, but a crowded Chelsea front line makes minutes the deciding factor — wait for pre-season line-ups before buying. The safest Chelsea route into your squad remains Rogers or João Pedro until the newer names show their minutes.
