Christopher Nkunku, Kai Havertz and James Maddison are the joint-most expensive new signings in Fantasy Premier League 2023-24.
After their big-money summer moves, all three players have been priced at £7.5m in this year’s FPL.
Nkunku joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig, Kai Havertz joined Arsenal from Chelsea, and James Maddison left newly-relegated Leicester City to sign for Tottenham Hotspur.

Nkunku is the only one of the three to have not been in FPL 2022-23, but the Frenchman scored 16 goals and provided six assists in just 26 Bundesliga appearances last season.
As for Havertz and Maddison, the latter enjoyed a slightly better FPL campaign last year, notching 135 Fantasy points compared to Havertz’s 102. However, the Germany international was classified as a forward in 2022-23, meaning he scored fewer points per goal and did not receive a clean sheet point.
Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea), Mason Mount (Manchester United), Dejan Kulusevski (Tottenham) and Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool) are all £7m in this season’s FPL and are tied for the title of the fourth-most expensive new signing in Fantasy Premier League 2023-24.

Jackson racked up 16 goal involvements (10 goals and six assists) in just 16 league starts last season, and Szoboszlai was involved in 14 (six goals and eight assists) for Leipzig.
