Unlike summer transfers, where the new players get their price and ICT values updated with the other existing players in the Premier League, January transfers hit the ground running. There are a couple of different scenarios which we will look at and see how they affect the new players joining EPL. We have also provided a link to the complete list of transfers for the January window at the end of this post.

Player transferred from one PL team to another

Top teams have a lot of players who do not even make it to the bench, these players are often loaned out to smaller clubs for match sharpness and development. They initially start with a low price and decrease in price in the first half of the FPL season as managers notice these players wont be starting. Such players become a instant hit when they are transferred/loaned to a smaller club because of the points per million they can provide. For example, Solanke from Liverpool started the season at 5.0m but has eventually fallen to 4.7m. He is in talks for a loan move with multiple EPL clubs like Crystal Palace and Brighton. If the talks are successful, he can be a good way to have a third playing striker.

Rules regarding such players:

The price of a player transferred from one EPL club to another remains the same.

of a player transferred from one EPL club to another remains the same. If this transfer takes you over the players per team limit, then you will need to go back under the limit when making your next transfers.

Player transferred from outside EPL or free transfer

Players transferred from outside FPL are the easiest to be included in FPL. Managers are keen on the starting position they are sorted into and the price. As per initial pricing of any other player, the prices of such players are started of as multiples of 0.5m and change according to the ownership values like any other player. Example, West Ham have transferred in Samir Nasri on free transfer and Chelsea are in talks for transferring in Pulisic from Dortmund.

Rules regarding such players:

New players will be added within 7 days of their transfer being completed.

Starting price will be a multiple of 0.5m.

Players transferred out of EPL

Just as players are transferred into EPL, it may happen that a player in your team is transferred out by the club. Gladly there have been no talks of any highly owned player being transferred out of EPL yet, except maybe, Van La Parra, from Huddersfield who has been sent to Middlesbrough for the rest of the season. He will stay red flagged for the remainder of the season.

Rules regarding such players:

You can leave the player in your squad, where he will continue to earn 0 points.

To remove him permanently, you must use a transfer.
