The Scout reveals the 11 players whose position in Fantasy Premier League<\/a> has been reclassified ahead of 2025\/26, and provides analysis.<\/p>\n

Matheus Cunha, Omar Marmoush and Jarrod Bowen are among the big names to have been handed a change of position in Fantasy this season.<\/p>\n

Manchester United\u2019s new signing Cunha<\/strong> has been reclassified from a forward to a midfielder after moving from Wolverhampton Wanderers over the summer.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian is expected to feature as a No 10 in Ruben Amorim\u2019s 3-4-2-1 set-up, similar to his role for Wolves last season.<\/p>\n

Cunha claimed his career-high total of 178 points in the LAST campaign, scoring 15 goals and assisting a further eight.<\/p>\n

He could now challenge Bruno Fernandes as the go-to Red Devils\u2019 asset, particularly if he takes a share of the Portuguese\u2019s set-piece duties.<\/p>\n

Manchester City\u2019s Marmoush<\/strong> also changes from a forward to a midfielder this season in Fantasy.<\/p>\n

The Egyptian predominantly featured as an attacking midfielder after joining Pep Guardiola\u2019s side midway through the previous campaign.<\/p>\n

Marmoush was a major all-round influence on Man City\u2019s attack after making his debut in Gameweek 23.<\/p>\n

His 49 shots and 27 shots in the box were both team-leading totals during that spell.<\/p>\n

Similarly, his eight big chances created \u2013 situations where the player is expected to score \u2013 were also more than any team-mate.<\/p>\n

Bowen<\/strong>, meanwhile, switches from a midfielder to a forward due to his new role under Graham Potter for West Ham United last season.<\/p>\n

After taking charge of the Hammers in Gameweek 20, Potter opted for a 3-5-2 formation, with Bowen playing up front.<\/p>\n

That proved crucial to the England star\u2019s exceptional second half of 2024\/25 Fantasy.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Bowen was the fourth top-scoring player in Fantasy from Gameweek 20 onwards, amassing 103 points thanks to eight goals and five assists.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo<\/strong> becomes an FPL midfielder after mostly playing on the left side of the Reds’ attack last season, while Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly<\/strong> becomes a defender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Scout reveals the 11 players whose position in Fantasy Premier League has been reclassified ahead of 2025\/26,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":277965,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[748,393,4884,12,1144,712,661,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-277964","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-northern-ireland","13":"tag-scotland","14":"tag-text","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114886890202097964","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277964\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
