FPL inflation: How has value for money changed across recent seasons? This plot tracks how many additional points you can buy each GW with an a £1m higher budget, since the start of 2021-22 📈

Some observations: - Price constraints ease for most of the season as prices adjust down towards outcomes - 2021-22 bucked this trend early, likely due to the high number of mid-season COVID postponements - Inflation dips (value for money increases) before chip season, when more points are on offer

- Purchase power hit its highest before GW2 of 22-23, when both Haaland and Salah were essential, and the game lacked budget enablers - This fell to an all-time low in the final GW of 22-23, when managers could afford near-optimal teams with normal budgets (@anthony.football's teams for reference)

In general, across recent seasons, you can buy just over 0.3 points per GW for £1m, on average. Therefore, +0.1 budget in GW1 tends to be worth around 1.2 points over the whole season. Currently (before GW12), the value of £1m is relatively high, at about 0.35 points (have a zoomed-out picture too)
