Fantasy Premier League (FPL) 2011/12 Is Now Open

Fancy Robin Van Persie at 12.0? Or how about Luis Suarez for 9.5? Then you can have ’em.

Yes folks, it’s the day (night) we’ve all been waiting for. It’s here. Finally.

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) has opened its doors for season 2011/12.

After a few false starts last week, with the new look needing one or two final tweaks, everything is now in order and we can begin to pick our squads ahead of the big kick-off on the 13th of next month.

So waste no more time and head on over to the Premier League official site to begin picking your fifteen.

We’ll have a further round-up of some of the prices in a little while but in the meantime, put off your bedtime for just a while. FPL is back.

Oh, and in case you are all wondering: Aleksander Kolarov is priced at 6.5. Don’t all rush at once, now.

Fantasy Football Scout League code is 490-626

    One Wildcard can be played at any time, the January Wildcard can only be used between Gameweeks 20 and 23 (2 Jan 11:30 to 4 Feb 11:30).

    So they've just adjusted the period for the 2nd wildcard then

          I've put down below why you should go for Holt over Hoolahan. Can't believe how tough it is to put a team together this year! But I think I'll have a draft in a few minutes.

      I'm bypassing Hoolahan myself, and that's coming from a Norwich fan. He isn't like Charlie Adam who will pick up bonuses easy. He doesn't take penos (not any more) and doesn't take frees. Not worth it. You'd be better off getting Holt over Hoolahan.
