Fantasy Premier League 2015/16 Is Now Open

2,878 Comments

It’s back. This morning, the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game opened its doors for registration ahead of the 2015/16 season, allowing Fantasy managers plenty of time to tinker before the action finally gets underway.

A quick look at the Price List shows only seven players will set you back at least 10.0 – three midfielders and four forwards, with Sergio Aguero the costliest option at 13.0.

Elsewhere, Tottenham’s Harry Kane has been handed a bumper price rise on the back of 21 goals and five assists last season – at 9.5 this time around, he’s no longer budget friendly. Premier League new boys Memphis Depay and Roberto Firmino will both set you back 8.5 – as expected, the duo are listed as midfielders.

The big news, however, concerns a number of new rules to the game. Fantasy managers are handed three chips which they can only play once in a season. This comprises the following:

Bench Boost – Fantasy managers will receive all points from their 15-man squad in a chosen Gameweek.

Triple Captain – allows us to collect three times our selected captain’s score in a specified Gameweek.

All-Out Attack – this allows you to field a 2-5-3 formation in a chosen Gameweek.

It’s worth noting that we cannot use any of these chips in the same Gameweek as a Wildcard. In addition, Fantasy managers can only use one chip in a chosen round of fixtures.

On the subject of Wildcards, there’s been a significant change. Fantasy managers are now handed one wildcard for each half of the season – if you don’t use your first one before Gameweek 20, you lose it. Subsequently, there is no longer a set period for a winter Wildcard.

We now have 30 days to fine-tune our 15-man squads until United and Spurs go head-to-head in the early lunchtime kick-off on Saturday, August 8 at 12.45pm.

As always, we’ll be rolling out a series of Player Price List articles over the upcoming days, breaking them down by position.

For now, though, this is just a heads-up. Enjoy.

      Prodl is a big centre back. Pretty sure he's not on set pieces.

      Mathews might be first choice. The Sunderland fan on here (Sessegnon grav) reckons he will be.

    I can see Rooney being an Aguero placeholder in a lot of teams.

    If I were looking for just a GW1 placeholder, I'd rather get Lukaku.

      I currently have B and C in conjunction with Fabregas. I just think early in the season Fabs performs very well, so Haz may not prove to be worth the substantial extra initially.

          I'll reserve judgement there, Ivan gets goals early in the season.

            Azpi down in my team too. I know theres still question marks over his gametime but he looks a bargain if nailed which he should be. Ive heard a few rumours of Luiz transfers

      a) Starts slow.
      b) Good option.
      c) Overpriced

    I think United will have a tight defence this year. Darmain, a new CB and schneiderlin protecting it. Im going for Shaw.

    I really like how the BPS changes each year, its little things like this that makes it interesting, not the big overhauls. Its nice and subtle.
    Well for me anyway.
