Fantasy Premier League 2017/18 Is Now Open

After teasing us with a list of player prices and the revelation of a new Free Hit chip over the last few days, Fantasy Premier League has finally opened for registration ahead of the 2017/18 season.

Launched a week earlier than last year’s July 19 date, we now have 30 days to assemble our 15-man squads before Arsenal and Leicester City get Gameweek 1 underway on Friday August 11.

A quick look at the Player Price list shows that Harry Kane and Alexis Sanchez are the priciest players on offer at £12.5m and £12.0m.

Kane’s average of 7.5 points per match (ppm) was more than any FPL regular last term, while Sanchez – who remains a midfielder – clocked up 6.9 ppm on his way to topping the charts with 264 points.

Last year’s most expensive player, Sergio Aguero drops from £13.0m to £11.5m – the same as Romelu Lukaku – with Manchester City team-mate Gabriel Jesus offering a cheaper alternative at £10.5m.

Meanwhile, City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne is one of just three midfielders priced in double-figures. The Belgian comes in at £10.0m on the back of 21 assists in 2016/17, with Chelsea’s Eden Hazard listed at £10.5m.

As we discovered yesterday, Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino is now re-classified as a forward – at £8.5m, he offers a cheaper route into the Reds’ attack than midfield trio Sadio Mane (£9.5m), Philippe Coutinho and Mo Salah (both £9.0m).

At the back, Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso is the most expensive defender in the game – the wing-back comes in at £7.0m after averaging 5.7 ppm in his first season at the Bridge.

As always, we’ll roll out a series of Player Price List articles over the next few days, breaking them down by classification and cost.

In the meantime, enjoy delving in and getting those opening squads built.

    Sorry to be asking this (as it's probably been asked a zillion times) but how do I find out my I/d number on FPL. Thanks.

    1. QPRUTD
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Go to gameweek history. You will see a number on the URL. That's it

  2. Waxys
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Willain, pedro, or Fabregas starting?

    is Ramsey nailed on?

    thats the one thing i havent sorted from my mids yet

    1. 7alwachi
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Ramsey nailed on, Arsenal signing someone Lemar doesn't change anything either.

      1. Waxys
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        done i'm getting ramsey now

      2. Morgs
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        How come you're so sure? I thought he wasn't nailed on last season and what's changed?

      Charity shield game will tell you

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Not really. It's a glorified friendly and can be misleading re GW1 line-ups

        1. Santi sensei
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I remember that Walcott wagon acouple years ago after CS.
          Ramsey is nailed in this case tho.

          1. Marmalade Forest
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Ozil, Sanchez and Lacazette are nailed on. AOC, Walcott, Iwobi, Giroud, Ramsey, Carzola, Welbeck and Perez all playing for one or two spots.

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Willian might be ok if Haz is out. Same for Pedro

      Ramsey should be, Lamar is an attacking lefty mid

  3. How I met your Mata
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    A or B
    A De gea and Francis
    B Begovic and Lindelof

    1. klopp4kop
      • 7 Years

      maguire will come in place of huth or morgan?

    2. Sess!
      • 13 Years

      I don't know how he's survived this long, he's garbage.

      1. Santi sensei
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        He's a legend. How dare you 😉

      2. Marcin the Pole
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        He's not, he's actually a very solid defender. Gets criticised cus he offers nothing going forwards.

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I need to know if it's him or Chilwell.

  5. Now I'm Panicking

    OR Number 1 this season - I can feel it in my bones!

    Foster Myhill
    Clyne Trippier Monreal/Mustafi Cedric Fuchs
    Sanchez Pogba Walters Puncheon 4.5
    Kane Lukaku JRod

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Not Puncheon again...

    2. makaveli123

      5/7

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        There's a lack of upper middle priced forwards again. No one's priced between 9 and 10m, except for Costa, but his situation is clear.

      2. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Reply fail. 🙂

    3. Sess!
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Not if you're relying on Burnley and West Brom attackers to get you points.

    4. Mr. Funny Name
      • 8 Years

      Big defence

    5. Syd.

        🙁

    6. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A 5-3-2 with that much spent on 3rd forward and 4th/5th midfielders?

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        5-3-2 some weeks, could also deploy 5-2-3, or 4-3-3

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Just that Deeney....spoiled the party

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        ...Holgate and Tadic other problems as well

    3. Budweiser
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Deeney meh
      Coutinho expensive for a 60-65m player
      Foster sucked last year
      Holgate has horrible fixtures and isn't nailed
      I'd go Trippier over Alde if Walker leaves
      No Kane

      4/10

      1. Budweiser
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        60-65m as in minutes.

    1. StalkingDwarf

  15. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    A question about the free hit chip. Can we make our normal free transfers / take transfers for hits prior to but in the same GW as we activate the chip?

    e.g. I want to get in Ali before his price rise and want to keep him in my team long term, so I transfer him in with my FT. I then choose to make further transfers using my free hit chip. When my team reverts, do I still have Ali?

    Thanks to anyone who knows.

  19. davies

    Thoughts on Arsenal defence?

    Thinking of Kolasinac @ 6.0

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Monreal

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        LCB

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      It all depends if he nails down LWB spot. If so, he is straight in my team. If Monreal has that spot, he'll be best bet. If they revert to 4 at back Kos is best priced.

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      We'll have to see him in action. Also want to see if Holding starts.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        That's it, I've a suspicion Holding is set to become part of a reliable back 3 with Monreal held in reserve in case of injuries etc as he is pretty versatile and they don't have another natural left back.

    4. Spokey
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Bellerin @ 6.0. I think he is the perfect wingback. He had small injury problems last season. I expect him to start when 100% fit.

  20. Gooner97
    • 10 Years

      Not keen on the two bargain basement defensive midfielders.
      Pogba if you must.
