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.

    I'm stuck between two 5.5 midfielders Frazer or Brunt?

    Bournemouth score goals for fun and Frazer is a great wee player

    Brunt set piece/free kicks plus they have good fixtures

      nice team

  7. Sir Alpha
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Realised I don't have Alli in my squad and squeezing him will be a challenge. For a midfield three what do you feel is best and why?

    A: Sanchez, Sane and Wanyama
    B: Alli, Sane and Willian (Or any other 7.0 mid)

    Note my front three are Lukaku, Kane and Firmino

    1. Asane Mink
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      B, just because

    2. Tomwarwick20
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      B - Wanyama won't get you points

    Hey lads, please rate my team and offer suggestions. Currently got:

    Pickford (Elliott)
    Lindelof Trippier Cedric Hunemeier
    Alli Pedro Loftus-Cheek Knockaert Stanislas
    Kane(C) Lukaku King

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

      I'm not sure if king will be as much of a goal threat as to last season now they have Defoe...

    The comments section cracks me up.

    After spending a few hours last night and a few hours this morning reading the influx of comments about Rate my Team I must have seen 382,000 different team combinations !!

    Obviously everyone posting has enough interest to join this website but surely after 382,000 combos there should by now be a consensus on the top 25- 30 players to choose from 🙂

    Let me close by saying, I have this page open, the FPL transfer page open, my Excel 'Team Picker' spreadsheet open and still I have made 342 trades in two days and the laffer is I almost, and I mean ALMOST, clicked the 'confirm' the Free Hit wildcard 🙁

    So what do you guys think about trade #349
    Heaton
    Forster
    David Luiz
    Mee
    Trippier
    Keane
    Baines
    Loftus Cheek
    Alli
    Coutinho
    Allen
    Capoue
    Kane
    King
    Firmino

    1. Asane Mink
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Too much money on defence imo, upgrade midfield instead

    2. Manas810
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      where is a arsenal attacking
      player

  14. Devils Hunter
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Hi guys, please do take a look at my team and kindly assist me to make it better...

    Foster
    Elliot

    Cédric
    Daniels
    Hünemeier
    Rangel
    Yedlin

    Tadic
    Loftus-Cheek
    Alli
    Kanté
    Coutinho

    Lukaku,Kane,Lacazette

    Formation: 3-4-3

    Any suggestions?

    1. Jake.l_8
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kante isn't a good option - won't get you any points

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

      i wouldnt go for tadic

  15. Jake.l_8
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Have 34m in bank what 3 strikers should I get?
    Should I downgrade in the midfield to have more money for the forwards?

  16. Jake.l_8
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Alli or Coutinho?

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

      Alli

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

      i'd have both in my team

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Alli but I'm also opting for both at present, unless pre-season indicates that Coutinho will suffer in a potentially more reserved role (I dont think he will, as I expect him to attack from deep alot when Mane is fit).

  17. rclark1988
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Any advise would be helpful

    Foster
    Bailly / aldeweireld / luiz
    Knockaert / fabregas / silva / alli
    Kane / gayle / lukaku

    Elliot / romeu / hünemeier / rangel

      seems a bit strong!

      mee at 4.5 would be a more nailed 3rd?

  21. Jake.l_8

    6 years, 8 months ago

    Should I put more money into my defence or keep the money in my MIDs and FWDs?

    GK - Begovic, Forster
    DEF - Lindelof, Cedric, Francis, Yedlin, Hunemeier
    MID - De Bruyne, Alli, Mkhitaryan, Ritchie, Loftus Cheek
    FWD - Lukaku, Lacazette, Gabbiadini
