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

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        shittu was just bad...doesn't even play lol but the rest of the defence vidic, kompany, gibbs...not too bad? The mid deffo needs tinkering...Lampard may have to go to sort it.

          Yeah, mainly just didn't like the midfield, can't go wrong with Vidic, Kompany's value will depend on how the bps turn out. Gibbs is ok currently I guess .. might steal that one from you

      On initial reflection, the prices are good. Not a case of just throwing in the big names and bobs your uncle, players such as midfielders in 5.5 - 6.5 bracket are gonna be big in terms of getting the right ones at the right time. Still managed to make a team with 2 big / fair expensive players in def, mid and up top.
