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

      He was in my first draft, to then be replaced by Torres.

      Could still come in as a straight swap for Suarez if he's rested at the beginning of the season.

    Even though prices are inflated, I'm struggling to fulfill my budget. I dont want the likes of Lampard and Gerard in my team, and Fabregas and Tevez I expect to leave.

    I can see the FantasyFootballScout private league by default in my profile.
    Is it a different one from the one with the code 490-626 that you gave in the article?
    I cannot enroll in the 490-626 one so I'd presume I'm in there already as is everybody else? But why would you give it in the article then?

        I think the prices are too much, but every start of a season I am thinking the same, how we can put together team with that prices, but after some tinkering we'll work it out. But Lamps in his age and last injury season is too expensive. He should be like 2008 11.0m

        But so be it.

    Camzy's FPL Strategy for next season:

    Camzy says:
    May 26 at 3:20 pm
    Thinking about initial strategies for next season already.

    Here’s probably what I’m going to do. Using examples from this season.

    2 cheap rotating goalies (Robinson, Harper, Mignolet, Begovic)

    1 expensive defender (Baines, Kompany, Vidic, Alex)
    1 mid-price goal threat defender (Huth, Hangeland, Samba)
    2 playing defenders for mid table teams with nice alternating fixtures, probably a cut price Liverpool full back and/or OoP prospects (Flanagan, Kelly, Coleman, Bardsley, Enrique, Walker)
    1 playing cheap as chips 3rd sub defender (Evatt, Jara, Simpson)

    2 midfield lynchpins (Gerrard, VDV, Lampard, Fabregas, Nani, Silva)
    1 mid price “differential,” probably will choose according to fixtures (Dempsey, Nasri, Bale, Walcott, Downing)
    2 value mids, one probably very cheap (N’Zogbia, Adam, Barton, Albrighton)

    2 big strikers (RVP, Tevez, Suarez, Rooney, Drogba)
    1 punty mid priced striker (Jones, Carroll, Hernandez if less than 9.0)

    That will definitely be possible budget wise, and it’s strong for rotation. Hopefully, I’ll have enough funds to get a massive attack. It’s going to be hard to choose between RVP, Tevez, Rooney, Suarez and Drogba/Torres. Will have to see pre-season form, fixtures etc.

    Bring on the new season!
