FPL 2012/13 Is Now Open

And we’re off….Having released the Player Price List earlier on this week, the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game is now officially up and running for the 2012/13 campaign, allowing us to tinker with our teams ahead of the big kick-off on Saturday August 18:

In conjunction with Tuesday’s revelation, our coverage of the player valuations continues to pick up pace. Having rolled out our analysis of the Goalkeepers and Defenders, we followed that up with a look at the Midfielders earlier this afternoon – no prizes for guessing the Forwards are on tomorrow’s agenda.

For now, though, let’s not waste any further time – our patience has been tested enough. Head off to the official site and get your team registered for the new season, folks, and let the planning begin.

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

    Just reading Chris Glover's blog "... the ability to earn an assist for winning a free kick may be new (I honestly can't remember last year's rules)." Neither can I. Anyone?

      "In the event of a penalty or free-kick, the player earning the penalty or free-kick gets an assist if a goal is directly scored, but not if he takes it himself, in which case no assist is given."

      I definitely remember reading this phrasing in last year's rules. It's not new.

          Isacki's thing can be downloaded here http://uefacouncil.wordpress.com/

          If you are referring to the 3 team rotation sheet, there is a link to it on the spreadsheet I gave you

            Ta for the link Mila but just to say we won't be linking it from FFS anymore - probably best to avoid on the fixture copyright side.

    Going to avoid any Utd attackers for now anyway, Rooney is the only safe bet, will be Rotation between Nani/Valencia/Young/Kagawa/Chico/Welbeck so beware to see how things pan out first few weeks.

      If Utd change their formation, I can see Kagawa nailed on.

        not a chance he's nailed on, we'll still play chicha and welbeck their fair share, especially when the CL comes around

      Ronney is definitely the only safe bet.

      I think Tony V will start on the right and then its up in their between Nani/Young on the left and either Kagawa behind Rooney or Chico or Welbs partnering.

          Nah, just making an insignificant comment. I like to keep my FFS use private from mates/colleagues so have entered my 'brothers' team into the league. Said team will have some serious flair to it.
