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

        Oh yeah you asked about Stan aswell didn't you. Apparently he's getting on really well. Gets himself down to the ground all the time and even wants to play again soon.

        I'm not expecting major things from Villa but definitely an improved season from the last one.

        I don't expect too many changes to the main 11 apart from I think Lichaj will get regular starts. Al Ahmedi might get a few starts and is also dirt cheap if you want a filler 5th mid but there will probably be a lot of rotation. I don't even think N'zog will be safe.

        All in all I think Villa players are cheap enough to warrant taking punts on them and I think the defence will do better than people expect under Lambert. Norwich were poor defensively yes, but that was also down to the fact that they had poor defenders.

      Truth is, no cheap players are nailed on at this stage. They are cheap for a reason and are the ones likely to be replaced with the many transfers still to be done.

    Two things, if I may:

    Firstly, what is meant by rotation and how can this idea be used to benefit my team?

    Secondly, could someone give their thoughts and advice on the following:

    de Gea - Federici
    Hooveld - Lescott - Cole - Enrique - Fabio
    Hazard - Holman - Sigurdsson - Sinclair - McClean
    Torres - Pogrebnyak - Jelavic

    I hope to swap Jelavic for Borini when he is added.

    My only fear is the midfield appears quite weak whereas the defence is pretty strong.
