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

    THis is a new feature, 'Player Exchange' which seems to be some sort of player trading thingy, a bit like that Beeb thing Betdaq, or Celebdaq, or whatever it was called.

      Yeah it's not up yet http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/gaming/player-exchange.html
      I'm curious how the price rises will match up with FPL. Will it have any influence I wonder.

    Assists

    Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the last touch before the goal is scored.

    If after this touch, an opposing player touches the ball outside the penalty area altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is given, except if this intervention directly results in an own goal.

    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.

    All assists are reviewed daily but remain provisional until verified by the Press Association. For the avoidance of doubt, points awarded in-game are subject to change until the Gameweek closes. Once a Gameweek closes, no further adjustments to points will be made.

    Here is the conspiracy

      I've got 4 seasons of history on this email address, and each year I've improved.

      Hopefully I can get into the low thousands this year.

      Keeping it real yo.
