Our season-by-season Fantasy Premier League quiz is back with 20 questions on the 2016/17 campaign.

We’ve been gradually going back in time over the past few weeks and we’ve now reached the year of Chelsea’s title-winning campaign under Antonio Conte, Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola’s inaugural seasons in Manchester, and the All-Out Attack chip’s swansong in FPL.

There’ll be the usual blend of posers on Fantasy returns and underlying numbers, with some of the statistics and images featured taken from our Members Area.

As usual, the questions vary in difficulty from the gettable to the absurd – but we do at least give you four answers to choose from, for those with foggy memories or with better things to think about.

Click ‘next’ below to start the quiz and to cycle through the questions, and let us know how you got on in the comments section.

We’ll be back next week with the 2015/16 season.

    Just run a friendly where Burnley beat Liverpool 3-0. My first thought was that's the bit of code put in as a result of the real life Watford result.

      Not sure how much we can learn from virtual friendly stats for virtual games. I'm just going on anything learned from just 2 game weeks which is very little but may be a better pointer. So Cantwell was a bit attacking-involved (it's a word!) in first two games so I sold Hayden for him and benched Sarr. Captained Trent. May as well punt and fk it up with 35 GW to recover.

      Minimal negative OR adjustments will apply as overall number of transfers is a factor in determining overall rank. Taking a -4 right now would have a greater impact.

      Equally making no transfers may earn slight rank improvements. I've made 4FT in the past 5 GW's and my colossal OR of 403,673 in GW30 has increased to 404,054. Nominal adjustment.

          There’s also plenty of time on our hands to start checking on unimportant things which were once relatively important.

          Can’t sit indoors glued to Sky News worrying about COVID. Not much most of us can do about it other than stay in and try and find things to do...

          That comment was totally unnecessary and could be assigned to many things. People choose to keep busy in their own way and its not for others to deem what's important and what isn't.
          This is a fantasy football website and I had a fantasy football related question, so move on.

    Can't see any way the FPL season can finish given their reluctance to freeze the game and instead let gameweeks continue as normal. They may find a way to do something but a mega gw38 simply isn't an option. Thus far, people who have used their chips have, on average, had an advantage over those who were saving them. Is there an argument for taking an average score for each of the chips used and adding it to the scores of those who haven't used them in order to generate a fairer and more representative final rank? Only alternatives would be to void the season or just say though s*** it is what it is.

      Add gameweeks looks like the sensible option given where we are. It would have been preferable to have paused to match the football, but my guess is keeping clicks on site was critical to meet sponsorship contractual arrangements - only reason I can see for not pausing given the negative impact on the game.

      I suspect we'll be given an indication of what they hope to happen in terms of an ongoing plan, even if there's no actual detail, prior to GW38. Presumably they're holding off as long as possible on the off chance a formal plan for resumption (or abandonment) is announced by PL.

          I very much doubt they have to fully shut down one season before internally implementing any updates and prep ahead of the next one. Sure there will be a point where they need to get the new platform hosted by current web addresses etc, but that transfer isn't going to take months..

            But having time to get 7 million players to join and advertise the game is mission critical for them i imagine. I would take a guess that next season is more important than this one financially to them.

            Not as if anyone is going to throw dummy out and not play just because they don't like how this season went

              Might find it easier to mass up if they launch next season nearer the end of this one than normal. Also given some form of restrictions are may still be in place, I'll be shocked if we dont see records smashed. Anyway everything is pure speculation right now.

                It certainly is. I don't think anything is on or off the table . I don't think we will know this time next month way its going. Yesterday it looked like more chance of the season continuing, now more clubs wanna end it hard to know who to belive and who wants clicks

        It would be a ridiculous way to do it when they could just add weeks. Of course it could happen but I think very unlikely.

        I guess it might be trickier if they have to do new game weeks every three days if that’s how the league gets played out but again It’s speculation albeit something like that will happen if they decide to finish it. Which I think they will.

          Yeah this is what I'm saying. Being ridiculous doesn't mean it's off the table. Doing something ridiculous is definitely something FPL would do. Just like allowing the game to continue with zero games week after week is ridiculous, yet that's exactly what is happening.

          If they add extra GWS all the H2H leagues will be messed up even more than they are already. It's lose-lose for them.

    Assuming FPL restarts when the league presumably restarts will those who used transfers from GW31 to 35 have done the right thing in order to clean up their squad? I made a transfer every week and have 2 FT ready to use when the league restarts.

      Nobody knows what form FPL will take of and when it returns so it's impossible to answer right now. In my mind it makes sense to make some tweaks here and there, but it's definitely possible I may end up regretting some of those moves.

      He seems to be starting most games but not very explosive

    Is there a way to make a league that starts in gw 2 or 3 for Vfpl? Only asking because I missed the first gw

    Should we be worried about Barnes and Martial not playing in all the matches when fpl resumes?

    Barnes was on the bench in a lot of the festive fixtures. Martial only missed one match but he had some fitness/injury scares

      If matches are close together, most players won't play all of them.
