FPL relaunches with unlimited transfers for all managers

1,117 Comments

Fantasy Premier League has re-launched ahead of a return to playing action later this month.

The top-flight of English football will be back on our screens from Wednesday, June 17 and we now have confirmation of how our favourite Fantasy game will follow suit.

The game makers have formally announced the next deadline, at 17:00 BST on June 17, will be for an unprecedented ‘Double Gameweek 30+’ rather than ‘Double Gameweek 39’.

More importantly, it has also been revealed that, between now and the beginning of Double Gameweek 30+, all Fantasy managers will have access to unlimited transfers.

They will be able to make as many changes as they like to their current squads without incurring points penalties, just as is the case at the start of any new season.

This means that, in accordance with FPL rules, the second Wildcard chip will be unavailable for Gameweek 30+. However, anyone wishing to deploy a Bench Boost or Triple Captain will be able to do so. The Free Hit chip is also available for Double Gameweek 30+. If deployed, a manager’s squad would revert to how it was left for Gameweek 38 when Gameweek 31+ arrives.

The second Wildcard can be used from Gameweek 31+ onwards.

Managers may also want to proceed with caution when removing players from their squads compared to unlimited transfers over the pre-season. That is because prices of all Fantasy assets remain the same as they were following the Gameweek 38 deadline on Sunday, May 17.

That means Fantasy managers would lose money if they were to sell a player they made a profit on and subsequently brought him back into their squad.

Now that FPL has officially relaunched, with fixtures to boot, don’t forget to stay tuned to all the Fantasy Football Scout content.

We have already made significant headway into preparation work for Gameweek 30+, which you can access in full on our website.

We have put together an official Project Restart Page which will tell you everything you need to know ahead of the next deadline. This regularly updated page contains every article, fulfilling much the same function as the Pre-Season Page does each summer.

You can also get a taster of the content already available by looking at the Project Restart footer below.

    Losing so much money if I use the transfers to get a BB team with dgwers. If I’d want some of them back, that is. I have BB, FH and WC left. So unsure what to do.

    Pope, McCarthy
    TAA, Doherty, Sidibe, Saiss, Taylor
    Salah, KdB, Fernandes, Barnes, Romeu
    Auba, DCL, Ings

      We need 3 non-dgwers for BB30 anyway, so just leave TAA and whoever else you want as these 3 players.

      In the same position as you mate, with a similar team. Have so much value locked up in Jiminez, Salah, Fernandes, TAA, DCL etc...

      Think that unlimited transfers hasn't done us any favours.

      That said, don't think I can resist setting up to BB, then playing wildcard into the next gameweek. It's surely the best way to try and use the advantage? It could be the only double gameweek after all...

    Saves FH, gives me a few DGW players with long-term potential.

          Just realised there have been plenty of club captains recently who haven't been first choice (Terry 16/17 and Cahill 18/19 at Chelsea spring to mind) but I believe Lloris is safe.

    I wish I hadn't forgotten to make a couple of transfers during the non-played GWs....

    GW31+ looks like a juicy BB gameweek in my opinion. If I had two playing GKs, I would definitely be going for this strategy:

    GW30+ [freehit]
    GW31+ [bench boost]
    GW32+ [wildcard]

    Right then... As one of those with WC, BB and FH left, I'm annoyed the FTs I used during lockdown are only going to hinder me but there you go, let's have some fun with the unlimited transfers and BB...

    I'm starting to wonder which single GW players are worth keeping because of TV tied up in them.

    - TAA is the one I'm certain about keeping.
    - I'm pretty sure I'll keep Jimi this week too (even though I only have 0.2 to lose).
    - Torn on Martial (0.2).
    - I'd lose 0.2 if I sold Salah and brought him back in. Worth it?
    - I'd lose 0.5 on Ings but, looking at Saints fixtures, maybe time to go?

    So worth shipping Salah and Ings out do you think?

    And is it worth keeping Martial for the 0.2? Or just suck up the loss and get rid for a week?

    Anybody else weighing up similar decisions?

    Wondering about viability of keeping Mo Mane combo for first two anyway.

    1. Ancelotti Everton were from memory woeful in defence before the break.
    2. Goodson factor irrelevant without crowds.
    3. Understand current thinking is defences will struggle anyway through lack of drills.
    4. How many City and Arsenal players will start both given lack of match fitness. Does Kun play both? Is he a better prospect?

    At least those of us who have to FH rather than BB don’t have the risk of potentially losing a lot of value on players we want back whereas BBsters might find it hard to get good set up and keep heavy hitters in squad ( known as clutching at straws.... )

      really when you think about..Bench boosters this week really only get 1 extra double gameweeker and it's likely to be someone dross and then a choice of 3 extra single gameweekers. We will still have a bench boost to use tho to cancel those points out at end of season

    Sorry, but this restart is absolute Bollxx! If you still have your second W.C. available and a F.H. this restart means you can set up what is a F.H. team with the unlimited transfers for 31+ then W.C for 32+ and STILL have a F.H. chip to use again. How the feck is that fair? I have made judicious use of my transfers to have a decent Team ready now, with a F.H. to use for 31+ but cannot therefore make use of the unlimited transfers, just really unfair.

      Think the unlimited is to keep interest
      But I agree, in theory this is just the next gw from the previous one, those who s”used sl2nd w/c can now revamp team for dgw, or the season.
      Course those who held onto w/c f/h etc some will say that’s good for you them, it’s only because some people saved it. As opposed to them who do didn’t.
      Still haven’t got a clue what im gonna do yet !

      But if you setup a team for this week without using FH then WC the week after then there is a good chance you lose a lot of TV and hard to get a good team on the WC. That's my dilemma. Even though I have FH, WC and BB I mat still FH this week.

    i didn't like the decision of making wildcard for gameweek 30 because:

    A) apparently there are no double game weeks in the coming weeks so, I've all the chips and wildcard but other people played the triple captain in double gameweek and i will play it with bench boost in a single gameweek which is unfair.

    B) people who played already their wildcard can't benefit from this double gameweek as they can't get 3 from city and 3 from arsenal and 2 from aston villa or shiffield as this team has to be continued till the end of the season so when you make a wildcard you should make a balanced one.

    C) I think that leaving the team as it was, the right decision as many people can use free hit and then return after settling their teams during the ban of the EPL with the same match sequence the best option.

    may be i'm wrong what do u think guys?
