When will FPL start in 2022/23? Key dates for Fantasy managers

The dust has barely settled on the 2021/22 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) campaign but before you know it, we’ll soon have our minds on next season – if they’re not already.

Here we look at a few key dates for FPL managers over the summer.

WHEN DOES THE TRANSFER WINDOW OPEN?

The transfer window opened for Premier League clubs on Friday 10 June.

Most pre-agreed international deals will go through on Friday 1 July, however. Such moves include Erling Haaland’s much-discussed transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City.

Transfer deadline day will be on Thursday 1 September.

Follow all the confirmed deals and what they mean for FPL here.

WHEN ARE THE PREMIER LEAGUE FIXTURES OUT?

The Premier League fixtures were released on Thursday 16 June at 9am BST.

From best runs to rotation pairs, we’ve had a comprehensive look at the fixture calendar in the opening weeks and beyond.

WHEN DOES FPL 2022/23 START?

The million-dollar question and the one we’re all waiting for an answer to.

That wait continues but we do know that FPL won’t launch until July, as confirmed by the official Twitter account for the game.

Player price releases have preceded the game’s launch, starting with those of Arsenal players.

WHEN DOES THE 2022/23 PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON START?

The 2022/23 Premier League season is scheduled to get underway on Friday 5 August.

The English top-flight teams will contest 16 fixtures up until the weekend of Saturday 12 November, pausing for the winter World Cup in Qatar.

Domestic action will return on Monday 26 December, eight days after the World Cup finishes.

Gameweek 38 will be contested on Sunday 28 May.

OTHER NOTABLE DATES THIS SUMMER

  • Wednesday 1 June-Tuesday 14 June: World Cup qualifying, UEFA Nations League, international friendlies
  • Saturday 2 July: Pre-season friendlies commence.
  • Saturday 30 July: FA Community Shield, Liverpool v Manchester City

No Premier League teams will be in European club competition before the season starts.

    Strangers passing in the street, by chance two separate glances meet,
    and I am you and what I see is me

      Wind in the willows played "Tea For Two"
      The sky was yellow, and the sun was blue
      Strangers stoppin' strangers just to shake their hand
      Everybody's playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band

        You raise up your head and you ask, "Is this where it is?"
        And somebody points to you and says, "It's his"
        And you say, "What's mine?" and somebody else says, "Well, what is?"
        And you say, "Oh my God, am I here all alone?"
        But something is happening and you don't know what it is
        Do you, Mr. Jones?

        Big improvement on last promotion season
        Price & fixtures will be the deciding factor .
        Will transfer out early for any inform budget striker

        If Mitro could play for Chelsea or MU, he would be a Beast. But in EPL, Fulham does not get enough possession or crossing chances for Mitro to be successful.

        Try to get 8 from City, Pool and Spurs, basement bargains for the rest.

      I think a lesson I have learnt is to avoid the new shiny toys. Might be crazy to wait on Haaland and whoever else joins the league but at least you know what you are getting with Kane etc.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Well you didn't at the start of last season (with Kane). Regarding City, will have to decide whether to start with Kev or Haa, not both.

    Just listening to Az, Sonaldo, Pras Fantasy Football scout end of season podcast/lessons learnt, all that stuff. It quotes that winner of fantasy football's worst rank was 7m in GW14. I thought that impossible/unbelievable as that would have meant steroids and nuclear weapons/enormous dollops of the good luck required from GW14 to GW38. So I thought I would fact check it !

    Guess what the guys rank in GW14 was actually 47,651 to be precise. On a so called expert podcast, please get your simple facts straight ! Such a turnaround was giving all my fellow mini leaguer's false hope.

    Seriously though, please get such stuff right ! Its not difficult !

      I haven’t listened yet but surely they were talking about his worst GW rank, which was 6.9m in 14?

      1. Jerse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        You are spot on indeed. The guys worst GW rank was 6.9m in GW14, but he was still 47k in the world by the end of it.

        My "sort of bad/misunderstanding". But maybe the podcast should have made that clearer, but I get it !! That would have been some comeback on so many counts !!

        I will go back to sleep !

    2. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years

      This is awkward. They were right. His GW rank was 7m.

      1. Jerse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Yep they were right. You don't have to be gentle with your reply ! I don't mind admitting when I have misinterpreted a stat !

        Even then it shows how much luck is involved !

        1. Grande Tubarão
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years

          Yep, something to remember and hold onto if we have a terrible week at some point next season 😀

    3. Peteski29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Yeah, they were talking about his GW14 rank being 7m, not his overall rank

      1. Jerse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Yep, my bad/misinterpretation, but in my defence, maybe easily misinterpreted ! maybe not !

    Lowest gameweek rank was 6,592130 in gameweek 14
    Never outside to 1 million overall rank after gameweek 1
    Inside top 1500 rank from gameweek 19 that's where he realy kicked on

    Why are Roma celebrating like they’ve won the World Cup?

    Mourinho has fallen from grace.

      First European trophy for 30 years

      Let them celebrate. It’s still a European trophy. Don’t understand all the policing of celebrations recently.

      1. KanuLenoMeeMoCash

        Yea the passion police are everywhere now it seems! Tiresome drones the lot of em

        It’s the height of snobbery.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I could make a joke about Arsenal players celebrating certain wins this season as if they had won something, or that Arsenal fans don't know what it's like to win a European tournament but I digress. They've won a European trophy and beaten some decent teams to do so, why shouldn't they celebrate?

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        I think Bruno Lage and Ruben Neves beat you to that! Someone needs to publish some rules on the extent to which people are allowed to celebrate.

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Indeed. Even Chelsea celebrated crazily at Anfield after securing a draw after having James sent off and having to play over a half a man down but defended excellently, no idea why a team can't celebrate a hard-fought result, especially if they've won a trophy

          1. Grande Tubarão
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 2 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            Completely agree.

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              1 year, 9 months ago

              Would you be whingeing if West Ham or Leicester had won that pot? Let them enjoy.

                Not sure if that was meant for me but I'm not whingeing - I'm defending the right of people to celebrate to the extent they want. Sounds like you are too.

                1. Andy_Social

          I’m an Arsenal fan, and you’re annoying.

          Just a big phoney looking for attention. I call it out.

    2. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years

      That’s great news for Arsenal.

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years

        Both bits.

  9. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    If Salah is priced 13.0. What price would Mane have to be for you to consider him? Do you think FPL could price him at 11.5?

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      He’s making an announcement on his future after the CL final. I suspect they won’t need to worry about what price to assign him.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      11.5 is too much
      9.5 and I'd consider

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Yes, if Salah is 13m and Mane 11.5, I'd take Mane.

  12. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    What if i told you Bowen has been involved in more goals than Mahrez in Leicester's title winning season

    Following season Mahrez was priced 9.5m after 17 goals + 11 assists (28 g+a)

    What do you think Bowen price will next season after tally of 12 goals + 17 assists (29 g+a) ??

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      7.5M

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Cant see him that cheap. Surely 8.0 minimum considering he has more goals and assists than Mahrez leicester title winning season no?

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          If he was playing for City or Liv I would have gone 8.5, but he is still a just hammer from the West.:)

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      8.5 would be my guess

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Wasn't Mount 8.5 at the start this season, in a team expected to be Top 3? 8m for Bowen in my book, and likely in my draft.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          7.5

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            Okay, I'd say Bowen might match that.

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              1 year, 9 months ago

              Bear in mind, a lot will depend on Lingard joining Hammers. Last time he was there, it was Bowen he ousted from the starting lineup.

              1. HurriKane
                • 11 Years
                1 year, 9 months ago

                Bowen is now the main man even if Lingard joins.

              2. Holmes
                • 10 Years
                1 year, 9 months ago

                He is their star player now, doubt he gets rotated just because Lingard is signing.

                1. Andy_Social
                  • 11 Years
                  1 year, 9 months ago

                  My concern is he steals points away from Bowen even if Bowen is still the main man. It might make me reluctant to sign Bowen if he is 7.5m+. Better if Lindz bogs off to Toon 😉

    3. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      8.0/8.5 would be my guess. At that price he would be tempting. Rather doubt he will cost more than 9.0.

    4. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Depends if he's Salah's understudy by August.

    5. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      9 or so, but wouldn't be surprised if it's 7.5.

    6. R.C
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Bowen will be playing for Liverpool so 9-9.5m

  13. The Knights Template
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    What price will Ayling be next season?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      4.5

      all leeds defenders will probably be 4.5

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        And not worth it - it's likely Phillips won't be there to screen them.

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Not touching Leeds defence with a bargepiole

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      4.5

  14. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    If you want a good predictor of league position, that correlates well with goals scored and conceded then rank the wage budgets in corresponding order.

    Brentford, Brighton and West Ham over performed and Everton underperformed, other than that v few surprises here.

    https://twitter.com/KieranMaguire/status/1528616681349779456?t=JRqU9PmPxvKxqottRU_FjQ&s=19

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Think there's a seasons lag so Brentford's will be higher and possibly West Ham and Everton's too.

      Plus the rest.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Believe it or not; Everton have reduced their wage bill by 30% this season.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          whats going to happen with kean?

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            Anybody who tells you any news about Everton; discard it. Nobody knows what the hell is going on.

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              1 year, 9 months ago

              The table is remarkably accurate. In current thinking I'm looking to go for multiple City/Liv/Spurs and pad the squad out with Bre and Bri bargains.

    2. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Makes me wonder how big of a factor Newcastle will be next season. Surely they will fly up the wage chart.

        Yeah, you'd expect them to shoot up the wage chart and league.

    I guess i could google it but who are the promoted teams? Fulham and "Mitro the trap" i know but then? Thanks

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years

      Mitro's not a trap. He's had a word with himself and changed his ways. £6.5m.

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        sure... i guess its a wait and see

    2. Andy_Social

      Fulhman and Bournemouth. Waiting on winner of Nottm Forest and Huddersfield.

    Was just noting the GW1 deadline on my calendar and popped on to see if there was any added info. I guess the summer will move quickly so.

  18. Andy_Social

    Where are all the RMT's? Okay, I'll start:

    GK: Dubravka, Raya
    DEF: Chilwell, Laporte, Matip, Sessegnon, Guehi
    MID: Mane, Son, Kulu, Barnes, Rodri
    FWD: Haaland, 6.0, 5.5

    (subject to prices and everything else, of course)

    1. Piggs Boson

      1 year, 9 months ago

      Ludicrous. This place is empty. The chairs are turned upside down on the table. They rang last orders an hour ago. We have no fixtures or prices. Why would you waste time making a team yet?

      Here's mine:

      Travers - Woodman
      TAA - Robertson - Cancelo - James - SpursWB
      Bruno - 7.0 - 6.5
      Haaland - Wilson

    2. Haa-lala-land

      I think Sonny might be a forward!

    3. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Mané might not be at Liverpool next season

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Yeh, the draft is subject to change, depending on ... everything! I just knocked it up in 5 minutes for this zombie time.

    4. R.C
      • 6 Years

      Start over. Mane will leave Pool

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        I'll start over when the prices are out, then again a thousand times over, like I always do.

          Best part of FPL.

          It's the only time of the season when everything has gone perfectly so far.

    Hey, I have a couple of questions about premium membership.

    1. When will premium membership for 22/23 become available, and what will the price be?

    2. I heard OPTA have a new xG model, and I like the look of it. How is this implemented in the member's area? Is there a point where the old xG switches to the new model, or is it retconned? Just wondering if we can still compare data using two different models with any accuracy.

    (Great article btw, very useful)

      Thanks, Giggs! Geoff is going to come back to you on the membership question.

      As for the second part, all the data for 2021/22 is now the revised xG stuff from Opta. Previous campaigns not so but what you see in the Members Area for the season just gone *should* be the new model.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years

        That's great, thanks Neale!

          Hey Giggs yeah, as Neale said. And check out this article on xG for a bit more detail: https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2022/03/30/changes-to-optas-expected-goals-xg-stats-explained/

          On Memberships, our Premium Memberships are now always available and don't end every year on 1 June. Instead, they're rolling 12 month subscriptions from the time of purchase.

          On pricing I can't really comment! That's not something we announce until we announce it.

          The other thing I'll mention is that with our rolling subscriptions, users lock in the price they pay the first time for the duration of their Membership. So anyone signing up today will get that price for future years, unless they cancel their membership.

    Mourinho > Cheque book manager Pep.

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      He’s certainly got more Europa Conference League titles than Pep

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Incredible coach. Legendary.

      He's well suited to knock-out tournaments, they tend to favour a defensive approach. With league titles, I think you need a more proactive approach these days.

      I think he's found the perfect fit at Roma, a club that isn't the favourite, so can afford to sit back and counter, and yet a team that can still go places in a knock-out tournament, and show off Mourinho's phenomenal coaching skills in a more suitable arena. Rome loves him.

    3 weeks for FPL to start. That is going to take forever, ugh!

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Get a grip. That's not much longer than a normal International break.

      1. R.C

        You don't understand the joy of tinkering!

          • 13 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          I most certainly do. There's nothing quite like beating yourself up when every player who was in your drafts but you got rid of, hauls in GW1.

    15 hours since the first post and only 115 comments. Peeps getting their lives back and talking to their families 😀

      In that time, I've finished reading a 500-page book. Onto the next now...

    So launch date could be any day now then.....

    WHEN DOES FPL 2022/23 START?
    The million-dollar question and the one we’re all waiting for an answer to.

    FPL launch day has been getting earlier and earlier every year, with the exception of that anomalous 2020/21 campaign which kicked off in September.

    Here are the launch dates for previous seasons:

    Season Launch Date Launch Date – Days Before Start of Season
    2021/22 23 June 51
    2020/21 15 August 28
    2019/20 27 June 43
    2018/19 5 July 36
    2017/18 12 July 30
    2016/17 19 July 25
