When will FPL start for 2023/24? Key dates for Fantasy managers

Cool info. What your source for this?

Best start refreshing now

What are we supposed to do in the meantime?

Can't see it

No rules changes. But some will sell their soul to try boost their rank. So may be some ethical changes.

I'm hoping for an earlier deadline than 1.5hrs... which is weird from someone who spends so much time at this

Other than that I just hope nothing else makes it easier to play for the "casuals"

Fingers crossed pricing is better this year so it makes us all think a bit more & not have everyone we want nearly

Anything which can annoy the mass here works for me...

The dates for every PL clubs preseason games aren't known yet.

I have tickets for 3 games in Philadelphia in less than 4 weeks time.

Hmm, this site doing harsh filtering. It missed this bit out

?php
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://fantasy.premierleague.com/api/bootstrap-static/'), true);
$players = $data['total_players'];
if (!is_numeric($players)) exit;
if ($players < 1000000) {
echo "launched!";
mail(
"me@x.com",
"FPL has launched!",
"Go sign up"
);
}
?

(add the opening and closing arrows around the question marks.

Raya is going to MU

season has just finished dude

I dunno man. Maybe just make your own FPL site at this point?

I've never known anyone be as consistently critical as you are. It's awful.

Bookies have Tottenham at 3.0, Man Utd 4.0 and Chelsea 5.0. No odds given for Man City.

I don't even think he's that good. certainly not better than Ederson

He's not better than Ederson at passing. That's a biggie for Pep.

Depends. Last season I did start with 'fire-and-forget' but when first Raya and then Steele emerged, I moved where the opportunity lay.

£30m Lol. No chance you'll get that much

I don't think casuals have much to do with it. My guess is that with much of the season being so templatey, one bad or lucky captain pick has probably made a difference of tens of thousands of places.

If you didn't captain Haaland for all his hat tricks you were left with a mountain to climb...

No BPS for goals and assists--reward passing, tackling, and the other less tangible skills

100 transfers for the season, to be used whenever--no Wildcards

replace the Free Hit with a truly limitless chip--no limits on players from one team, no budget cap

create a striker position and a wide forwards position so that players like Salah and Rashford arent classed as mids

Would like to see a rule where my team scores 100 points every GW.

Hattrick and o/s box bonus are nice ideas.

Not sure what the logic of the penalty points are.

Why no chips in 38? I mean, it’s annoying if someone overtakes you on a FH38 but why remove that strategy option from the game

I like some of these more than others. I think I agree about penalties only giving +2, it would lead to fewer "template" players I think because it wouldn't be as attractive to pick penalty takers.

I would also allow a player to get both the assist and the penalty points if they get fouled for the pen and then take it. Could lead to huge swings, but seems a shame players miss out on the assist.

Not sure about that BP for both teams rule. Could lead to players on losing teams getting BPs for hardly anything, when another player on the winning team might do well but be behind others, which would feel weird. On the other hand, it would bring a load of players from smaller teams into play, which might be interesting

I like your penalties: 2 points if scored (All Players), -2 if missed suggestion, but make it so that the player gets the normal amount of points for a goal if he is also the player that earns the penalty.

As somebody who's reluctantly came over to FPL when I couldn't find a similar game to that which use to be run by the Metro Newspaper I'd like to see some of their idea incorporated into FPL.

2FTs a GW (gave much more scope to play the fixtures with 1 or 2 GW punts etc)
A points system that rewards successful passes, tackles, crosses, blocks etc that makes all types of player viable options (not just those with attacking intent or from a teams that are solid at the back)

I don't mind the penalties one, but the rest are a no from me.

Points deducted form the player reasonable for a penalty being conceded.

Maybe to help with the carnage of rotation for GW38, have an auto sub so everyone's 11 is their highest scoring 11 from their squad.

Maximum number of transfers in a gameweek - say 3/4 to limit impact of all the ridiculous teams that make 50+transfers a week.

Super low owned players that were obviously priced incorrectly, to drop more quickly to a 'fair' level and open up pool of options i.e. if Sterling as more like 7m for the DGW37 maybe he would have been an option.

One wildcard per season.

Deadline at midnight, night before first fixture of gameweek - eliminates leaks.

Changes to BPS to aid players who have great games but no attacking returns - lets by honest some assists are pretty ridiculous.

Max two players per team would really open up some different options?

I just want them to sort out their current game first before they go tweaking anything else. That assist rule is a shocker. It’s too open currently. ‘Intended destination’ is a joke, they make that up as they go along. Every corner taken has an intended destination, doesn’t mean jack.

• Every week you must set your team to get points. No points for ghost ship teams.
• No extra bps for goalscorers/assisters. They have already been awarded.
• Failing the above. Bring back the man in the stand.

Make it 1? Or make it 15?

Every change opens up to another way of playing the game. Imagine no limit, and someone commits to 5 at the back plus keeper from the same team. Scary!

Yeah, there would be pros and cons to this type of game. But I think that most people would still go with the most obvious or safe options, and we wouldn't solve the template or EO issue at all.
