FPL 2023/24 is live

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is live for the 2023/24 season and managers can now set their squads up for the new campaign.

The launch comes after three days of price reveals in which 116 Premier League players were priced up across all 20 top-flight clubs.

We’ll begin our round-up of the newly released prices in an article later.

If you’re new to FPL, head over to our beginner’s guides.

FPL 2023/24: ANY RULE CHANGES?

Everything of note in FPL seems to have remained the same.

The chips are as they were (two Wildcards, one Free Hit, one Bench Boost and one Triple Captain).

The first Wildcard will be available from the start of the season until the Gameweek 20 deadline on Saturday 30 December.

There are, of course, none of the bonus unlimited transfers that we were granted in 2022/23 following the World Cup.

The scoring system appears to be identical, with the Gameweek deadlines remaining at 90 minutes prior to the first kick-off.

We’ve yet to see what the promised ‘new format’ is.

YOUR FPL ESSENTIALS FOR 2023/24

Which FPL players and teams top the xG tables? 4

If you’ve been taking a well-earned break from all things FPL over the summer, welcome back. If you’ve stayed with us through the lean, Fantasy-less weeks, thanks for your dedication!

The FPL planning for Gameweek 1 starts in earnest here and we’ve got all the tools and articles you need to help with your pre-season preparation.

PRE-SEASON TAB

Speaking of pre-season, our dedicated page lists the dates and scores of all the summer friendlies and who has been racking up the goals and assists.

We’ll have Scout Notes on all of these friendlies, to see if we can unearth the next John Lundstram ahead of Gameweek 1.

The Pre-Season Guide also documents all the transfers ins and outs, as well as chronicling all the content we’ve created for each team so far.

Our Pre-Season Minutes Tracker, a benefit of Premium Membership, will soon be live to document the minutes played in these warm-up matches.

NEW SIGNINGS ASSESSED
FPL new transfers: Will Havertz be worth buying at Arsenal?

There have been some high-profile transfers already taking place this summer and we are documenting them all on our Transfers page. The biggest moves will get their own dedicated Scout Reports, while we’ll also cover every other noteworthy incoming transfer in our regular round-up.

SEASON TICKER
FPL 2023/24: Best opening fixtures 1

Our Season Ticker can help you sort by opponent difficulty to spot those upcoming fixture swings, while you can also find out which teams’ matches rotate well.

Arsenal, for example, are top of our Season Ticker over the first six Gameweeks of 2023/24 – but there are some tough games ahead for Nottingham Forest.

    Now that you all have your team ID's, please update your FFS profile page websites with your FPL History URL so we can gauge how quickly we should discount whatever advice you're spewing

      I'm up to date. But you shouldn't follow my advice this year cause I'm due for another bad one.

    Why doesn't this article include new rule changes?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

      Maybe they haven't finished reading?

    2. Dunster

      There aren’t any

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      Probably because there aren't going to be any. GW deadlines the same as well.

    4. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      I read through the rules and of the stuff I understand there weren't any noticeable changes other than from last season's WC dates.

      "The Wildcard chip can be used twice a season. The first wildcard will be available from the start of the season until Sun 31 Dec 02:30. The second wildcard will be available after Sun 31 Dec 02:30 in readiness for the January transfer window opening and remain available until the end of the season"

        Agree - so WC back to normal after last seasons change for the World Cup

    Low 4 digits last year, but this time I'm at work so can be excused for getting 16000ish.

      I stepped away for 5 minutes and got 8k odd.

      I just logged in on the off chance while on the bus home from work.

      Just did auto pick to get a team ID. Probably won't mess about with it much until the weekend now. Then the tinkering will begin!

        Auto pick and blaaarghhrjr for a team name 🙂

    Right, my PERFECT squad is entered and saved. Now how on earth do I get through the next five weeks without tweaking and ruining it?????

    1. Nomar

      You won't so don't kid yourself! 🙂

    What's with the weird name changes?
    Jesus > G.Jesus
    Ederson > Ederson M
    Van Dijk > Virgil
    Dias > Rúben
    Varane > R.Varane

    1. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Wonder if they went with whatever names are on the jerseys

  9. Supersonic_
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 28 days ago

    Two questions;

    How do you find out your ID?

    Have they sacked off the Wildcard?

    1. Lionel Ronaldo
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      (1) "Pick team" > "Gameweek History" > Read the URL before "/history"
      (2) They have not. Wildcard is (obviously) not made available prior to GW1

  10. Dunster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 28 days ago

    Random observation - flicking through the squads it seems to me they have priced up a much bigger proportion of each squad than previously, including a lot of cheap (presumably fringe) assets. Got to increase prospect of a player who gets loaned out to another Prem club but they are stuck with the low price.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      Unfortunately no 4.0 James Trafford though.

      Nb. Steele & Flekken rotate pretty well.

  11. Kaptenen
    • 7 Years

    How can you see your team id?

    1. Feanor

      Go to Gameweek History

    FPL Mini-leagues to enter:

    The Opening Day League (league code chje0q) is for teams that enter it within 24 hours of FPL going live for the new season. It will be closed to new entrants at about 5.10pm on Thursday 6th July UK time.

    Top 10k Any Season (league code kbjwni) is only for teams whose Previous Seasons record in their Gameweek History shows that they have finished the season in the overall top 10,000 at least once.

    Multiple Top 10k Finishes (league code mxhmks) is for teams that have had two or more top 10,000 finishes.

    Mini-league administrators are welcome to add details of their own mini-leagues or competitions if they think they might be of interest to the FFS community.

    See community article FFS Mini-League and Community Competition winners of 2022/23 (https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2023/06/01/ffs-mini-league-and-community-competition-winners-of-2022-23/) for a report on last season’s winners.

      Hi everyone,

      Just a heads up to announce that the 2nd running of The Charlie Price Marathon will take place in season 23/24. All those who very kindly entered last season will be automatically enrolled once they have registered for this year’s game.

      Newcomers should use code p3txc3. Thanks in advance to anyone taking part.

      1. Charlie Price
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 25 days ago

        Just a quick footnote to the league named after me - The Charlie Price Marathon.

        There are no qualification rules. You don’t have to have finished in the top 10k or anything like that, although out of the 34 entries already received there are 8 who have previously finished in the top 10k. One of those once finished as high as 204th in the world!

        Anyone out there who has ever finished higher than 204th? If so, then please feel free to join.

        Will update on here if anyone joins who can beat a 204th finish.

        1. Charlie Price
          • 3 Years
          10 months, 24 days ago

          Hats off to hurriKane seaSon managed by Owen Gilligan who has now joined my league. Owen can lay claim to once finishing in 133rd place. We'll done Owen and thanks for joining.

          1. Charlie Price
            • 3 Years
            10 months, 21 days ago

            The Charlie Price Group are pleased to announce the creation of the Charlie Price World Matchplay which invites readers of these pages to join.

            This is a Head to Head scoring competition which will run alongside the already established Charlie Price Marathon (see above) in season 23/24. The Marathon currently has 44 entries and anyone already in that league is encouraged to join The Matchplay along with any newcomers. Anyone fancy their chances of doing the double?

            Please use the following codes if you feel like joining the fun:

            The Marathon p3txc3

            The Matchplay k7hzh6

            Thank you.

            The race leader’s yellow jersey has now passed to VARsity Blues managed by Rob Tuck who back in 20/21 season finished a magnificent 25th in the world!

            Thanks for joining both The Marathon and The Matchplay Rob adding prestige to both events. You are the new bookies favourite in both leagues!!

      The code for the following league does NOT work...

      League Code: trz3n7

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • 13 Years
        10 months, 28 days ago

        The mini-league codes and links in the Scout Leagues widget have not yet been updated since last season, so they're all currently wrong.
        And many of these mini-leagues haven't even been renewed for the new season yet.

        1. paul1964
          • 13 Years
          10 months, 28 days ago

          If that's the case, they should be showing them as TBA (to be advised).

          1. RedLightning
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            • 13 Years

            They have been notified of the problem.

            So the league code for Top 1000 ANY season is oymggk.

              Coincidentally, that's also the sound I would make if I were to manage a top 1k finish

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            10 months, 22 days ago

            Did you start this as a new league, rather than just renewing and renaming the old one?
            None of last season's teams have been automatically entered in it.

                  Thanks. I have raised a hot topic to warn those who were in it last year that they will have to enter again.

                  @PDM.
                  Chaballer has now changed '1k' to '1,000' in the names of his mini-leagues, so they are now 'Hall of Fame Top 1,000' and Multiple Top 1,000 Finishes' (except that they actually contain a symbol instead of 'Top').
                  And the other two Any Season mini-leagues are my 'Top 10k Any Season' and Livinginapool's Top 100 Any Season'.
                  Would you perhaps like to consider changing the name of yours from 'Top 1000 ANY season' to Top 1,000 Any Season' for compatibility with the others?

                  10 months, 19 hours ago

                  TopMarx prefers 'Top 1k Any Season' (for compatibility with 'Top 10k Any Season') to 'Top 1,000 Any Season', and either of these to 'Top 1000 Any Season'.
                  Are you willing to change your league name to one of these?
                  Chaballer is willing to change his league names to match yours.

                    For the record, my preference has always been Top 1k…think my symbol looks pretty cool too lol - fyi also happy to admin all 3 of the Top 1k leagues for consistency if PDM wanted me to maintain the new one…

        The number of FPL teams 24 hours after the launch was nearly 750,000 - almost exactly the same number as at this point last season - and 640 of them entered the Opening Day League before it closed.

    Fellow Man. United fans - if Mount, Bijlow or Onana and Hojlund are the only arrivals this summer, are you happy?

    1. Supersonic_
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      I'm content with that to be fair, I've not listened to the noise about Onana since low bid got rejected. I'd take Raya to be honest.

      1. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 months, 28 days ago

        Happily take Raya at £40m. Would be a great buy. Net £20m if we get £20m for Henderson.

        1. Supersonic_
          • 2 Years
          10 months, 28 days ago

          Yes mate. I'm not sold on us getting Hoj but could be proven wrong. Didn't think we had the money. Unless we get takers for McSauce and Sancho

    2. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      Need to get selling as well as buying. We've only £100m or so to play with apparently. Hojlund and Onana would be good. Then ship Henderson, Bailly, Telles, Fred, Maguire out. We need a couple of years solid CL income to be back in the market for £100m players so Kane and Osimhen aren't happening.

      Looking forwards to seeing Mount debut. Managed to get tickets for Wolves. I was there for another no 7's debut Mr Cantona back in 1992 so will be good to another no 7 start his journey!

      1. Supersonic_
        • 2 Years
        10 months, 28 days ago

        Yeah, call me pessimistic but I think the Kane ship has probably sailed now. I reckon he goes to Bayern, they get the dollar and Levy doesn't lose face.

          Quite possibly. Could be a stand off. Kane wanted Utd, can't see Levy losing him for free though. He might just say fine I'll see my contract out and go for free next year if he doesn't want to uproot to Germany.

      No, that’s a tragic window.

    Pickford
    Trent Estu Stones
    Saka Martinelli Foden Mitoma Mbuemo
    Haaland Jesus

    Leno Botman Bell Connolly

    0.5 in the bank

    Thinking that trent could make way for martinelli being upgraded to Salah? Or downgrade Jesus to decent fodder (5.5m brafket) and then upgrade Bell and play 4-5-1

    Auto picks have Mount still at Chelsea, Cancelo and Toney.

    4.5 midfields is a dead zone. no more andreas this year. the only chance is McAtee from Mancity goes back on loan to Sheffield

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      It'll be good if Chelsea loan out Chukwuemeka. Boy's a talent.

      Probably too good though. They'll probably keep him.

  19. GREEN IS GOOD

    Gabriel 5.0

    1. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      Ridiculous pricing. The game is gone.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      White apart, the GK and defenders are all 5.0 - I like that it makes it less templatey.

    Well, it's all downhill from here...

        Damn. I had to go out

  22. g40steve

    Auto pick is terrible squad!

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      Well, no Haaland!

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        10 months, 28 days ago

        Cancelo, Toney, Richarlison, Alisson, Ederson, Virgil, Sancho, Anthony amongst the trash

  23. Pedram

    First draft. apologize for any obvious mistake picks, haven't followed any recent updates

    Ramsdale - Travers
    Gabriel - Veltman - Shaw - Botman - Shaw
    Salah - Bruno - Ode - Gross - Anderson
    Haaland - Toney - Surridge

    1. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      You Shaw about that defence?

      1. Pedram
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 28 days ago

        Is he injured? i see he's played 47 games last season.

        1. Bartowski
          • 13 Years
          10 months, 28 days ago

          So in that defence he'd have to play 94 next season...

            I don't appreciate your sarcasm

            1. Bartowski
              • 13 Years
              10 months, 28 days ago

              That's fine but what I said wasn't sarcastic, it was factually correct.

  26. skeeb14

    Joao Cancelo is on here for 6m. I don’t think he’ll get enough minutes.

  27. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 28 days ago

    New Brighton keeper Bart Vergruggen at 4.5m. Nice option.

    1. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      And there goes my differential...

    how is Wissa changed to Forward. he is as winger as Mbeumo

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      We got that yesterday. He was a forward after Toney's ban.

      1. Santi sensei
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 28 days ago

        ah missed that. I thought Toney still only missed like last two games though?

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      Up top in a 3-man frontline when Toney's out

      Toney's out

    First thoughts on keepers, Steele at risk or sound

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      Too many green jerseys - fair play to Ramsdale

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      Look up ⬆️

    3. Santi sensei

      10 months, 28 days ago

      steele and new keeper will rotate between PL and Europa Games imo
