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.

    FPL really underrate Arsenal, I know it was one season but 5 points off the title and now adding Rice to the midfield. Feels like most players in midfield and defence are priced 0.5 too cheap

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      They have underrated every team and made the game more simple and fun for the "average recreational" player which is annoying

        But what they have done is make so many players good value, it increases the pool so means more variety.
        The problem in previous seasons is that most gravitate towards the same players. As there is a large discrepancy between price options.

    2. x.jim.x

      “5 points off the title” is a bit misleading when City had stopped playing about 5 games from the end.

      1. Qaiss

        We will see this season sir

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)

      You could say that about pricing for basically every team tbh

    4. Piggs Boson

      Wish I could have 5 of their players.

    Ownership hidden pre GW1 it seems (hope it stays that way!)

      Can see it on the app

    Hi guys, where can i find this ID number?

    1. Ze_Austin

      Gameweek history

  5. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    Raya at 5.0 is strongly appealing

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Question is where he's playing. Brentford already bought a replacement (technically two with Strakosha last year seemingly signed as backup), Spurs wouldn't pay 40m, ManUtd sensibly preferring Onana at that price

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Or Flekken at 4.5m when Raya leaves?

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        I might follow Raya to where he's going 😀

        Or just leave Pickford in there and reassess by GW9

    3. Supersonic_
      • 2 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      I've got him in currently

  6. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    I like this midfield

    4.5
    Trent Estupinan 5.0
    Rashford Saka Martinelli Jota Foden
    Haaland Wissa

    Fodder

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      I don't know about Jota. I think he starts 1/2 games

  7. lilmessipran

    88k team ID in about 12 mins..the number of engaged managers these days is staggering

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      The number of people prompted by social media messages...

  8. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    A common feature is that most non-CL teams have a 5.0 defender and the rest 4.5s, or all 4.5s

    Chelsea, Newcastle and Spurs have definite starters at 4.5, and the promoted teams have definite starters at 4.0 (well Burnley and Luton do)

  9. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    Enciso at 5.5 means he's definitely still on my radar. Have to see if he's deployed at 10 in preseason or if he's shifted around. Still feel like he was being readied for MacAllister's position but all the injuries around the team meant so many players had to be deployed in other spots

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Agreed. If he came in at 6.0 I think I would've been put off by the minutes risk given that March and Mitoma are 6.5 but at 5.5 I think he's worth the gamble. Can do damage off the bench if he doesn't start every game.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        16 - SIXTEEN midfielders listed in the Brighton squad. Bet De Zerbi uses them all too 😯

  10. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years

    How do you join the Scouts FPL league?

  11. ★Kuntheman★
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    That Chelsea vs Liverpool GW1 matchup is an absolute headache, their fixtures afterwards are so nice but that one could be messy for people owning multiple players on both teams

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Given it's opening week and both teams are revamping their midfield and attack, I'd just expect goals and go from there

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Wouldn't worry too much about one fixture.

  12. Evil Greg
    • 14 Years

    I think my lowest I.D ever is like 68. Was quick and still ended up with 1059 lol.

    Who is the nailed 4.0 defender please

    1. Santi sensei
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Beyer Bell for now

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Bell and Beyer

    3. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      The 3Bs. Beyer Bell Baldock

  14. nonaynever
    • 8 Years

    If Haaland is likely to be a perma-captain, is it madness to pick Alvarez as a perma-sub1 for when Pep throws everyone a curve-ball?

    1. Yes Don
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      solid logic

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Sounds like a risk of a lot of 1 pointers

  15. Twelve years a slave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    New format?

    As mythical as scouts new members area

    1. bitm2007

      I think they were referring to the way the price reveals were given.

    2. Art Vandelay

      Indeed

      I've sent an email to the dev team and am awaiting a response...

    Flags and ownership are here

  18. Evil Greg
    • 14 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    Malo Gusto 4m and Amad 4.5m. Will chuck them on the bench for now.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Gusto at 4m is very odd, although I know he practically didn't appear after signing for Chelsea last season but could well change

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Might as well get on the gravy train early in anticipation of that first James injury.

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Amad could well get a loan in the Premier League. He was too good for the Championship last season.

  19. Alan The Llama
    • 14 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    Is there no vice captain now?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Nevermind, found him.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Still there

    3. Twelve years a slave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      There is but it does not seem to force you to select one

  20. Twelve years a slave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    Ridiculously too easy to pick a squad. First attempt was more than happy and did not evdn have to include a 4.M defender or keeper.

    Back in the old days would have to chisel away for days to try and shoehorn in a side that looked decent. Now, even with Harland it is a doddle. Bored already. Lets hope fanteam do a better job

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Yep it's nonsense. Don't even need a 4m fodder. Can just rotate 3x 4.5m defenders in the 3rd spot

    2. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Agreed..just heading in one direction by trying to please recreationals

  21. I Member
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    Preseason will no doubt change a lot but at the moment I think my main decision will be for my last two midfield spots. The template combo of Mbeumo + Mitoma or the riskier more exciting duo of Foden (or Maddison) + Enciso.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      I've got Mbuemo, Foden and Enciso but it's obviously very early days.

    2. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      I would advise to stay on Mbeumo. 6.5, Caretaker of pens (until January, that is), OOP, plays better without Toney, good fixtures...whats not to like there?

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        Don't think he's OOP. Will play right wing with Wissa or a new signing through the middle. He's a great option no doubt but if it looks like Foden is going to start (we might even get the lineup before the deadline) he has higher upside than Mbeumo.

  22. TheBiffas
    • 3 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    Taking Trent out makes the team look a lot nicer across the board...

    Alisson

    Shaw, Estupinan, Gabriel

    Son, Mbuemo, Bruno, Saka, Martinelli

    Haaland, Gakpo

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      You can get a brilliant looking team with him and a few cheaper guys.

      Say Botman and Simms on the bench with Lamptey and Hennessey for now as placeholders.

      Strong midfield except no Salah. Who was admittedly an average of 6.3 points per game, the 3rd most potent after Haaland and Kane last season.

      It's easy when you see all 15 in place but obviously the same budget parameters for everyone.

  23. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    Wasn't there an article about a new fpl format or something? I don't see any changes to the game

  24. :
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    Has VVD always been shown as "Virgil" on FPL? He's popped up in my auto select and it doesn't look familiar.

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Noticed that too...I think the previous versions of the game had him listed as Van Dijk

    2. :
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Wait, Dias is Ruben.

      Must be the new format.

      1. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        Haha

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Image rights?

  25. Sad Ken
    • 10 Years

    Do changes now count towards your ‘transfers made’ come the end of the season??

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      No

  26. Alan The Llama
    • 14 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    TNT Sports sounds like a channel that shows replays of Milk Cup games from 1985.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      When football was football

      Norwich City losing 4-0 at Old Trafford?

  27. Zenith UK
    • 7 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    I haven't read much on this page yet (will catch up shortly) but spied some GK conversations.

    WHU fan here, I'll be livid if Fabianski gets another season between the sticks as our #1. Surely it has to be Areola going forward now? At 4.0 I think I'll run the risk.

    Any other takers? Thoughts/opinions?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      That combo for 8.5 looks ridiculously cheap+ fool-proof anyway even if we don't have a definite answer on who is first choice.

      1. Zenith UK
        • 7 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        I wasn't even going to go Fab/Areola. I was literally going to go Pickford/Areola on the premise I honestly can't see Fabianski being #1 again!?

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      4m is definitely worth the risk

    3. BoleynWin
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      The problem is that European games kick in around mid September & it’s a fairly easy way of keeping Areola happy by playing him each Thursday night.

      I personally think it’s time Areolas given a run in the league over Fabs buy Moyes is adverse to change.

  28. Joyce1998
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    How's this for first draft

    Martinez
    Taa, Gabriel, Estu, Stones
    Saka, Martin, Macallister, Bruno, Gross
    Haaland (c)

    Areloa, Nukunu, Bell, Surridge

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Very nice. I am also a fan of Groß

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        Tbf

        All the drafts are going to be nice on paper.

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Better options than MacAllister IMO, but looks fine first glance.

  29. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 14 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    Spurs are still 'Spurs' in FPL - they have never been Tottenham. The more things changes the more things stay the same. Why was that not in big reveal?

  30. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 4 days ago

    On the face of it, do you reckon Luis Díaz or Maddison is the better pick?

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Luis Diaz - Maddison well have to settle.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Maddison, but part of that will definitely depend on whether Kane is still there or not, and if not then how he is replaced. He'll be more assured of minutes too
