We’ll be adding more and more of these in the coming days.
YOUR FPL ESSENTIALS FOR 2025/26
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 summer, 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.
OUR ULTIMATE GUIDE
Speaking of pre-season, our ultimate 2025/26 guide is your first port of call.
It lists all the summer friendlies, as well as the results, scorers and assisters when they have taken place.
We’ll have Scout Notes on all of these friendlies, to see if we can unearth the next John Lundstram ahead of Gameweek 1.
Key transfer ins and outs, links to content for all 20 clubs, set-piece takers and so much more will also be included on this page.
This pre-season article will get a lot busier over the next month, as we build towards the opening weekend in August.
NEW SIGNINGS + MANAGERS ASSESSED
There have been some high-profile transfers already taking place this summer and we are documenting them all.
There are a few new manager appointments in the English top flight, too.
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.
All the major incomings can be found here.
SEASON TICKER
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.
Sunderland, for example, are top of our Season Ticker over the first six Gameweeks of 2025/26 – but there are some tough opening games ahead for old foes Newcastle United.
