FPL is live: What’s new for 2022/23

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) has relaunched for the 2022/23 season and managers can now set their squads up for the new campaign – as well as try to grab a low team ID!

The launch comes after four days of price reveals in which 219 Premier League players were priced up across all 20 top-flight clubs.

We’ll round up the newly released prices in an article later.

WHAT’S NEW IN FPL

UNLIMITED TRANSFERS DURING THE WORLD CUP
Enter your nominations for World Cup of FPL assets

Fantasy managers will get unlimited transfers during the six-week hiatus between Gameweeks 16 and 17, when the Premier League takes a break to accommodate the World Cup.

It’s effectively a third chance to completely overhaul your squad, as the two usual Wildcards remain in place: the first has to be used by Gameweek 16, while the second can only be activated from Gameweek 18 onwards.

TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTIFICATION

One of the other biggest changes is not to the gameplay but to the security of the site.

Following a spate of high-profile hackings in 2021/22, FPL have introduced Two-Factor Authentification (2FA) by popular demand.

Here’s how to beef up security on your Fantasy Premier League account:

  • Go to https://premierleague.com
  • Click on your Profile Name (top right corner on desktop)
  • Go to Manage Profile
  • Go to Account Security
  • Enable Two-Factor Authentification and follow the on-screen steps from there

WHAT’S STAYED THE SAME IN FPL

Graphics aside, everything else 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), with the obvious exception being the extra Free Hit that FPL granted us in a Covid-affected 2021/22.

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

YOUR FPL ESSENTIALS FOR 2022/23

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 38? 6

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 all the summer friendlies, the minutes played in these warm-up matches 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.

SET-PIECE TAKERS

Our list of set-piece takers has been updated and refreshed, for those of you who are looking to get clued-up on those responsible for penalties, corners and free-kicks.

NEW SIGNINGS ASSESSED

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

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.

Wolves, for example, are top of our Season Ticker over the first six Gameweeks of 2022/23 – but there are some tough games ahead for Crystal Palace.

Disagree with the Fantasy Football Scout difficulty ratings? Add you own to customise your experience.

RATE MY TEAM AND PROJECTIONS

Our Projections and Rate My Team tools will both be live for the new season soon, allowing you to see how many points our algorithm thinks you’ll score and which players you should bench.

COMPARE PLAYER AND TEAM STATS FROM PREVIOUS SEASONS

Want to do your own research into the next FPL gem for 2022/23?

From goal threat to expected data, we’ve got hundreds upon hundreds of player and team statistics available, which can help guide your Fantasy transfer decisions.

Premium Members can also create custom tables based on the data available and share them with other subscribers to help with FPL team planning.

Stuck between potential transfer targets for the upcoming Gameweek? You can now compare up to three players head-to-head at the same time, with over 100 key statistics and graphics to study side by side, while new visuals make for easier comparisons:

    Is Jack Colback a starter?

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      As a Forest fan, I can confirm that he started the majority of games last season, note that he played the latter part of it at left back.

      1. Zimo
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Better than DM

        1. R.C.
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          He's poo now

  2. Goodfeathers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Nice!

  3. capoultra
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Botman at 4.5 is an absolute steal

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Not great opening fixtures though

      1. Z
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        What? They have great start (1st two GW)

      2. capoultra
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Only two top six teams in first six games sounds good to me.

        Only qualifier I have is that he may not immediately get hours the first few games, similar to Bruno last season. He will be first name on the sheet as soon as he hits 90 mins though.

        1. capoultra
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          sorry meant first ten games

    2. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      4.5 def options are really great this year - madnes to have a 4.0 non-playing fodder when very playable options for bench

  4. FleckyT
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone unable to receive verification email?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Might take a bit of time, mine was nearly instant but seen a few saying to give it a good 10-15 mins before resending it. Might take a bit longer right now with the updates and activity on the site

    2. Elite Cowboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No, me neither.

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah no verification email for me

    4. Adzy
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Same for me too

  5. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Legit gutted I wasn't F5-ing at launch time 😆
    At least 11700 is memorable!

    1. rupopo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Nice work Hazz. I also skilfully picked a memorable one 29,000

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        You can be proud of that one!

    2. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I managed 10,000 exactly. Was gutted to miss launch but actually pretty pleased with it now.

      1. rupopo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Jammy jambot 😉

  6. Santi sensei
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Winks 4.5. Hope he goes to Everton

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bailly 4m, could be nice if he ends up at Fulham

  8. LT10
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Neco Williams at 4.0 could be useful (if he gets a move somewhere). Plays awesome for Wales.

    1. Z
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I think that he will stay as a backup

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Technically Liverpool have 3 players as backup for TAA right now (Ramsey, Williams, Gomez). At least one of them will surely go out on loan

      2. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Conor Bradley says hello.

        1. Indpush
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          On loan to Bolton Wanderers

  9. No_Mo_Salah?
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Jesus at 8m..
    Nice!

    1. Gold Monster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Nice price

  10. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Oh no - bench boost survived

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Of course it did 🙂

  11. PartyTime
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I’m about to waste the next 1 year of my life on fpl just like I always do.

    This is probably my purpose in life

  12. Z
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Sooo....whitch player is the "ultimate steal"?

    1. Feanor
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      TAA

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Jesus.

  13. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    So nothing has changed. What was the point of them sending out the e-mail to people asking what changes they'd like to see? 😆

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe all of the suggestions were dumb?

    2. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      so weird!

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      they changed the colours

  14. Feanor
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    App not working yet?

  15. OPTA FPL
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Andreas Pereira 4.5, strongly linked to Fulham recent weeks

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Fulham already bid 12m accepted by United, all depends on him

    2. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Good shout - id be surprised if that deal isnt done.

  16. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    RIP strikers.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      why?

    2. Zimo
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Haaland and Jesus look tasty though

      1. Z
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        This

  17. JonGTFC
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Any good threads on team names knocking about?

  18. Clintymints
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Hmm, no verification email? What's going on here, FPL

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      you need to click send verification email again sometimes

      1. Clintymints
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        No dice, retried a few times, mobile, app and chromebook!

        I guess i'll check later

        1. rascalthebear
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          You using outlook? I can’t get an alert from it, had to change email address. Mad

  19. M00N
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bailey 5m midfielder, if only he could nail down a starting place

  20. TheTinman
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Unlimited transfers over the world cup is essentially a 3rd wildcard. Don't think that was necessary

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      interesting, didn't know that

      1. TheTinman
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        It presents an obvious tactic

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

      Yeah I can see the point of it but I'd rather if we had to just hold a WC for that period

  21. Chilli Heatwave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    3 wildcards, interesting.

    1. TheTinman
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah not a fan. Not needed

  22. OPTA FPL
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Neco Wiilliam 4.0, strongly link to Nottingham and Fulham

  23. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    don’t have access to my old email address, won’t let me update my new email address.

  24. R.C.
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Template is set!

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    free hit survives, some people said it went

  26. Babit1967
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Made a lovely 3-4-3 assuming Raphinha went to Chelsea of course

    Sanchez (4.0)
    Cancelo Cash Gabriel (4.5) (4.0)
    Son Dias Raphinha Martinelli (4.5)
    Haaland Nunez Jesus

    1. Z
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I rly cant support team wo TAA (but i like it)

  27. Adzy
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else having issues logging in? It is asking me to verify email but I am receiving no email

    1. rascalthebear
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      You on outlook? I had this and had to change to another email it’s mad.

      1. Adzy
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Ye I am, seems odd why would it need a different email address I've been using the same one for years.

  28. Z
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    LETS RATE SOME TEMAS!!!

    What a time to be alive! 🙂

    1. JonGTFC
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Mendy (Raya)

      Trent Perisic Tomiyasu Robbo (Dunk)

      ASM BrunoG Grealish Diaz (Aaronson)

      Kane Haaland (Undav)

      Yes, i know, no Salah and too much £ on the bench.

  29. Chilli Heatwave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Jesus at 8m really a welcome surprise.

  30. Third Wildcard!
    J0E
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Third Wildcard!

    Unlimited free transfers can also be made between Sat 12 Nov 13:30 and Mon 26 Dec 13:30 when the Premier League season has been adjusted to accommodate the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

    This means we only need to plan for say 6-8 weeks, then use first wildcard up until GWK 16, use the extra effective wildcard gw 16 to Dec 26, trouser the third wildcard and all chips until the doubles later on. Sorted.

    Was the main new rule I spotted. Any others? How will you use the extra wildcard?

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Bench Boost GW1, WC shortly after.

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      BB GW1, WC GW2, WC GW9

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        WC7 BB8 WC9

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          looks like I read this completely wrong, it would be BB1, WC2, 'WC'17 - I still like it

    3. J0E
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Can go for a really unbalanced team early on for example with Son, Haaland and Salah and then sort out on a wildcard after a few weeks. Or safely transfer out Salah knowing you can wildcard back in.

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Given that it's not technically listed as a WC, does that mean that any saved FT will be carried to the other side of the WC?

      1. Simwalt
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Very good question!
