This is it: after two months of team drafts, RMTs, derailed bandwagons, pre-season red herrings, transfer sagas, injury scares and endless Twitter threads, the 2023/24 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season gets underway.

We’ve collated all our Gameweek 1-specific content in this article to help you make those big calls before Friday evening.

But make sure to check out our comprehensive pre-season page for a lot, lot more information on the action and news that has taken place over the summer. There are dozens upon dozens of other articles such as Scout Notes on the pre-season friendlies, Scout Reports on the new signings and plenty more besides.

And don’t forget your Fantasy Football Scout subscription before the new campaign. There’s still 30% off on annual subscriptions and the price you pay now will be locked in for the duration of your Membership!
