Fantasy Premier League (FPL) has gone live for the 2024/25 season – and managers can now set their squads up for the new campaign.

The launch comes after a week of price reveals in which 176 Premier League players were priced up across all 20 top-flight clubs.

We’ll begin rounding up the newly released prices in more articles to come.

LIVE REACTION

WHAT’S NEW IN FPL

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) had previously said there will be “exciting new features” in this season’s game.

On Tuesday, FPL finally announced three major changes: the ability to roll up to five transfers (and keep the saved ones after using a chip), a new Mystery Chip, and minor tweaks to the scoring system/Bonus Points System.

You can read all about them here.

The interface has also been altered, including the welcome move of the chips to an area where they are less likely to be accidentally clicked:

WHAT’S STAYED THE SAME IN FPL

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

Aside from the ‘Mystery Chip’, the other chips are as they were (two Wildcards, one Free Hit, one Bench Boost and one Triple Captain).

The Gameweek deadlines remain at 90 minutes prior to the first kick-off.

Other than goalkeepers getting 10 points for a goal, there are no other direct changes to the scoring system – so no ball recoveries, as some were predicting.


YOUR FPL ESSENTIALS FOR 2024/25

­FPL Gameweek 38 Scout Picks: Title-chasers dominate

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, 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
Enzo Maresca at Chelsea: What we can expect in FPL 5

There have been some high-profile transfers already taking place this summer and we will be 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.

SEASON TICKER

    Best Aston Villa 4.5? Keep seeing Konsa everywhere, so I assume Cash/Digne/Moreno all too risky minutes-wise.

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Maatsen priced above Digne & Moreno at 5m suggests they think he'll be first choice but any of them are a little risky. Also don't know what will happen with Mings/Pau so Konsa is the safe option

    2. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      The wing backs will be a rotation nightmare imo with CL.

  2. Sloths
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    RMT please?

    Pope / 4.0
    Gvardiol, White, Gabriel, Robinson, Anderson
    Eze, Bowen, Saka, Foden, Gordon
    Gakpo, Isak, Muniz

    1. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Front line is going to come in for a bit of criticism I think.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      This is not the year for 'Big at the Back'.

      1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Totally agree with that. Defenders will score less across the board. Plus we are going to have multiple starting 4.0s from promoted sides. Probably the way to go this year.

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Looks like a team with money in the bank. Nothing wrong with that, though.

  3. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Medical today for Yoro.

  4. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Garnacho or Kudus?

    1. MattB
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Neither, find budget for someone better

  5. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Which team's attacker is more important?

    1. Chelsea
    2. Spurs

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      1

    2. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Don’t have any Spurs atm, but I might be tempted by Johnson at some stage. Son doesn’t quite stack up to the other premium options for me.

    3. MattB
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      2 without a doubt, everyone forgetting how spurs started last year and Chelsea’s is anyones guess who plays

  6. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Which team's defence is the worst?

    1. Leicester
    2. Southampton
    3. Ipswich

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      2

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      2

  7. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    I'm keen on a Newcastle defender at 4.5, but between Burn, Hall and Livramento, I don't know who has secure minutes.
    And then of course if Howe takes the England gig, everything's up in the air at Toon.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      With Botman out for a while I'd say Burn

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Nailed at centre-back? Sure Kelly won't challenge?

    2. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Livramento might be a shout actually, but maybe a decision to make a little closer to the deadline.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        I've done a 10-week rotation and figured Van Der Ven is a better fit anyway. Already got Gordon and Isak too.

        1. InsertPunHere
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          What’s the rest of your defence? Curious what this rotation looks like.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 13 Years
            1 year, 5 months ago

            Gvardiol, Branthwaite, Konsa, Colwill and VDV.

  8. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Harwood-Bellis is this seasons Beyer

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't touch Soto defense

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Will McCarthy be Saints nailed on keeper until Bazunu is fit again?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        If you want cheap and suicidal, the 4 million Iversen/Ward double act is back, baby!

  9. InsertPunHere
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    1 mil over…

    Petrovic | Henderson
    Gvardiol | Saliba | Konsa | Guehi | CHE 4.5
    Palmer | Saka | Foden | 6.5 | 4.5
    Watkins | Isak | Havertz

    A) Havertz-> Solanke/Mateta, Saliba-> Timber (Calafiori dependent)
    B) Havertz-> Muniz and upgrade 6.5 to Gordon
    C) Move Petrovic/Henderson and one of the 4.5 defenders to 4.0 players
    D) Something completely different

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Havertz to Calvert Lewin.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      B

  10. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Garnacho or Nkunku?

    1. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      I’d lean towards Nkunku out of those two.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Nkunku

  11. Jaws
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Anyone knows the reason why Fatawu from LEI does not feature in the players list?

    1. Skonto Rigga
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      He wasn't officially signed permanently until yesterday, Jaws - so they likely had their price list ready to go before then

      1. Jaws
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Much appreciated. Thx.

  12. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    What do we think - is Timber nailed?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Too soon to say. Could be inverted left back or something, but with Califiori, Arteta has a surfeit of riches in defence.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Cant know for sure but I'm punting on him +1m over white

      1. InsertPunHere
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        If he’s nailed I think he becomes Ars defender of choice fairly quickly at .5/1 cheaper than his colleagues.

  13. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Who's your 4.5m defender of choice? I'm on Leif Davis atm...

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Konsa, Colwill, Van der Ven right now. Burn in reserve.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        I like Konsa

    2. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      ATM I have Konsa, Guehi, and one other (currently undecided).

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        My Palace is in goal.

        1. Moderately content penguin
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          Well to get a Palace gk you need two 4.5s

          1. Andy_Social
            • 13 Years
            1 year, 5 months ago

            Are you saying Johnstone is back in play?

            1. Moderately content penguin
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 5 months ago

              Yep.

              Looks to be in training. First preseason match this weekend will be evidence.

              1. Andy_Social
                • 13 Years
                1 year, 5 months ago

                Argh. Might go Petrovic and Guehi then.

                1. Moderately content penguin
                  • 7 Years
                  1 year, 5 months ago

                  Would that be Guehi at Liverpool? 😉

                  Could be value there - feels unlikely he’ll be at Palace come September.

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Andersen, Cash, Castagne

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      dunk

    5. Tea for the Tielemans
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      I have three at the moment: Tosin, Burn, Andersen. All this is very subject to change based on what preseason suggests about usage.

      Leif Davis could be a really sexy pick, but I'm leaning towards a conservative approach in early drafts and trying to stick with more established teams.

    6. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Konsa, Robinson and Martínez so far. Subject to change as pre-season unfolds

  14. Roshen
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Haaland + Salah draft doesn't look that bad:

    Pope, 4.0
    Saliba, Burn, Martinez, Andersen, 4.0
    Salah, Odegard, Gordon, Garnacho, Hudson-Odoi
    Haaland, Gakpo, 4.5

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Pretty bad tbh

      1. InsertPunHere
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Looks better with Mateta/Solanke instead of Gakpo tbf. However, I think this season we might all want a bit more on our benches to be able to roll over those transfers a tad more easily in case of injury/suspension.

      2. Roshen
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        I'm not happy only with Garnacho, rest are gtg. We might still get some decent 6.5 option before season starts

        Gakpo is a wait and see of course, depends on Darwin situation

        1. Roshen
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          it can also be 4.5 gk + Eze

  15. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Looks like everyone will have their (C) on Isak GW 1.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      I'm on Salah atm

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Hardly. Salah's at ipswich.

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      yea

  16. Tea for the Tielemans
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    So now the waiting game begins for a 4.0 GK to emerge from the ooze.

  17. Timon
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Areola,
    Guehi, VdV, Burn, Ben Johnson,
    Gordon, Mo, Palmer, Garnacho
    Watkins, Haaland

    Bench fodders, 0 ITB.

    The game has been won people.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Ew

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Is that Mo Salah ? If so I'm surprised it's affordable which is a good sign.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Can't be Salah squad value would be 101.5m

    3. Jaws
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Burn is not a starter anymore. Keep an eye on him.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        I need to know this too. Botman and Lascelles are out long term, so shouldn't he be first choice CB with Schar?

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          That's what I'm thinking.

        2. Jaws
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          Apparently he isn’t anymore. I’ve read several comments from Newcastle fans that he’s not first choice anymore although Howe always rated him. Pre-season should answer this.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 13 Years
            1 year, 5 months ago

            Right, cheers. I'll keep an eye on it.

    My draft is ready. Come on GW1.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      The hardest challenge all season is to leave the perfect first draft alone for a month!

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Agree - just looking to complete mind shortly then park until week before season - possible reassess fixtures/signs in & out plus preseason - so much but always exciting to get this first draft done - I have already picked six different teams so agree with you Andy

  20. davewg59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Garnacho or Rashford guys?

    1. F4L

    My first and only draft (lies)

    Thinking Mbuemo / Armstrong rotation for a bit....

    Foden Fernandes Gordon Saka Palmer
    Isak Muniz

  23. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years

    Best max. 7.0m midfielder?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Could be Rashford or Mitoma - risky picks with huge upsides.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Yeah I've gone for Garnacho atm. with 0.5m itb

    Possible BB1 squad?

    Vicario | Henderson
    Gvardiol | Saliba | Guehi | Konsa | Porro
    Saka | Gordon | Diaz | Maddison | Gibbs-White
    Watkins | Isak | Gakpo/Darwin

      has it upside but just not sure about burning WC chip in GW2. With more premiums about if 1 or 2 get injured and you need to move funds around will be tough to do with with just 1/2 hits

    Are Eze and Mbeumo on set pieces?

      Both should be on pens imo.

        I think Toney is on penalties at Brentford. But I'm not sure, set pieces page is down

          Oh yeah, forgot about Toney. I think Toney will get a move though

    Has anybody else had problems with the squad value calculations? I entered the team below FPL said I had left 3.0m ITB, which I knew was wrong so I added up all the players values and they came to 95.0 with 1 mid to add. So I quit out and reentered the team, and it added up correctly to 95m.

    Flekken (Valdimarsson)
    Saliba, Guehi, Konsa, Burn, Taylor
    Palmer, Foden, Neto, xxxxxx (4.5)
    Haaland, Watkins, Havertz

    So with 5.0 ITB all I need to find now is this year Cole Palmer.

    First crack of the whip:

    Henderson
    TAA/Gvardiol/Gabriel
    Saka/Foden/Bruno/Gordon/Nkunku
    Watkins/Havertz

    Petrovic Burn/4.5 str/4.0 def

    I've just removed Colwill. CHE have a load of tasty 4.5 defenders, but I just realised they've already spunked nearly £100m on new players this summer, some of whom are defenders. Way too tricky nailing minutes in that crowd.

      just buy the keeper? that's what i've done

      1. Andy_Social

        He's 2nd choice after Henderson. If there's doubt over who has the Palace gloves I'll plump for Petrovic

    Two forwards alongside Haaland.

    A) Isak, Havertz
    B) Watkins, Gakpo

    #56021 with Gvardiol, Gabriel and Rashford on auto pick who I was thinking of getting anyway!

      I got those 3 as well - suspect the auto pick team was actually better than what I will end up with.
