With 48 hours to go, there are still a few final tickets remaining for Fantasy Football Fest – the world’s largest gathering of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) enthusiasts.

That’s right: for the fourth year running, we’re inviting FPL managers to come to London and kick off the season in style.

Final tickets remain for Friday's Fantasy Football Fest

Fantasy Football Fest will take place on Friday 16 August 2024. Starting in the traditional 15:00 slot, this event will carry on into the night.

It all takes place at Vauxhall Beer & Food Garden, located right by Vauxhall train station and very easy to get to.

This amazing new venue allows Fest ’24 to be the biggest and best yet. There’ll be a roundtable Q&A with some notable Fantasy luminaries, a comedy set, plus some competitions and games. All alongside a selection of food and drinks – one of which is free, thanks to Sleeper.

Of course, the main event will be the first FPL deadline of 2024/25 taking place at 18:30. Everyone can then unwind by watching Manchester United v Fulham on a big screen from 20:00.

You’ll be in the same place as big characters from the community like Mark Sutherns, Az Phillips, FPL Family and FPL Harry. Why not come and meet them?

We encourage mini-leagues to come along and kick off their season together, just like we encourage people to come alone. Fest has always been a very welcoming and inclusive event for all managers – even if your FPL team is rubbish!

    I don’t get the lack of love for Onana - they are defensively minded and he was one of the top performing keeper second half of last season. What am I missing?

      His stats are good and he makes lots of saves but they won't be rewarded as well this season. I personally prefer Pope and Pickford ahead of Onana though.

    I caught up with my friend from high school, he is a physio and takes on Dutch clients and he told me he was working with Kenny Tete of Fulham this pre-season and was with the team during the camp in Portugal. Wanted share some info I got from him since every bit of info helps at the beginning of the season since we have so little to go on.

    He said that Tete was confident that he will start against Manchester United and during the pre season he was ahead of Castagne. This could be due to Castagne participating in the Euros or wishful thinking by Tete. Don't forget Castagne can also play leftback so Robinson might be in danger to but it's a long shot imo.

    Leno is coming to the season in form. Makes me feel confident going for a Fulham defender (Probably Robinson)

    Iwobi the focal point of the attack but we don't usually see this transferred to FPL points and there was no Smith Rowe most of the pre season.

    Adama also comes to the season in form. Might need to monitor a while before he comes into the thinking. He is 0.5 cheaper than other Fulham attackers at 5.5m which could allow funds saved.

    He also said that Fulham as a team looked sharp and might push for a top half finish but imo I find that difficult with Palhinha gone and strenght of other teams that might push for similar place finish.

          Last season they were scarce at any point not just the beginning of the season 😆

          Thinking Hall, Barco, and Robinson aren't bad attacking wise so will go with them for now and see what happens 🙂

            Hoping Barco does something GW1 after which he is buried on my bench, then switching to Robinson so don’t disagree on him

            Is hall attacking? I’ve gone pope for NC defence, but largely coz I don’t necessarily want to manage a potential changing landscape and none of the 4.5 keepers appeal

              Yeah he has been in preseason bombing down the left, and I think he's nailed that position down now 🙂

              I know what you mean about the £4.5m goalkeepers and totally agree none of them seem to leap off the page at me so gone with Henderson out of hope more than anything. Mind you, Palace did alright defensively towards the end of last season so hoping that trend continues...

              Keeping an eye on the Hammers defence as we've made a couple of shrewd signings so hoping they gel and do better than last season (which shouldn't be that hard to do lol) 🙂

    Quansah, Saliba, Porro (4.0, 4.0)
    Saka, Eze, Nkunku, Jota, Gordon
    Haaland, Isak (Pedro)

    Tempted to downgrade Gordon to ESR and upgrade Pedro to Solanke.

    Harwood-Bellis the best 4m defender for bench fodder?
    Barco's high ownership putting me off him as could be a potential price drop there if dosen't start a match in the early fixtures.

      Don’t think anyone will be shipping a 4.0 defender- not like there is a serious upside

      Happened with turner but that was because there was areola

    Haaland Isak Solanke

    4.0, Robinson, Barco, Winks

    Thoughts - defence too light weight?
    Cheers.

    Any thoughts or comments on Minteh???, have considered ESR but leaning to Minteh due to pre-season form and high potential for returns

    My starting midfield is Salah/Jota/Gordon/Minteh
    Frwds are - Isak/Haaland/Woods
