Who is the best FPL captain for Gameweek 1?

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.

Gameweek 1 kicks off with Burnley v Manchester City and we are collating all our tips and advice in this article to help you make those big calls before Friday evening.

Captaincy content, transfer dilemmas, team reveals – you name it, you’ll find it on this page, which will be regularly updated between now and the FPL deadline at 18:30 BST on Friday 11 August.

But don’t forget 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.

Don’t forget your Fantasy Football Scout subscription before the new campaign. Following tens of thousands of FPL managers in signing up for a Premium Membership in 2023/24 to give yourself the best chance at Fantasy success!

There’s still 30% off on annual subscriptions and the price you pay now will be locked in for the duration of your Membership.
