From Scout Picks to team news, all our content and tips for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 1 will appear here.
After a packed summer of Euro 2024, Copa America and Olympics action, the Premier League is finally back. And so is FPL!
There has been some interesting player pricing from FPL Towers, in an attempt to prevent template teams across the community. Combined with new head coaches and a still-open transfer window, there’s a whole range of team drafts being thrown around in panic before the first deadline of Friday 16 August at 18:30 BST.
For all your transfer dilemmas, chip-related conundrums and captaincy quandaries, make sure to keep checking back here for the latest articles ahead of the FPL deadline.
Also remember to take a look at our comprehensive Pre-Season Guide, which houses valuable information like friendly minutes, goals and assists as well as a whole host of other interesting articles.
