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
If you’ve been taking a well-earned break from all things FPL over the summer, welcome back. If you’ve stayed with us through Euro Fantasy, thanks for your dedication!
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
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
Our Season Ticker can help you sort by opponent difficulty to spot those upcoming fixture swings, while you can also find out which teams’ matches rotate well.
Liverpool, for example, are top of our Season Ticker over the first eight Gameweeks of 2024/25 – but there are some tough games ahead for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
