FPL is live for 2024/25: All you need to know

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.

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.

    Best 5th mid in a 3-4-3?

    Nothing @ 4.5m, so need to go for 5m - Soucek or McTominay? Any other 5m options?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Watching to see how Wharton is used in preseason.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        Good call…can be quite attacking?

    2. Moxon
      • 10 Years

      Morgan Rogers

      1. Jafooli

        Who he? lol…

        1. Moxon
          • 10 Years
          3 months, 14 days ago

          Got 3G 1A for Villa in 636 minutes last season. Also scored 2 goals in a friendly earlier today

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            Noted and many thanks…

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      I have Luongo currently, but I wont pretend to know much about him or Ipswich. 4.5m

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        Never heard of him…

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 5 Years
          3 months, 14 days ago

          pre-season will reveal the best 4.5 mid.

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            True enough…

    4. David Parkinson
      • 2 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Harry Winks is 4.5m. Nailed at Leicester last season so could well be an option this.

  2. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    Best 4.0m defs? As 2nd & 3rd bench fodder, with hope of regular starts…

    1. sirmorbach
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Faes and Harwood-Bellis, I think.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        Cheers Sir M…

  3. Khalico
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    Looking into 4.5m defender options.. any suggestions especially wingbacks at that price

    1. Big Mike
      • 2 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Moreno and Digne at Villa are both 4.5 but they are both left backs, so it's a toss up who plays. Ait Nouri is also 4.5 but he's got cr*p fixtures. Other worthy mentions are Mykolenko and Livramento.

  4. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    Pickford & Leno look like best GK options? But can’t have Both so possibly CHE 4.5m for GW 2 & 4 for Pickford two tougher fixtures and if guess wrong CHE GK, then Pickford plays anyway?

  5. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    Is Ortega 5.5m because of that save against Tottenham?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      there has been some saudi interest in Ederson. FPL towers thinking he could leave.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 13 days ago

        And if Ederson leaves or gets injured long term, Ortega would naturally be a steal if priced any lower. Definitely clever pricing.

  6. Babit1967
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    First draft

    Pope
    Martinez Saliba Gvardiol
    Salah KDB Saka Eze Garnacho
    Isak Toney

    4.0 4.5 4.5 4.0

    Unsure on the subs as yet but how's the first 11?

  7. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    FH chip disappeared? Quite liked that chip…

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      its still there, they just hide it for GW1 I guess.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        Ah okay, cheers HYSC…

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 5 Years
          3 months, 14 days ago

          np, WC also hidden.

  8. Warby84
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    Henderson (Iverson)
    Trent Gvardiol Van de Ven (Munoz 4.0)
    Salah Saka (c) Gordon Kudus (Hudson-O)
    Muniz Watkins Havertz

    First draft..

    1. sirmorbach
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Not bad at all. No City up front could be a problem, but can't have them all.

      I would get Foden instead of Saka since you've got Havertz, but I can understand your pick.

      1. Warby84
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        Thinking about C options… So would have Salah/Saka as my main C.. May go Nkunku over Kudus?

  9. Dat Guy Welbz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    I think Brennan Johnson will be a quality differential.

    1. Big Mike
      • 2 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Maybe, but will he play? There are three attacking midfield slots available, and Son is nailed as he's captain. So that leaves Johnson, Maddison and Kulusevski vying for the other two slots.

      1. Dat Guy Welbz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        He was a regular at the back end of last season

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 5 Years
          3 months, 14 days ago

          he scored today in a friendly

  10. Big Mike
    • 2 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    Richarlison or Mateta?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Neither imo.

  11. sirmorbach
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    Without Haaland, can one afford to go without Foden?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Yeah of course.

    2. Big Mike
      • 2 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      No

    3. 3 A
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      No. Its so scary going without City attacker.

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      I wouldn't tbh. The biggest risk is that we don't when he will play first time.

  12. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    First draft - not sure if I have the courage to go without Haaland though.

    Sánchez
    TAA Burn Mykolenko
    Salah Palmer Saka Nkunku
    Watkins Isak Pedro

    4.0 Andersen 4.0 4.5

    Thoughts?

  13. Emp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    anyt forwards nailed at 5.5?

    1. Emp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      besides pedro

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Vardy?

  14. EgyptianKing
    • 6 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    Any view on Liverpool attackers besides Salah?

    Worth to bring any of the 7.5 guys or avoid for the first GWs?

    I am tempted by TAA + Mo + Jota

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      We don't know starting XI and even though Jota has been good for me, he is at least minutes risk if not also rotation risk. If I somehow manage to save free transfers and he starts regularly he becomes an option.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      Gakpo played extremely well in Euros. Liverpool has new manager and if I was the man, I would at least consider using him in same role that he plays for his country. But I would also use Salah more centrally, TAA wide etc 😉

      However, at least now is too early to guess how they will shape up imo. Very high risk, but "only" high reward imo.

  15. Emp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 14 days ago

    adam armstrong nailed on pens?

  16. nonaynever
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 13 days ago

    Friday night gamble anyone?

    Areola (Turner)
    Shaw, Martinez, Dalot (Anderson, H-B)
    Salah, Gordon, Eze, Nkunku, CHO
    Haaland, Watkins (Pedro)

    not sure between Nkunku & Kudus

    will Utd keep a clean sheet?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 13 days ago

      I wouldn't bet on it. That double up reminds me owning Onana at the start of last season. It didn't go well.

  17. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 months, 13 days ago

    I have dilemma that no-one else has 😉 If I have Haaland, rest of team sucks. If I don't have him, I have C issue come gw2. And what if Foden is not in form? Finding hidden gems like Palmer last season isn't easy. And even players like MGW aren't dirt cheap.

  18. sankalparora07

    Is Eze transfer to MCI confirmed or still in doubt?...I am really not sure whether to go with him or not
