Fantasy Premier League 23/24 is GO!! ** SPOILERS**

[48k]

With most of the player prices announced over the last couple of days, the new game for the 23/24 season is rumoured to launch at 4pm today. The website has just changed over to the "the game is updating and will be available soon" holding page so it must be imminent.

Can't wait to get started on a draft. Have people been following the price moves and position changes? Are we going to see even more template sides than last season, with very high ownership for the likes of Haaland, TAA, Fernandes and Mitoma ? What's your thoughts?

The League has been renewed so if you were in it last season then you should be in it this too.

Haaland at $14M!

Ooof, that'll be a head wrangle in initial selection

Surprised it wasn't higher tbh. I can still see him being >90% owned this season.

Edit: as of yesterday with just over half a million teams registered, he was 81.5% owned

Everyone seems to be going 3-5-2 with Haaland and Jesus up front and then perming a midfield 5 from Bruno / Rashford / Mitoma / Saka / Mbuemo / Salah / Odegaard, with TAA and Esupinan as two of the defenders. Going to be a very template season by the looks of it.

I can hope haha, then when I inevitably forget to change my team I won't suffer like usual.

I'm looking forward to it all starting again for sure.

I always go into these things with the best of intentions and inevitably lose interest after e few weeks. My son has been bugging me to do a team since it went live this year though so might have to relent and give it a go.

I assume a team is allowed to participate in multiple leagues?

Absolutely, but your team will be the same across all leagues and technically you're not supposed to have multiple teams. Doesn;t stop some having dozens of teams trying to win a weekly prize.

Completed my team this afternoon, happy with it.

(that's before the inevitable 357 edits I make to it! )

So true!

With the amount of videos being put out daily by the FPL content creatures it's a wonder I can make any decisions at all.

Are there any plans for a head-to-head PH league ?

Still asking the ... is Haaland worth that much question too?

For me it's a question of "can you afford not to have him" ?

In his first season in the Prem, he has defied both his reputation for missing large numbers of games through injury, and his managers reputation for squad rotation, and won the golden boot by 6 goals over Harry Kane.

He is currently 85.8% owned. Which will likely translate to a 150+% effective ownership in GW 1-7 due to Man City's fixtures.

Unless he is injured at the start of the season, the Haaland train is one you can't afford to miss.

If you have him and he blanks, no one else gains on you as they have him too. If he hauls, everyone gets points. If he hauls and you don’t have him, then you’re left in the dust compared to everyone else. At that level of ownership he’s a must have.

Ah, here's the thread.

A nice summer off, set up a placeholder team but on holiday in dismal UK weather so a good time to do some tinkering.

It's basically a question of which other 14 players do you pick for £86m isn't it?!

Need to buy some cheap defenders now.
