Photo by The Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is back, and with it comes a host of new rules and changes that will shape the way you play the game this season. As we count down to the start of the 2024/25 campaign, it’s essential to get to grips with the latest developments and how they will impact your strategy.
New season, new rules
First up, the extra free transfers are a game-changer. Gone are the days of being limited to just two free transfers, as players can now horde up to five for future use. This change opens up new possibilities for handling transfers and will undoubtedly influence the way you approach the game. For instance, you can use your extra free transfers to keep your team ticking over when you’re happy with your squad, reducing the need to make panicked changes.
Furthermore, when you use wildcards and free hits, you won’t lose all your banked free transfers. This is a significant reduction in the impact of our chips, which will likely change the way we approach the game.
Martin Odegaard, one of Arsenal’s most expensive players in FPL
Another crucial aspect to consider is the reduced power of chips. With the change in the Premier League schedule, the strategy of carefully hordeing wildcards for key doubles at the end of the season is no longer as important. However, it’s still worth holding onto triple captain and free hit for possible small double or blank weeks.
As we navigate the new season, it’s also essential to keep an eye on the transfer market. The likes of Victor Osimhen, who has been linked with a move to the Premier League, could have a significant impact on the FPL landscape. Osimhen’s £113 million price tag has stalled a potential Premier League move, but with Chelsea, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain all interested, it’s a situation worth monitoring closely.
Bukayo Saka, the most expensive Arsenal player in FPL
In terms of individual players, Bukayo Saka is the most expensive Arsenal player in FPL, with a price tag of £10 million. Martin Odegaard follows closely, priced at £8.5 million, while Kai Havertz is £8 million. Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber complete the top five, priced at £6.5 million and £5.5 million respectively.
As we delve deeper into the new season, it’s crucial to stay up-to-date with the latest developments and adapt your strategy accordingly. With the extra free transfers and reduced power of chips, the game is set to be more unpredictable than ever. Will you stick to your tried-and-true approach, or will you adapt to the changing landscape of FPL?
The game is on
The Fantasy Premier League is back, and it’s time to get ready. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a newcomer to the game, this season promises to be one of the most exciting yet. So, gather your team, get ready to strategize, and may the best manager win.
