With nearly 11 million players in 2023/24, the Fantasy Premier League attracts a lot of Premier League fans every season. Whether it is being in a league with their mates or just doing it for themselves most weekends during the football season consist of watching lots of Premier League football to see if the players they have selected score plenty of points.
With the new season fast approaching in under a month, the Premier League have revealed a handful of player prices from each of the twenty clubs that make up the table. As a player myself, I highly recommend every PL fan to play the FPL.
On that note, here is a brief look at the rules as a reminder to those who already play and an insight for those who haven't played FPL before.
Basic Rules |
|---|
Your squad must consist of 15 players. They are made up as 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 forwards |
The total value of your initial squad cannot exceed £100 million |
You can select a maximum of 3 players from a single Premier League team |
You must select a captain and a vice-captain each gameweek. Your captain scores double points and your vice-captain will do the same if the captain does not play |
Once the first gameweek has concluded, you will be allowed 1 free transfer before the next round starts |
If you make more than 1 then you will be deducted 4 points from your total score for each additional transfer you make |
There are several chips that can be used once a season. Bench boost (allowing your substitutes to score points), Free hit (unlimited transfers in one game week and then team goes back to what it was before), Triple Captain (triple points for the captain) and Wildcard (unlimited transfers and team will remain that way after the gameweek ends) |
This season there are certain new rules coming into play which will make the football season even better for all football fans.
New rules |
|---|
Players can bank up to five free transfers. Free transfers previously rolled onto the next gameweek for a maxium of 2 free transfers if the player didn't use the option in the previous game week. Now, that will increase to up to five rather than two |
A new chip called ' the Mystery chip' will be introduced in January 2025 |
A shot on target will be worth 2 Bonus Points, a goal-line clearance will be worth 3 Bonus Points, a foul won will be worth 1 Bonus Point |
Anyway, if you wish to know more about the rules you can head to the Premier League website for more information. So, let's take a look at some of the early West Ham price reveals for the 2024/25 season.
