FPL 2024/25 pre-season guide: Tips, best players, fixtures + more
Fantasy Premier League (FPL) will soon be live for 2024/25 – and we will have everything you need to set you up for the new campaign on this page.
All of our pre-season content will be collated in this article, which will be regularly refreshed between now and Gameweek 1. Make sure you bookmark it now and revisit it regularly.
There is analysis of the Premier League fixture list, while there will also be a position-by-position rundown of the player price list in FPL.
Analysis of all 20 top-flight teams, Scout Reports on new signings and Moving Target articles on those switching allegiance will follow, too.
Any information we learn from the various pre-season friendlies, be it line-ups, goals, assists or wider Fantasy talking points, will also be documented here. Those warm-up matches begin in July and there will be Scout Notes on every single friendly, which you can access by clicking on the fixture in the club-by-club guide below.
A lot of our content is free but, to gain access to every single article we publish and benefit from all the tools and stats on offer in our Premium Members Area, subscribe or upgrade now.
