Fantasy Premier League is so very nearly back in our lives.
In two weeks’ time, as the 2026-27 Premier League season kicks off, the world’s favourite fantasy football game gets under way in earnest with the Gameweek One deadline (6.30pm UK time/1.30pm ET).
Perhaps you’re a hardcore FPL veteran who has spent the summer curating draft line-ups and poring over projected defensive contribution numbers, or you’re a rookie who wants to put their knowledge and instinct to the test as you try your hand at besting your friends and family over the next nine months or so.
However you categorise yourself, we’re hoping that over the next few weeks as we build up to the new season, you’ll enjoy expert advice from The Athletic that makes a real difference to your FPL strategy.
You’ll read articles from Holly Shand and Abdul Rehman, and be able to react to last-minute injury news via Ben Dinnery’s live Q&As.
