FPL launch 2017/18 – Rules Changes and Player Price list
Welcome to FPL launch 2017/18 – Rules Changes and Player Price list. And finally we’re back to normality… No more wondering how to fill those days in the office, pretending to be working on that big project but secretly with an FPL tab or ten open at the bottom. We can finally start tinkering again as the game for the 2017/18 has been launched and the player prices along with it. Let the GW1 RMT’s commence in earnest!
Whether you are new to the game or a relative veteran let’s get some of the basics out of the way –
To either register as a new user or simply renew your team you need to click here… FPL 2017/18
If you have played previously then that will simply allow you to re-register. You will be issued with a new ‘FPL ID’ number though – if you usually link your team to your username on FF247 then you will have to update that link here or you will be showing somebody else’s team. Click on the link and then follow the instructions entitled ‘How do I link my ‘display name’ to my fantasy team?’.
New Rules
After two seasons spent trying to figure out what on earth to do with the All Out Attack chip we can finally forget that one as it’s been replaced with the ‘Free Hit’ chip. We won’t labour the point as we are sure it will be discussed in depth below but basically it means that you can change your entire squad for one week and then it will revert to what it was previously the week after that – particularly useful for such occurrences as a blank (ish) GW or indeed a double one. It adds a layer of strategy to the game, one which will be debated long and hard as to when it will be best to use it.
FPL themselves released this article to explain it fully.
New player prices – some of the new players to the Premiership or those who have changed teams that may interest you:
Alexandre Lacazette (Arsenal) – 10.5m
Jermain Defoe (Bournemouth) – 8.0m
Antonio Rudiger (Chelsea) – 6.0m
Sandro Ramirez (Everton) – 7.5m
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – 9.0m
Bernardo Silva (Man City) – 8.0m
Romelu Lukaku (Man Utd) – 11.5m
And some selected old favourites:
Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal) – 12.0m
Eden Hazard (Chelsea) – 10.5m
Seamus Coleman (Everton) – 6.5m
Sadio Mane (Liverpool) – 9.5m
Sergio Aguero (Man City) – 11.5m
Antonio Valencia (Man Utd) – 6.5m
Harry Kane (Spurs) – 12.5m
Gylfi Sigurdsson (Swansea) – 8.5m
You will all have your own views and may spot the glaring bargain that we have missed. So please share your thoughts below on both the new changes to the game (the chips) and also your thoughts on the prices and maybe you’ve even begun to draft your initial squad.
Start posting RMT’s by all means. It’s a long and arduous process so the earlier you start the better! There will be many doing the same so sharing thoughts and ideas on either players, formations or tactics is always welcomed.
For our part we will start posting our pre-season articles on a regular basis now. We will have rundowns on the promoted teams, new signing articles and also coverage of the pre-season games as we build toward GW1 of yet another new season.

1st draft…I feel like this is very risky. thoughts?
I agree that it’s risky. Downgrade a mid to a 4.5 for the bench. You can save 1m if you downgrade Daniels to a 4.5 and Bertrand to Cedric. Upgradr Klaasen/Redmond. Klaasen’s fixtures are poor after GW1

Not sure I did pick a five a-side team, Fantasy…
Nor can I count haha
Wassup!
Hope everyone is having a good summer.
After a mini break from all things Fantasy, i’m refreshed and ready to give FPL one more season. Or at least until Christmas. November. I’ll give it one more try for the first 3 gameweeks (Wildcard in week 2 and then two weeks for them to get me back in the top 3 million, or i take NiN by the hand and jump from the nearest tall building).
Feck it. Cant’ be any worse than last year.
So, what do we think of La Cassette tape? Another average joe? Will he get the chances once wing men Sanchez and Ozil leave?
Is Shrek going to find his golden touch again with his old/new club?
Is Lukaku going to be a 20+ goal beast for United?
Will Defoe score goals in 10 consecutive games again?
Will my strategy of rotating two non-playing goal keepers work this year?
So much to consider.
Chins! good to hear form you mate.
So many questions…such little answers.
-no
-maybe
-probably
-nah
-absolutely
Good stuff mate. How’s the European tour going? Any favorite stops?
Back home now already…went for 3 weeks
Favourite was Portugal and London. All the places were amazing though, was a great experience
Probably get the same answers for that question
@Chins don’t get too lost, we need to have a WhatsApp meeting for fantasy nfl this season
Glad London made the list Migs.
Mito – I’m around. Same number as before.
“It’s the most wunderful time of the year!”
Isn’t it possible to renew h2h-leagues?
