FPL is live 2020
Welcome to FPL is live 2020/21
It’s time to set your team up, re-join leagues and get tinkering! Although it’s worth noting that the actual Premier League fixtures are still to be released and likely won’t be until after the Champions League and Europa League have completed.
For FPL the biggest change appears to be the deadline changing to 90mins before kick-off – seemingly in an attempt to combat those annoying and often false team leaks.
The Chips have remained the same as has the budget of 100mln.
The biggest changes seem to have come in player prices and in some cases, classification. Some of the more obvious changes at first glance are:
Players now classed as midfielders:
Aubameyang (Arsenal) – price 12.0mln
Greenwood (Man Utd) – price 7.5mln
Rashford (Man Utd) – price 9.5mln
Lundstram (Sheff Utd) – price 5.5mln
Players now classed as forwards:
Richarlison (Everton) – price 8.0mln
Martial (Man Utd) – price 9.0mln
Antonio (West Ham) – price 6.5mln
New players:
Midfielders:
Ziyech (Chelsea) – price 8.0mln
Forwards:
Werner (Chelsea) – price 9.5mln
Good luck with the tinkering and please post your thoughts, comments and plans on the chat below.

I still don’t get why Firmino is still priced at 9.5M.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I think you’re right. Superb player but fantasy-wise I thought that would be reviewed and dropped off the back of his lowest scoring season.
Still, if you don’t want him, don’t take him. :good:
Kop Warrior
I agree that he’s over priced. However, I’m not surprised that his price hasn’t dropped.
lamderek
yes too much for that price, i would have considered at 8.5 i think
PunkDragon
and greenwood at 7.5? Bwahahaha
Mitro
Wow! Didnt see most of these position changes! Can’t get my head around why PEA is a classed as midfielder but I will take it! More points 😉
inittowinit hates PSG :rant:
It’s because he basically plays in the Salah / Mane / Sterling position, more often than not. He’s slightly different in that he does get games up top more than they do, but I get it (the decision).

Just noticed the username
Mitro
First attempt
Let’s see what I end up with in a few weeks time!
MattX
Decent! Obviously I’d like some Pool cover in there though 😉
Mitro do you think Saliba starts at CB for your lot?
Mitro
Hey Matt,
Good shout on Saliba! I forgot all about him.
Yes i think he will start!
By the time the deadline ends I will have either mane/salah in my team!
MattX
What’s he like as I didn’t really follow his time in France? Will he have a goal threat?
Yeah I’m sure you’ll have an entire different team by this time tomorrow :hippo:
Mitro
Second attempt!
Smash
Some different names in there to what I’m thinking. There are so many options. I like it
Bigpopz
FPL is back !!!
Here’s my first draft
Liking the re-classification of some players.
Little Red Lacazette
Budget defense but I like it. Who will you have if Manchester assets are unavailable for GW1?
Bigpopz
Red
Cheers
Not thought about that tbh
Maybe
KDB > Zyech
Bruno > Son
Or go with both Mane & Salah
FC Sanchez
First draft here also. Not bad; just don’t ask about my bench. Haha
Tornado
Good team with few different names in it. Do you think Martinez keeps his place?
Little Red Lacazette
Wondering about Martinez too.
FC Sanchez
Yeah, we’ll see. I think he’s been playing fantastically well since coming in for Leno… Looks like Leno is back from injury tho, and Martinez is waiting to talk to Arteta to see if he wants to stay at Arsenal or move.
Smash
We will see in community shield on that one at least
Bigpopz
Sanchez
Like it
Martial & Rashford could miss gwk1 tho?
FC Sanchez
Oh Europa, that’s right. Thanks for the reminder, Bigpopz.

Good to be back in business again everyone. Hope all are well and came through this years chaos ok.
Interesting changes in positions for some players and price hikes to match last weeks flights back from France.
Spoilt for choice in midfield this year by the looks of it. working on 1st Draft now.. not that ive been counting down the days or anything.
Loud Atlas
The fixtures deadline is 21/08, so not long to wait to do some ‘proper’ drafting :drinks: .
roffeesrejects
yup. nice to start having a think though and looking who is around at what price isnt it? Id almost forgotten how difficult first week team pick is lol. the annual bushtucker trial
Loud Atlas
Any guaranteed starters at £4m? :popcorn:
The Leeds defenders at that price didn’t play much at all last season :no: :
Douglas 648 mins (15 games, 6 starts)
Struijk 218 mins (5 games, 2 starts)
Davis 14 mins (3 games, 0 starts)
Casey 6 mins (1 game, 0 starts)
Leeds’ other defenders are 4.5m.
With Ben White (their main defender) back at Brighton, maybe Douglas is worth keeping an eye on.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I think Nathan Ferguson at Crystal Palace has been bought to play.
Branthwaite at Everton too maybe. Keep him in mind.
MattX
Douglas is someone I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on as he also takes set pieces if he plays.
Supposedly Struijk will start at CB if they don’t get a replacement for White so another one to keep an eye on.
As GP says though Ferguson is the one I’m most sure of getting a start.
Ben Johnson at West Ham could get minutes but I’m not sure on that one.
