FPL tips, strategy and fixtures

All our general strategy tips and fixtures analysis will be posted in this section – and one major scheduling change could have a huge impact on the game this season.

We are expecting fewer blank and double gameweeks, mainly caused by rearranged games as a result of clashes with cup ties.

But a new FA Cup schedule means we are likely to see fewer postponements because of the cup. We’ll have full details of what to expect in our Blank and Double Gameweek Guide nearer to the start of the season.
