Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 2 has been done and dusted, and boy, was it full of anxiety for managers.
From cashing in on triple captaining Haaland’s hat-trick, Palmer’s multiple assists, or the despair of Barco leaving on loan, you’re either reveling in points or dwelling at the bottom of your leagues.
Before rolling the dice on a wildcard to re-select your team, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) introduced a few more bends and dips. The rules have changed, my friends.
They’ve tightened the bolts, greased the gears, and tossed a wrench into your careful calculations.
Five Free Transfers!
Wild, right? FPL is finally letting you hoard those transfers. You’re no longer chained to just two. Now, you can stash up to five, rewarding the discipline of holding back.
Hold tight, don’t splurge early.
They’ve also thrown in a twist—your saved transfers won’t hit zero when you play that Wildcard or Free Hit chip. Sweet freedom.
The pitch? It’s got a facelift. FPL’s design team tweaked the field, making it slicker and more user-friendly. Every player now has a card—easy access to stats and info. Deciding who to start, bench, or dump just got simpler.
Revamped Scoring System
Points? The system’s changing. Goalkeepers now get 10 points for scoring a goal. A pipe dream, sure, but it’s there. Saving a penalty used to net 15 bonus points; now it’s nine.
That’s still a hefty haul. And new? A goal-line clearance grabs you three bonus points. A shot on target? Two. And here’s the cherry on top—get fouled, earn a bonus point.
FPL is throwing some new love into the mix.
Blank and Double gameweeks—less hassle now. The FPL gods decided to spare us from the chaos. Fewer clashes between FA Cup and Premier League matches mean fewer of those mind-bending weeks.
Mystery Chip
And here’s the kicker—there’s a new mystery chip. Fantasy Premier League is teasing us with something fresh for the 2024-25 season. It’s not rolling out until January.
What does it do? We’ve got no clue. They’re keeping it under wraps. So, buckle up. Fantasy football just got a little more unpredictable.
