Bench Boost allows a team to receive points for their starting XI and substitutes, and can be used once a season. During each round, the FPL manager will have between 30 and 120 seconds, with the default being 90 seconds, to pick a player to join their squad. That allows for team updates from managers in press conferences and gives you a clearer idea of which players from your team, or those that you plan to transfer in, will be playing or not. After the draft has taken place there is the opportunity to bring in unassigned players via waiver requests. For example, a tie for first place will see Players 1 and 2 awarded three points each, with Player 3 receiving one point. "The three best performing players in each match will be awarded bonus points. Your skipper will score double points during every Gameweek and be sure to always select from your strongest players with favourable fixtures. You are limited to a maximum of three players from each Premier League team. It goes without saying but don't waste the chance to use all chips available. After each Gameweek, certain player prices will increase or decrease depending on their popularity among the FPL community, related to transfer activity. Each registered Premier League player from the 20 teams in England's top-flight league is assigned a price, with the top-value players considered to be the 'best' and most likely to score the most points over the season. Make sure you have at least two decent players on your bench, goalkeeper aside.

With Fantasy Premier League (FPL) live for 2022/23, we'll be welcoming back our stellar team of Pro Pundits and Hall of Famers for the new campaign.

However, if Raheem Sterling (£10.0m) completes his move from Manchester City, I have a feeling he could really shake things up, with the prospect of Raphinha (£7.0m) feeding him from the right-flank a mouthwatering one for FPL managers. Edouard Mendy (£5.0m), plus both wing-backs at just £6.0m, could offer real value, even if the mooted switch to a back-four formation comes to fruition. - Get access to Members content in over 250+ articles over the season We’ll be hearing from a different writer every day in the aftermath of the FPL relaunch, to get their thoughts on the pricing and to see their initial picks. And I like the idea of moving this spot around during the season to capitalise on certain fixture swings, with the names below all catching my eye over the past few days. As you have to use the first one by Gameweek 16, the season is almost split into quarters, which means I think we can afford to be a bit more aggressive and short-term with our initial picks.

FPL is back for the 2022/23 season and we've assessed all of the Irish players ahead of what will be an unusual campaign.

Breaking into the Magpies team would seem far-fetched and unless he can secure a move to one of the Premier League’s bottom sides, it looks like it’s the lower leagues for Our Jeff. Hassenhuttl is known to give young players a chance but for the aid of Smallbone’s development, it might be time to wave goodbye to the top flight and FPL, for the time being. However, recent reports have linked Smallbone with a move to the likes of Burnley, Millwall and Sunderland, and at this point in his career, a switch to the Championship could prove beneficial for a player who has never even been out on loan. Some alternating between the sticks at St. Mary’s isn’t out of the question but at 4.5m FPL pounds, the talented Bazunu is a great shout to have in your team for Gameweek 1. The cheapest of all of the Irish players in FPL at the time of writing, there’s still a chance that Kelleher may drop out of the Premier League ahead of the upcoming campaign. As one of just a handful of 4.5m-priced forwards, he could be used as a money-saver, but who knows, with the odd substitute appearance, perhaps an impact could be made. The 19-year-old forward is unlikely to challenge Erling Haaland for a place in the team and unless he showcases some of his famed dad’s throw-in ability during training, his appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side are likely to be limited to cup competitions. There is a chance he will go out on loan but if Potter does keep him around and continue to include him in matchday squads, he’s sure to be added to the FPL mix. Connolly spent the latter half of last season on loan at Middlesbrough and would appear to have a lot of work to do to get back in to Graham Potter’s plans. Overall, the Kildare man seems to be a very sound option to start in your team, or at least have on your bench, at a price of just 4.5m. The Derryman proved a valuable option at the beginning of last season, scoring a goal against Watford and contributing to a number of clean sheets. He’s expected to be the first-choice between the sticks for Scott Parker’s men this season and, like a number of newly-promoted stoppers before him, is likely to face plenty of shots as Bournemouth battle to stay in the league.
