Fantasy Premier League

FPL is not live right now, but it belongs on the menu.

Fantasy Premier League is currently between seasons. When the next game opens, Kickoff Brief can cover FPL separately from World Cup fantasy: squad structure, captaincy, transfers, chips, price pressure and deadline alerts.

Status: not currently running Expected return: summer 2026, before the new Premier League season First deadline expected around the opening Premier League weekend in August

Current status

The 2025/26 FPL game has finished; the next game has not opened yet.

The official Fantasy Premier League data currently shows all 38 gameweeks from 2025/26 finished, with no next gameweek available. There are no live FPL decisions today.

Expected start: FPL normally returns in summer after the new Premier League fixture cycle is known, with Gameweek 1 around the opening Premier League weekend in August. We will update this once the official 2026/27 game opens.

Why keep the tab?

Shows future coverage

Avoids false claims
The page says clearly that FPL is not currently running.
Captures demand early
People can register interest before the new game launches.

When FPL returns

The brief follows FPL rules, not generic football chat.

Once the game is live, coverage switches from status page to decision page: prices, fixtures, ownership, chips, captaincy and transfer routes.

Squad structure

15 players

Budget balance, playable bench, premium slots, cheap enablers and early fixture runs.

Captaincy

Weekly ceiling

Captain and vice-captain calls are separated from transfer advice because the best captain is not always the best buy.

Chips and transfers

Timing matters

Wildcards, Bench Boost, Triple Captain and Free Hit only matter if the timing is right. Burning chips for vibes is how mini-leagues die.
