The 2023/24 Premier League season kickoff is fast approaching as fans gear up for the return to action beginning on Friday, August 11.
However, for some, the start of the new campaign is eclipsed by the return of Fantasy Premier League, as the battle to win mini-leagues reignites.
Fantasy Premier League (FPL) allows fans the chance to channel their inner Pep Guardiola and challenge friends and supporters from around the world at fantasy football.
Despite the summer transfer window still expecting to throw up plenty of new faces across the 20 Premier League sides, the early Fantasy Premier League prices are in.
