With tens of millions of players across the world, Fantasy Premier League is back ahead of the new Premier League season, which starts on Friday as defending champions ******* nal kick off against Championship winners Coventry City.
As always, FPL players are tasked with building a ******* le-winning side with a fixed budget of £100m.

He is owned by almost 75 per cent of FPL managers and will be the most popular captain most weeks, too, so going without him is a huge risk. That said, the additional budget could open up some interesting possibilities....
