The 2023-24 Fantasy Premier League season is now well underway and the opening eight Gameweeks have now been completed.

FPL is simple, with a budget of £100 million to spend, FPL managers must pick 15 players - 11 starters and four subs - and are allowed one free transfer each week to make alterations.

Players score points for actions on the pitch - such as goals, assists and clean sheets - while their price fluctuates depending on how many managers transfer them in or transfer them out.

Another way of scoring extra points is via the FPL Bonus Points System, which allows Premier League players to increase their points tally through bonus points.
