Rebalanced Player Pricing

Fans have often complained about the price of players over the years. FPL has heard the fans and has made subtle changes to the same. This time, the predicting algorithm is much smarter. This means that the players will be priced very accurately. So FPL fanatics, you need to start worrying, as there are hardly going to be any gem-buy-worthy players. Emerging players who have been priced at a very nominal range won’t be present this season.

Wildcard Restrictions Tweaked

There comes a brand-new twist for the Wildcards as well. FPL fans will have to rake up their brains to the fullest. Unlike till last season, wildcard doesn’t mean a complete rehaul of the squad. Instead now, once the wildcard is activated, a player is allowed to make just 12 changes to their squad and not make a complete overhaul.

Updated Bonus Point System (BPS)

The Bonus Point System (BPS) has undergone a slight change. The algorithm now will see the traditional and unconventional players getting a boost. As has been the case in the past, the defensive midfielders, full backs and deep playmakers rarely got good bonuses based on their assists or scoring abilities. Now, there has been a revamp, meaning these players will get more focus, thereby turning them into valuable assets in the team.

Live Injury Tracker Integration

Ever felt the dilemma of whether a player returning from injury will be fit for a game or not? That won’t be the case anymore. FPL has now integrated itself with the Premier League, which means that FPL will be able to track data directly from the PL and show the real-time analytics, threats, and selection chances for the playing XI.

Eventually, I realized I could combine my passion for writing with my love for football, and I’ve never looked back. My favorite part of the job is everything—when you’re doing what you love, even a late-night deadline feels like extra time in a thrilling cup final. Lastly, Lionel Messi is the GOAT.
