If you play Fantasy Football, today is one of the greatest days of your year

Will Slattery

It’s back!

The Premier League might not be starting for another month, but that doesn’t stop Fantasy Football. You can register a team on the Premier League website today and give yourself plenty of time to cultivate a squad that is capable of challenging for end of season honours.

Today is even more fun if you fall into the category of Fantasy Football player who REALLY enjoys putting a team together… but then forgets to check their progress after two weeks of the season.

One of the exciting things about the return of Fantasy Football is seeing how they price some of the league’s new players, like Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino (£8.5m) and Man United’s Memphis Depay (also £8.5m).

And in case you are looking for bargains, SportsJOE recommends Jordan Ibe (Liverpool midfielder, £5m), Thibaut Courtois (£5.5m but the same price as all the top 4 keepers!)  and Dimitri Payet (West Ham midfielder, £7.5m).
