The 2023/24 Fantasy Premier League season is expected to begin soon, with some official prices starting to be revealed.
Alongside a fantastic 2022/23 Premier League campaign that saw Manchester City retain the title, the FPL season was another for the history books. City's Erling Haaland tallied the fifth-highest points haul in FPL history after grabbing 272 points over the course of the season, whilst a bunch of new cult heroes and cheap beasts were discovered.
With the Premier League out of action, so is FPL, but with the transfer window now underway and the fixtures for the 2023/24 season confirmed, the launch of FPL for the upcoming season is around the corner. In the FPL season review email sent out at the end of the previous campaign, it was stated they will see us in July for the upcoming season.
And on July 3, the first batch of official FPL player prices were revealed, including Haaland, who joins a prestigious club of the most expensive players in FPL history. Here are all the 2023/24 FPL prices revealed so far.
