Mohamed Salah and Liverpool are out to defend their title, with no shortage of reinforcements, but Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United will all hope to have their say.

As noted, deadlines for FPL changes generally cut off one hour and 30 minutes before the first match of a particular gameweek. Sometimes there will be 12 noon or 12:30pm kick-offs and on such occasions, the deadlines are 10:30am or 11am.
We generally advise FPL players to get their team organised a few days beforehand - when team news from the press conferences is confirmed. Of course, life has a habit of getting in the way of even the most dedicated fan.
Can you make changes when the deadline passes?
You will still be able to make changes to your team after the deadline, but they will only come into effect for the next gameweek. So, be sure to set your reminders!
The secret to success in fantasy football is staying on top of the deadlines so that you can maximise your points each week. Make it part of your routine and double check times here.
