First-team FAQ
How do I create an FPL team?
Register a free account at fantasy.premierleague.com, then pick a 15-player squad within the £100m budget: 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 forwards, with a maximum of 3 players from any one club. Name your team, pick your starting XI and captain, and you are in. The easiest way to start is to draft your squad first with Onside’s free AI squad builder at onsidearena.com/squad-builder, then copy it into the official site.
What is the best FPL team for GW1 2026/27?
There is no single correct GW1 team, but strong squads share a shape: one or two premium midfielders, a mid-priced forward line, budget enablers in goal and defence, and money left in the bank for early moves. Onside ranks the best picks in every position by live price and projected points — see onsidearena.com/best-fpl-players-2026-27 for the rankings and onsidearena.com/squad-builder to assemble them into a legal 15. GW1 of the 2026/27 season kicks off on 21 August 2026.
Do I need an FPL team ID to use Onside?
No. You can build your first squad with the AI before your FPL team even exists. Your team ID is only created once you register at fantasy.premierleague.com — after that, paste the ID into Onside once and it tracks your points, rank, captain calls and transfers all season. No password needed; Onside never sees your FPL login.
