When does FPL 2026/27 start?

The Fantasy Premier League 2026/27 season starts on Friday 21 August 2026, when the Premier League kicks off with Arsenal v Coventry City (20:00 BST). It begins a week later than 2025/26 to give players extra recovery after the 2026 World Cup, and runs to the final day on Sunday 30 May 2027.

What is the best strategy for FPL 2026/27?

Build your squad spine from value enablers — cheap players projected to score the most points per £m — then spend the saved budget on one or two premium forwards to captain. Onside ranks every player by projected points per £m and grades its captain picks in public each gameweek.

How does Onside help with FPL 2026/27?

Onside runs a machine-learning engine over every Premier League player to project points, rank value picks and shortlist captains. Tested on three full seasons of real results, its projections come out about 15% more accurate than the expected-points number FPL itself shows you — and the full graded record is public at onsidearena.com/calibration.
