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 an ensemble machine-learning model (0.86 MAE, ~2x better than the FPL baseline) over every Premier League player to project points, rank value picks and shortlist captains — the same engine behind its public World Cup 2026 model record.
