When is the FPL deadline and 30 players you should consider signing for the 2024-25 season

The new season in England’s top flight starts tonight and that means the long-awaited return of Fantasy Premier League.

Many players will have already picked their squads for the opening gameweek of the 2024-25 campaign, though even at this stage, new signings and potential injuries might change things – or just a sudden hit of inspiration after reading a list of the best signings, perhaps.

The usual suspects — the likes of Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah — will be among the most popular picks. But there are plenty of other players across the Premier League who might offer genuine value this season.

And most importantly, with a Friday night kick-off, the deadline for gameweek 1 is fast approaching – so remember to join your mini-leagues beforehand!

Here is everything you need to know on the deadline plus 30 players we think might solid additions to any FPL side.
