2025/26 Season Preview: Formulating the First Draft

from FPL Fortress Hosted by FPL Fortress

In the blink of an eye, summer is practically over and we’re less than two weeks away from the start of Gameweek 1! In this first episode of our sixth season, Jacob and Jiayang finally get the gears turning again in order to assemble a first draft together. In the process, we talk through key considerations such as ideal premium structure, mid-priced and budget enablers, and the potential impact of the newly added defensive contributions to the defender landscape. With the addition of a second set of chips, we also toy with the idea of the Gameweek 1 Bench Boost—perhaps the flexibility that comes with having 15 playing players at the start of the season outweighs the siphoning of funds away from one’s starting XI? And who knows what havoc the transfer market could wreak on our plans before the deadline? Until then, happy tinkering!
