00:00The new season offers up a few tweaks to the popular game after new prices were revealed

00:06this week.

00:07Fantasy Premier League players across the UK will be eagerly awaiting the return of

00:11the Premier League for the 2024-25 season.

00:15Manchester City will be aiming for a fifth successive title and the likes of Erling Haaland

00:20and Mohamed Salah will be popular picks once again, but there will be some significant

00:24changes to FPL for the new campaign.

00:27Here is everything you need to know.

00:30Free transfers.

00:32Players will no longer be limited to just two free transfers.

00:35Instead, it will now be possible to accumulate as many as five free transfers, rewarding

00:40those who avoid the temptation to regularly make new additions.

00:45Saved transfers will also no longer reset to zero when the wildcard and free hit chips

00:49are played.

00:50Pitch.

00:51Eaglide FPL players will notice that the pitch looks different ahead of the new season.

00:57The design has been tweaked with the intention of improving usability.

01:01There will also be player cards for everyone in the team, allowing the user to read key

01:05information when deciding who to start, bench or sell.

01:10Point scoring.

01:11There will be several changes to the point system for 2024-25.

01:15Firstly, goalkeepers will get 10 points instead of 6 for scoring a goal, although the chances

01:21of this happening are of course extremely low.

01:25Goalkeepers' bonus points for saving a penalty will be reduced from 15 to 9.

01:29Meanwhile, a goal line clearance will be worth 3 bonus points and a shot on target 2 bonus

01:35points.

01:36Players will also get a bonus point for winning a foul.

01:40Blank double gameweeks.

01:42Blank and double gameweeks can make things tricky for FPL players.

01:46They often require extra planning and points can easily be dropped.

01:50More casual players are likely to be pleased that there will be fewer blank and double

01:54gameweeks, with the FA Cup schedule meaning fixtures will not clash with Premier League

01:59matches as frequently.

02:01Mystery chip.

02:02Not content with just bench boost, triple captain, free hit and wildcard, FPL have added

02:08a new chip to the mix for the 2024-25 season.

02:12Unfortunately, it will not be available until January, though, and they have yet to reveal

02:17what function it will have.

02:19Inevitably, there will be plenty of speculation around the mystery chip.

02:24But for now it is nothing more than guesswork.
