We're back, baby! Welcome once again to the FPL Lounge for our flagship GW1 Preview episode - and how good does it feel for football and FPL to be back?!

The start of this season feels more difficult to navigate than usual, and with that, Andy & Chris start by discussing how new football rules relating to added time and bookings could affect FPL. They look at the 'template' and how playing safe early can benefit your team further down the line, as well as advising of a keen ear on opening week press conferences from Premier League managers.

The radar focuses on one of the league's better defences, with a high-owned player in the mid-range and some budget midfielders on the fringe.

They swim against a high-points scorer from last season being featured in over a third of active teams, before finishing with captaincy and the latest renewal of a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!
