FPL is live for the 2022/23 season, and that means the FPL General is here with a look at all the player price reveals and some of the early fixtures, to help you start building your squad ahead of the big kick-off in a month's time. We take you through each team, looking at all the eye catching player valuations and what they could mean for the ideal gameweek 1 team, plus the General unveils his first watchlist of the season with the top 50 players he's already got his eye on.

The General looks ahead to the final Gameweek of the season, as he tries to push into the overall top 10k, and details various strategies to help you triumph in your mini-leagues... Plus answers to the following: Are hits in the final Gameweek worth it? Would you swap out Salah for Son or Mane as a punt?  Is it worth doing a -4 for Salah to Son, or just do a straight swap of Salah to KDB? Best Coutinho replacement? Differential players to consider for the final gameweek of the season if you are chasing?  Probably going to transfer Salah to Son, but also tempted to do either Saka to Bowen or Mount to Diaz for a -4. Should I just play safe with the one transfer? Still have the triple captain chip left, should I place it on Son or KDB?  Do you think there will be any changes to the game (chips, etc) next season? Any tips that we should do to prepare for a new season ahead?

The FPL General previews the penultimate gameweek of the season and comes armed with plenty of advice for those of you who are still in with a chance of moving up your mini-leagues... Stick or twist with Salah? I'm chasing down a 40-point deficit in my mini-league. We both have Salah. Should I get rid and gamble? Who's the best Saka replacement at around £6.5 after his poor double gameweek?   Cash or Digne? Best 3 or 4 premium assets to own on a Free Hit? Your top 3 free hit differential picks this week? Does it make sense to get a Villa defender on FH if you have Zaha? Is Vardy a worthwhile punt for 120+mins?  Any Wolves player on FH?

FPL General is here to look ahead to double gameweek 36 as we approach the business end of the FPL season. He's got an update on his watchlist, transfer advice and captaincy picks, plus these questions answered: With the rotation risk ahead of the cup final, should we transfer out our Chelsea assets for other DGW starters? Hold James? Or move to Dias for double city defence? Keep or sell Mount? Are there any Chelsea players you'd include on a free hit this week based on current form? Should we move Chelsea assets to Man City ones even if it's for a hit? Is Mount to Foden worth a hit? Is KDB the best differential captain this week and is it better to go for Foden or Laporte on a Free Hit? For those of us that went Dewsbury-Hall in recent weeks, is it worth a -4 to move to Gordon due to security of starts in the upcoming doubles?   Is it worth removing Kulusevski for another mid-price option with better fixtures but less certainty of minutes such as Foden or Maddison?  Depending on minutes and fitness tomorrow I really like a punt on Vardy. Is he forgotten? Is it worth transferring Ramsdale for any other keeper at this stage of the season? Is free hit a given even if you have 9 players playing twice?

FPL General is here ahead of Saturday's gameweek 35 deadline with some last minute advice to help you push on record a strong end to the FPL season as we enter the closings stages. Do I sell James for Cancelo? Replace Reece James with Laporte or Alonso and is Matty Cash a good buy for upcoming fixtures? Which Chelsea players are most likely to be rotated against Everton? Worth selling Werner and Havertz/Mount for Watkins and Coutinho? Is Ramsey a good Villa asset to bring in to attack their upcoming fixtures, if you're tight on funds? Him or Dewsbury-Hall as a cheap midfielder? Who is the better buy for the rest of the season... Foden or Coutinho? Or, hold Havertz and re-evaluate next week with two FT's before the double? Sell Sterling for Son or go without Spurs players for the run-in? Is a triple up on Arsenal attackers a viable option with the players being Saka, Odegaard and Nketiah? Would you consider Zaha? Playing the worst defence in Southampton next followed by another poor defence in Watford followed by a decent double in 37? Best Broja replacements? Need a striker for bench boost on DGW36? Would it be safe to double up on Man City and Liverpool defenders?
