We’re just six days away from the start of another campaign of Fantasy Premier League! It feels like the break between FPL seasons has gone by really quickly and amidst pre-seasons curtailed by a COVID-affected season or International tournament, we’ve finally had some return to normalcy with clubs and players able to enjoy a full pre-season!
Managers, personnel, and tactics can lead to considerable change in a team’s style of play between one season to the next and while results in pre-season don’t tend to correlate at all with how the season campaign goes, it does allow one to identify players who might have won/lost a spot in the starting XI, or look like they’re primed to benefit in FPL terms over the season to come.
Who’s in form in front of goal heading into #FPL 2022/23?
