Before the ink in last season's Premier League record books has barely had enough time to dry, it seems another Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season is almost upon us. With that in mind, many of you will be pleased to know that we are all set for another exciting Holmesdaleship campaign for 2019/20, and any interested HOLers are more than welcome to take part in our very own FPL game.

The code you will need to register a team is: cdlop2

As before, this will be a head-to-head league, but unlike previous seasons there will be no limit on the number of entrants who can join. Each participant’s FPL team will still play a head-to-head match against another every week, as in the Premier League itself, but the number of times each one plays another throughout the season will depend on the final number of registered participants.

The results will still be based on the game points scored by the actual players selected, with points being awarded to each FPL team for wins and draws accordingly, just as they would be in the Premier League itself.

The 2019/20 Premier League season is due to kick-off on Friday, 9 August 2019, so all FPL entries must be submitted by that date. No cup or knockout rounds will be involved in this season's Holmesdaleship FPL game.

All of the FPL rules, including full details on how points are scored by each player, can be found on the official Premier League website located via the link above.

Entry is of course FREE of charge, and though there is no prize money at stake there are still bragging rights to be won. There will also be three points up for grabs every week, so you will always have at least something to play for from the start of the season right to the very end.

Once again, all HOLers welcome, and whether you are a seasoned fantasy league enthusiast or a newbie to the whole thing, I'm sure you will enjoy taking part. And if you have never played before, why not give it a go and see how you get on!

Please let me know if you have any questions. Look forward to seeing you there!

Many thanks to those who have joined so far. All are welcome!

One week left!

No actual limit on numbers this year, so any HOLers interested in the FPL can still register a team before Friday's deadline.

For clarification, please note that while being a Palace supporter is not a prerequisite for being an HOL member, this league has been set up for those who are fans of the club. There are however many other leagues available for anyone to join on the FPL site. Apologies for any disappointment to any persons concerned.
