The new features for this season include three chips for managers to play: All Out Attack, Bench Boost and Triple Captain. There are also changes to when Wildcards can be played and the timing of Gameweek deadlines.
Chips
This season Fantasy Premier League allows you to use three new chips throughout the season to potentially enhance your team's performance. Only one chip can be played in a single Gameweek and a chip cannot be played at the same time as a Wildcard.
ALL OUT ATTACK allows you to play a 2-5-3 formation in the next Gameweek.
BENCH BOOST includes points scored from your bench in your total score for the forthcoming Gameweek.
TRIPLE CAPTAIN enables your team's captain to earn triple the amount of points in the next Gameweek instead of double.
Wildcards
Fantasy players still get two Wildcards during the season, but the change comes with when these Wildcards can be used. One Wildcard must now be deployed during the first half of the campaign (before 28 Dec, 2pm) with the other Wildcard being used in the second half of the season.
Gameweek deadlines
Gameweek deadlines have changed ahead of the new season and Fantasy players will now have up until one hour prior to the opening kick-off of a Gameweek. In past seasons the Saturday deadline was always 11.30am, regardless of when the first match kicked off.
This season's Gameweek 1 deadline is 11.45am on Saturday, 8 August 2015, so you must ensure your team is registered before then to start scoring from the beginning of the season.
The Gameweek 2 deadline is 6.45pm on Friday, 14 August 2015 with Aston Villa v Manchester United kicking off at 7.45pm that evening.
