Premier League strongest starting XIs and set-piece takers for 2024-25 season

The Premier League starts on Friday as Manchester United host Fulham before everyone else joins the party over the weekend, with Matchday 1 ending on Monday with Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur.

With that in mind, our FPL experts, Abdul Rehman and Holly Shand, have been bringing you advice on how to select your Fantasy Premier League squads for the coming season, all of which can be found here (you can also choose to follow our FPL coverage, too).

To help you with your planning, our writers have selected their strongest XIs for the season and who they expect to be taking set pieces in 2024-25.

These line-ups are the strongest starting XIs (minus those out with long-term injuries), not necessarily those available for Matchday 1. For that information and other queries, we have Ben Dinnery with us from 4-5pm (BST; 11am ET) on Friday for his usual Q&A.
