This season there is a big reason to enter your Fantasy Premier League team early, but time is running out to win a prize.
FPL managers who register in the first week after launch (before 12:30 BST on Monday 28 July) will enter a prize draw, with ONE lucky manager being chosen to win an FPL bundle consisting of a t-shirt, mug, thermal bottle, stress ball, pen, pad and key ring.
There is ANOTHER incentive to enter your team early because the speed with which managers create their Fantasy squads can also affect their chances of winning season-long prizes.
If managers have the same points total at the end of the season, the higher rank is awarded to the one who has made the fewer transfers. And if they have both made the same number of transfers, the managers will share the same rank.
However, when it comes to awarding the weekly and monthly prizes, if managers are level on rank, the one who was first to register their team is deemed the winner.
FPL is a game of the finest margins, so get your team in early to avoid ultimate disappointment.
Just signing up NOW, even if you initially just set an auto-pick squad, could be the difference between agony and glory.
