The return of the Premier League this week also means the return of Fantasy Football.
With the mid-March suspension of the season, many leagues between friends would have been brought to a halt as the campaign was reaching its conclusion.
Yet the final eight gameweeks mean that fantasy leagues can be played out to a conclusion - and the resumption also means that mini-leagues can be set up for the final matches of the season.
In the UK, every single match of the 92 remaining fixtures will be televised, many of which will be on free-to-air television, and the fixtures will be spread across the weekend to maximise coverage.
For FPL managers, this provides the best-ever opportunity to keep a close eye on players and potential transfers - but how exactly will it all work? Here’s everything you need to know.
When will the FPL season resume?
The FPL season will resume on June 17, the same date as the first two matches in the restart; Manchester City vs Arsenal and Sheffield United vs Aston Villa, two fixtures that were originally postponed due to the Carabao Cup final.
That will be followed by the first full weekend of action, where there will be a match on Friday evening, four games on Saturday, four games on Sunday and a match on Monday evening.
How have the fixtures been allocated?
All of the remaining season’s fixtures have been allocated into new gameweeks, with each new gameweek being indicated by a ‘+’. For example, the first gameweek will be GW30+.
Due to the league being restarted with two games in hand, GW30+ will be a double gameweek, incorporating the two Wednesday games with the full weekend round.

Will my chips remain available?
FPL have confirmed that any chips that a player has remaining (triple captain, bench boost, free hit, wildcard) would be available to use during the rescheduled end of the 2019/20 season.
“We can confirm that any chips you retain at present (e.g. Triple Captain, Bench Boost, Free Hit and/or Wildcard) would remain available for you, in accordance with the Game Rules,” they said.
Will there be unlimited transfers?
It has been confirmed that FPL managers will be able to make unlimited transfers until the GW30+ deadline without having to play a Wildcard.
It means you will be able to completely overhaul their squad if need be - a major boost for those who had previously discarded key players due to long-term injuries that have now healed.
Prices of players will also not change until after the GW30+ deadline has passed, with any unused chips available straight away.
Who are the top scoring FPL players?
The usual suspects feature heavily in the top 10 players and, whilst it is impossible to get all of these into one line-up due to cost, any successful side will have at least one or two of them involved.
Mo Salah - Liverpool - 186
Kevin De Bruyne - Man City - 178
Sadio Mane - Liverpool - 175
Jamie Vardy - Leicester City - 167
Trent Alexander Arnold - Liverpool - 166
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - Arsenal - 152
Raul Jiminez - Wolves - 147
Virgil van Dijk - Liverpool - 141
Danny Ings - Southampton - 140
Andy Robertson - Liverpool - 137
When are the deadlines?
Some managers like to leave it to the last minute to make any changes to their side in order to get up-to-date injury news.
With a variety of kick-off times, however, that means it could be difficult to keep track of when gameweek deadlines are - so it is handy to note these down.
Deadlines are always one hour before the kick-off of the first fixture for that gameweek.
