The Fantasy Premier League has been one of the most sought-after games online for the last few decades, going as far as becoming a tradition among fans.
A lot of people have made a habit of logging into this game and building a squad to compete on this platform. This allows them to have a budget and build a side with Premier League players, with each user gaining points each week based on their performances.
The first version of the game had a total of 76,200 players ahead of the 2002/03 season, with the platform nowadays boasting more than ten million users as of this writing.
A competition that has become extremely popular in recent years, the Fantasy Premier League can also provide prizes for those players who achieve certain metrics throughout the competition. Moreover, there is also the fact that people can compete in cup tournaments throughout the campaign, thus giving them the chance to achieve something.
All of this is explained in the game’s official website where newcomers can learn the ropes of the platform and how it works. Moreover, there is always a place to start, especially for those fans who have a deep knowledge of the English Premier League.
Having said all that, there are a lot of fans who have been struggling with the official Fantasy Premier League app in recent days, to the point that they can’t even log in. Fans have also reported trouble using the 2FA authentication.
So with the new FPL website it looks like they removed 2FA from everyone's account.

And apparently if you put 2FA back on, you have to enter the code every single time you re-open the site because it keeps asking you to login 🙃
Based on what has been stated by users through social media platforms such as X, mentioning how they can’t even select a player and how autosave doesn’t work at the moment. Some can’t even load the Fixture Difficulty Rating (FDR) page on the mobile app.
@OfficialFPL Hi guys. The app directly crashes every time I try to save my team, selecting a player or save my teamname. I have a Samsung so Android version. More managers with the same issue and any updates or solutions maybe? Thanks! pic.twitter.com/KF4x3tK0Jo

It is a running issue in the last few days and it doesn’t seem to have a solution as of this writing.
Anyone else having issues with the app not working

Spent 25 minutes making team, pressed save, said error, random team comes up ffs#FPL #FPLCommunity pic.twitter.com/2nuJbLKgXH
Some people have also mentioned that half of the content doesn’t open, has constant logouts, and terrible UI on the website. All of this has happened after the app relaunched for the 2025/26 season.
It is also worth pointing out how the people in charge of the app haven’t provided any updates regarding this issue through the Fantasy Premier League’s social media accounts. There is a very good chance that this is just a bug, although, as mentioned earlier, it is hard to predict at the moment.
The FPL website this year is shockingly bad — clunky user interface and constant logouts.

Might finally have to give in and switch to the app.
Some fans have voiced their discomfort with the new direction that the app and the website have taken. They feel that they lag too much and are not so easy to handle, which is probably a running problem that connects with the aforementioned issues. Others have also pointed out how the website constantly crashes when selecting a player.
It is also worth pointing out that there is the possibility that the app and the website have been going through so many changes that some issues took place. It would make sense, though, given the context, although it is also understandable that fans are frustrated with this event.
Be that as it may, the 2025/26 Premier League season is upon fans in a few weeks and a lot of players are going to be eager to try this app, especially with several of the new signings. Moreover, this also includes the changes of positions from several footballers and the possibility of trying a lot of different things.
Here is hoping that the app can fix these issues in the coming days.
