FPL GUIDE BY NICK: The season starts here!

Fantasy Premier League – The basics

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is an online game where participants create virtual teams of real Premier League footballers. Points are awarded based on the players’ real-life performances in Premier League matches. Players manage their teams by making transfers, selecting captains, and using “chips” (boosters) throughout the season, aiming to accumulate the most points and climb the global leaderboard of over 10 million players.

Getting Started

Go to https://fantasy.premierleague.com/ to set up your team. There is a mobile app alongside the website-based version. You will need to create an account, choose a team name and then go about drafting your initial squad. Please note you can make as many amendments, within the rules defined below, as you like, to this initial squad before the game week 1 deadline.

Rules on select your initial squad:

Squad Size

To join the game, select a fantasy football squad of 15 players, consisting of:

• 2 Goalkeepers

• 5 Defenders

• 5 Midfielders

• 3 Forwards

Budget

The total value of your initial squad must not exceed £100 million.

Players Per Team

You can select up to 3 players from a single Premier League team.

Choosing Your Starting 11

From your 15-player squad, select 11 players by the Gameweek deadline to form your team.

All your points for the Gameweek will be scored by these 11 players, however if one or more doesn’t play they may be automatically substituted.

Your team can play in any formation providing that 1 goalkeeper, at least 3 defenders and at least 1 forward are selected at all times.

Selecting a Captain and a Vice-Captain

From your starting 11 you nominate a captain and a vice-captain. Your captain’s score will be doubled.

If your captain plays 0 minutes in the Gameweek, the captain will be changed to the vice-captain.

If both captain and vice-captain play 0 minutes in a Gameweek, then no player’s score will be doubled.

Prioritising Your Bench For Automatic Substitutions

Your substitutes provide cover for unforeseen events like injuries and postponements by automatically replacing starting players who don’t play in a Gameweek.

Playing in a Gameweek means playing at least 1 minute or receiving a yellow / red card.

Based on the priorities you assign, automatic substitutions are processed at the end of the Gameweek as follows:

If your Goalkeeper doesn’t play in the Gameweek, he will be substituted by your replacement Goalkeeper, if he played in the Gameweek.

If any of your outfield players don’t play in the Gameweek, they will be substituted by the highest priority outfield substitute who played in the Gameweek and doesn’t break the formation rules (eg. If your starting team has 3 defenders, a defender can only be replaced by another defender).
