As mentioned last week, www.playon.co.uk, our featured weekly Fantasy Football game, is offering a huge £5,000 prize pot for Gameweek 4. They’ve offered to increase the prize pot to £5,000 if their “£1,000 Guaranteed” game reaches 500 entries by 5pm tomorrow (Friday) – entry into the game is £5.

If you’ve yet to try out PlayON, this is a good opportunity to suss it out. PlayON is London based and is licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. You only need to register a provisional team of XI and enter the game by 5pm tomorrow – your lineup can be tweaked right up to 10 minutes before the first kick-off on Saturday, when United entertain Palace at 12.45pm.

If you’re new to the game, you’ll find our full strategy guide right here, offering tips that we’ve gathered along the way. We’ll also be following up with specific player picks for Gameweek 4 tomorrow at lunchtime.

Be sure to spread the word on this to help fill up the game and ensure that PlayON deliver the £5,000 prize fund. Remember – there needs to be 500 players in the “£1,000 Guaranteed” game by Friday at 5pm for the pot to be boosted.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        Hi Sarjeant,
        In each of our games, the minimum amount is for free and the maximum amount is £1,000 - although no-one has played for this yet. You can play for whatever you like in a single gameweek but if spending too much is a concern, we allow you to restrict how much you can deposit in any 24 hour period - see our deposit limits page for more info

          So I could put in £1,000 and someone else would and I could potentially win £2,000? I wouldn't do that obviously!

            You could potentially win £1,900 after commission I think + you'd have to find someone to accept that sort of bet...

              You can create an "open challenge" for whatever amount you wish on the one-on-one games page - an open challenge is a challenge that anyone else can accept. You can also set the number of "slots" you play for so if you wanted to play for a total of £100, rather than playing 1 person for £100 you could set the open challenge to play 10 different people for £10 each so you are more likely to win at least some of the games

            Hi Sarjeant,
            Yes you could enter a one-on-one against someone for £1,000 and whichever one of your teams scored the highest would win £2,000. Someone has already created a £100 multiplayer game this week and there are a few entrants already if you are interested

        Hi McNulty,
        This is something we have been discussing removing as you are right - 1,000 is enough for a goal - so this will likely be removed over the coming weeks. Thanks for the feedback

      None are very exciting.

      I'd aim to get your attack looking like Soldado, Giroud, Sturridge, Benteke (3 out of 4 of them).

      Allow MU attack. RVP or nothing. Welbeck is okay, but there are way better options in that sort of price bracket (i.e. the men mentioned above). You don't want Welbeck long term, like you don't want Dzeko. Not guaranteed to play every week. And Welbeck has never been a monster at scoring goals. Especially with RVP around.

    If Optimus pops up soon point him to this post.

    It shows the exact moment he became hooked on FPL - in the 76th minute when Drogba stayed on the bench and Van Aanholt and Kalou came on for Cole and Zhirkov on 26th March, 2010.

    01 Cech
    19 Ferreira yellow card
    26 Terry
    33 Alex
    08 Lampard
    10 J Cole (Kalou 76)
    12 Mikel
    15 Malouda
    18 Zhirkov yellow card (Van Aanholt 76)
    20 Deco yellow card (Ballack 72)
    39 Anelka

    Here's the other bit that shows why it was a great moment for him and all those others like me that had captained Drogba but had Lampard as vice captain

    Chelsea 7-1 Aston Villa FT
    (HT 2-1)

    Lampard 15
    Lampard (pen) 44
    Malouda 57
    Lampard (pen) 62
    Malouda 68
    Kalou 83
    Lampard 90+1

    ....still the most thrilling single minute of FPL ever.

          It was very heated that day on here. There were those that captained Lampard and were smug from his first goal onwards, there were those like Optimus and me who were going through a rollercoaster of emotions, there were those with Lampard but not a c or vc on him who were kicking themselves and there were those without Lampard at all who were in tears.
