Premier Punt Returns for the New Season

Premier Punt was a regular on our pages last season and, after a summer hiatus, we are delighted to announce it is back and ready to fire over the new campaign.

What is it?

To refresh your memory Premier Punt offers Fantasy managers a range of formats, including daily and weekly games to play.

As with last season, its weekly and daily games ask Fantasy managers to find the best 11 players from a £100m budget. This includes finding a captain and vice captain.

There’s a range of new features as well this season, including a single match format, with six players to pick.

Also new for 2016/17 is the Premier Punt app, which is available on Apple and Android.

What’s more, Premier Punt has also become an official partner of Southampton FC this season.

Why Should I Play?

Premier Punt’s scoring model mimics the Fantasy Premier League’s and translates it directly to its game platform. This makes it easy to use for those familiar with FPL. A key difference is that no bonus points are factored in, but aside from that the team you pick should be on the same principles as FPL, albeit with a wildcard in place each week.

Player prices are also different and set by Premier Punt’s own algorithm, so there is some extra thinking to do rather than simply translating your FPL line up into your Punt XI each time.

How Do I Get Started?

You can register with an account with Premier Punt here, without having to add credit card details or deposit funds.

Once registered, you need to select one of the games on offer – picking the Weekly Game type will give you access to the various tournaments on offer for Gameweek 1.

Simply select the weekly games, then choose your XI and then join up with the contest or “challenge” of your choice.

Among the main weekly game prizes is a £5 entry game with a £1,000 pot. When playing any paid game Fantasy managers can also gain access to a free entry game, which has a £500 pot.

For more information Premier Punt has made this explainer video available. Premier Punt will also provide updates on its latest games and offers via its Facebook and Twitter accounts.

      Looks good. Just worry about Palace slightly without a recognised top class striker to put chances away. Might restrict Townsend a bit.

      1. John wick
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Hmm townsend is on freekicks and corners dtas y

        Any replacement for him
        A. Del boy or miraallias
        B. Any other

        And plss rate

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Cabaye will take their set pieces rather than Townsend i'd imagine...

    2. Swanremainsthesame
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Feghouli likely only starts gw1, after that its probs Ayew

      1. John wick
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        No funds to get him...

        Feggouli to fischer or ibe then

  3. _Jane

    Most important thing I learned from last season

    Dont change the captaincy in the last minute unless he is injured or not starting follow your gut

    1. Tadic is the new Eriksen
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      put it on agüero and you're fine

  4. OZIL-TEEN
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Last year, I started with Ayew and Gomis and got a big haul. Rationale; Monk was established at Swansea and only had one way of playing. So thought they would be quick out the blocks, compared to other managers tinkering with new systems. Any teams/managers giving similar vibes this year?

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        spurs and leic and livpool

        1. Won't sleep till after…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Yep, Spurs too just because they are settled and each player should know what they're doing from the off.

      2. Won't sleep till after…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        7 years, 10 months ago

        Liverpool believe it or not. A whole summer spent gegenpressing and Mane should be able to blend in with their mobile front three.

        1. OZIL-TEEN
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Sounds like the way to go. On the otherhand, steering clear of Man U (maybe City).

        2. Michael_Scott
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I agree with Liverpool, even with their tough start fixture wise. Were Spurs not fairly settled last year too but started fairly poorly from what I can remember. Didn't score many goals in the early games.

      3. JimmyB
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        With bolasie moving who is a better option?
        A) Townsend
        B) Lamela
        C) other?? (Not Tadic)

        Cheers

      4. Nicks93

        Is Amat or Kingsley likely to start GW1??

              Amat. Kingsley will get replaced by Taylor

        Front 7:
        A) Firmino - Fab - Tadic - Siggy - Kun - Ibra - 6.5
        Or
        B) Hazard - De Bruyne - Siggy - Townsend - Kun - Lukaku - 6.5

        1. OZIL-TEEN
            7 years, 10 months ago

            A)

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Alli or Erikssen please? I just cannot decide!

          1. Tadic is the new Eriksen
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Alli

          2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Alli

          3. Bullet Eder
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Alli

          4. Worzel Gummidge
              7 years, 10 months ago

              Toss a coin. Can go either way.

            • Musicholic

              • 8 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              Eriksen. On the spots as well.

              1. Tadic is the new Eriksen
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                no, kane is

              2. Worzel Gummidge
                  7 years, 10 months ago

                  He isn't on penalties. He is in free kicks though.

                  1. Norman Conquest
                    • 10 Years
                    7 years, 10 months ago

                    and corners

              3. JUNITED
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                Depends which one you trust. If you think set piece takers is better then choose Eriksen but Alli plays behind a striker so has better chance to score goals.

            • Bedknobs and Boomsticks
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              Could we get a scout article tomorrow explaining just what the hell happened with all the transfers today please. Would be very helpful.

                • 8 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                Both are good.

                1. KingOllie
                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 10 months ago

                  Fixtures favour the Long

              Bottomed.

              Who will score more points GW1.

              A. Ibra and Mahrez
              B. Vardy and Martial

              Austin starts Saturday Y / N ?
              Too good to miss if he does.

                • 8 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                I think he comes off the bench.

              Is having Tadic and Redmond together too risky?

              Foster/ Jaku
              Mcauley/ Funes/ Stones/ Friend/ Amat
              Hazard/ Firmino/ Tadic/ Redmond/ Siggy

                Southampton and Everton assets both potentially available at 4.5. I think I'm gonna go super cheap in defence

                Just saw this on Twitter

                Last summer Bayern Munich bought Arturo Vidal for £31m.
                Everton are about to buy Yannick Bolasie for up to £30m.

                Lol

                Mahrez or Firmino? Really worried about having no Lpool attacking cover as they are built for goals... Then again v tough opening fixs vs. leicester quite easy fixs

                1. Won't sleep till after…

                  Mahrez just for opening weekend then switch to Firmino after?

                2. Blame it on Traore

                A - Foster Tadic Costa
                or
                B - Courtois Mahrez Gray?

                I have tried the 'big three' up fron, and it just puts me off my midfield, can't risk it at the beginning. So it's Gray as my 3rd forward and staying that way.
                That being said, might as well throw it out there and join the hundred's of RMT's 🙂

                Foster
                Valencia - VVD - Stones
                Ramirez - Hazard - Alli - Tadic
                Gray - Ibrahimovic - Aguero

                  what risk?

                    the risk of ibra doing well? The risk of lamela and redmond flopping over a more reliable alli and tadic? the risk of all that just for the sake of Vardy? i'm starting sensible.

                        I can't argue with that if your going without Ibra, i just feel he'll start well that's all, and a united fan, biased and all that haha.

                  Fairly similar to mine, I like it. Is Jak owned by 100% of FFS posters at this point?

                      Surprisingly only 12% total ownership.

                  Ramirez to Ficsher/ Ferghouli?

                    must admit it felt great! haha!
                    i'm pretty set on ramirez, works hard, set pieces and all that, i'm not too keen on feghouli, risk of losing his place, not the best shooter of the ball, and Fischer i dont know enough about, and he doesn't like to track back according to boro fans.
