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.

        7 years, 10 months ago

        😛

        That's my issue though. If Redmond's quiet for 60 minutes, Austin can come on and grab a goal. Then you've got a problem for GW2...

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          with austin lurking redomond is one bad performance away from the bench

            ↑↑↑ this.

            But a few good ones from being insane value. 😕 🙂

      Who?

      1. andy_h1993
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I'm all about Austin aswell especially with no pelle ff bargain this year

  3. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Bolasie £30m
    Stones £50m

    Holy smokes thats a lot of money. Almost justifies the money spent on Pogba that.

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

      Best just forget price tags at this rate, getting extremely silly

    2. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Football has gone Bats*it crazy

    3. aehii
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Bolasie for 30 million is one of those where nothing makes sense anymore. So much money for players who have done nothing. And I like him, he is different, great to watch, but so inconsistent, and not the difference for Everton, that changes how well they might do. Lukaku was more that.

    4. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      And then there is £12m for Williams. That's doesn't make any sense at all. Arsenal should be all over that, no??

      1. L S P
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        we don't like the obvs

  4. Kizza_10
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Which one please guys

    A. Bolasie & Ayew

    B. Pogba & Ibe

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

      Overwhelmingly A imo, bolasie at everton and ayew at West Ham make them shrewd picks

    2. Gandaia
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B

    3. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A

  5. Casp123
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    A) Haz + 4.5
    B) Eriksen + Bolasie

    1. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I assume the 4.5/Bolasie pick is your 5th mid?

      1. Casp123
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yes. Redmond is my 4th.

        1. Giovanni Giorgio
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Then easily A.

  6. Cruz88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Ok help me out guys, pick one please

    A) Tadic and Oscar
    B) Redmond and Hazard

    1. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Kizza_10
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Bolasie & Hazard

      1. Cruz88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Was reading around here that Bolasie wasn't a great shout I'm sure

  7. Gandaia
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    RMT

    Heaton/Foster

    Shaw/Stones/Williams/Friend/Pieters

    Firmino/Eriksen/Tadic/Phillips/Capoue

    Kun/Zlatan/Gray

    Williams if he goes to Everton.

    Have 1.0 in the bank so might go from Gray to Benteke if the latter moves to Palace.

  8. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Lost on last page

    Help is needed please on deciding on my Final 2DFs and MF for this team

    16.5m in bank and this for 1st 6 weeks

    Butland Foster

    Morgan Friend Mee xxxxxxx xxxxxxx

    Hazard Eriksen Fischer Watmore xxxxxxx

    Aguero Ibrahimovic Carroll

    Any ideas would be welcomed

  9. Assist me a river
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    A or B lads?

    A: Baines/ Souare

    B: Stones/ Funes Mori

    1. Kizza_10
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Stones with Williams/Morgan

      1. Assist me a river
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Williams is a good pick

  10. Aarono23
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Need to start counting posts. Bottomed again.

    Redmond or Deulofeu/other 6.5m mid.

    1. Kizza_10
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Bolasie ?

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

      If Deu nails his spot down and can add goals to his output as he's done in preseason he could be great. Bolasies arrival throws all that up in the air

      1. Aarono23
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Missed the Bolas in news. That escalated quickly.

  11. Super_Frank
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    1) Kingsley or Amat to start?
    2) A.Carroll position under threat by Ayew?
    3) Who to spend 12.5 on for 2 mids?

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      amat
      yes
      tadic + bolasie

  12. Zero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Evening all.

    Does anyone know how to get an xls list of the FanDuel players?

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Bolasie could also play up front for everton?

    1. JIM BOB
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku hasn't left

  14. Max Dewit
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Why are people picking fletcher > hojbjerg?

    1. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Must be for nailed bench fodder?

  15. sirmorbach
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    A. Pieters + Ibra
    B. Morgan or Stones + Kane

    (already got Eriksen from Spurs)

    1. Kizza_10
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Swap Eriksen for Pogba and go for B.

  16. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 15 Years

        That was part of the fun if you did not start him you left him first sub, injury to other player he comes on.
        He is a potential big score v any team.
        Had a mini hot streak at one stage. Maybe three games in a row?

    Foster (Jaku)

    Bojan and Townsend nailed on?

    1. twoplustwo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Both must be likely to get good minutes; I think Bojan in particular is great value (in my team)

  20. andy_h1993

    Pogba nearly top chosen United midfielder already

    Foster (Jaku)
    Walker--Pieters--McAuley (Friend, Valencia)
    Hazard--Firmino--Alli--Redmond (Capoue)

  24. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I'm getting carried away with new signings I think...

    Stones, Williams, Bolaise, Ayew & Ibra in the draft 🙄

    1. turd ferguson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      so no aguero?

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Oh yes, first name on the team sheet

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

      Ayew and Williams great picks imo

    3. Cesc's old mullet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Have Bolasie and Williams been confirmed?

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        fee agreed for Williams, under going medical. So done deal.

        Bolaise on way...

        1. Cesc's old mullet
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Ok then, 0.5 saved on an Everton defender by going Coleman -> Williams

          1. Evs
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            BAPS !

    4. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      How's the draft looking Evs baby?

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        The word is 'fluid' currently

        I want JT, but if Bolaise goes through (Williams is done deal)

        Pretty template but...

        Foster / Jak
        Williams, Stones, Shaw, Evans (or Wolly), 4m
        Haz, Firmino (not keen, want Mahrez), Bolasie, Ayew, Leko
        Aguero, Gray, Zlatan

        Your goodself?

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Foster Jakupovic
          Terry VVD Koné Evans Friend
          Hazard Mahrez Siggy Redmond Hojbjerg
          Aguero Vardy Gray

          That's how it's sitting at present but I may go 4.0m defender, may change Van Dijk, may change Siggy, and may get Ibrahimovic.

          To be honest I'm up in the air and had a work commute today and tomorrow so I'm dead on my feet at the minute for research that'll have to wait till Thursday Evs. Interesting that a Shaw/Terry/Stones defence could be so cheap with a covering 4.5 def and a non playing 4.0.

          I've a few crunch decisions to make yet.

          1. Evs
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Kinda happy with the defence but think Terry could be priceless under Conte.

            MF is my dilemma

            Should avoid Firmino really with those fixs.

            1. Hibbo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              I don't like those Liverpool fixtures myself I'm kinda happy to sit and wait for Hull onwards, I think.

              I think Terry is a super buy I think he could well be a warrior for Conte I'd like to start with him.

              To Ibra or not to Ibra is my dilemma, and that has a knock on for the rest of my squad.

              Im in two minds whether to go sprint start for 3 gws and maybe wildcard but I don't want to back myself into a hole where I have to play the wildcard either, if you get me.

            2. Hibbo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              Kinda thinking I could add Gabriel to that list of three defenders as a 5.0m option if Arsenal don't sign a back and Mertesacker is out etc that'd be a potential gold mine of four defenders for cheap money and potentially a lot of clean sheets.

              Hazard/Mahrez I'd be happy to start with its get the right 3rd / 4th with maybe Aguero / Ibra and that could be a strong old squad for me to start the season.

      I like. Same front 3 as what i'm thinking.

      Not sure about Martial and Lamela. Yes they give you coverage for those big teams. But, i've gone for defenders from United and Spurs and am gambling without their attackers for now. I can't see United starting with many goals.

    a) VVD Lamela
    b) Stones Ayew

    Kinda want some Spurs cover for GW2 but also think Ayew will do well

      Depends on how long you plan on keeping your defender : Terry is gold IMO for the first 4 GW

    Too much Spurs? Would appreciate any feedback

    DDG / 4.0

    Stones / Pieters / McAuley / Friend / 4.0

    Alli / Firmino / Ayew / Eriksen / Drinkwater

    Kane / Deeney / Ibrahimovic
