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 agoMorning all,
Pretty sure that I've had most players in my team at some point over the last fortnight, but I think I'm getting close now. Any suggestions or comments would be most appreciated...
De Gea | Jakupovic
Shaw | Stones | Sagna | Terry | Wasilewski
Tadic | Barkley | Sigurdsson | Townsend | Xhaka
Aguero | Kane | Carroll
Not sure about Xhaka, but can't see much better for 5.5.
Thanks,
CustardMite (don't ask!)
