We at Fantasy Football Scout are delighted to announce that we’ll be renewing our partnership with FanTeam for the 2020/21 season.

FanTeam is Europe’s biggest daily Fantasy sports platform and they offer the chance for Fantasy managers to earn cash from their expertise.

With Fantasy games in hockey, basketball, baseball and MMA – among others – covered, there’s plenty of money-making opportunities for those in the know.

Fantasy Football is what many of us love, of course, and while we twiddle our thumbs waiting for Fantasy Premier League, Sky Fantasy Football and the like to relaunch, there is profit to be made with FanTeam.

There’s a share of €25k to be won in Saturday’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final between Manchester City and Lyon, while there’s €15k on offer in the UEFA Europa League semi-final clash between Manchester United and Sevilla.

And there’s one FanTeam game in particular that is really catching our eye…

Next season, FanTeam are offering a staggering prize pool of €1,000,000 for their season-long Premier League Fantasy game, with €200,000 going to the winner.

There are prizes all the way down to 5,659th place, with those finishing 51st or above raking in at least €1,000.

Entries cost just €25, a sum that many of us will readily fork out in our Fantasy Premier League mini-leagues.

Even better: the game rules and scoring system are very similar to FPL, so skills – and teams – are easily transferred from one game to the other.

We’ll be back over the coming weeks with a series of articles on FanTeam’s million-euro cash game, delving deeper into the rules, player prices, fixture list and strategy.

Until then, head over to FanTeam and start tinkering with your team. As is the case in FPL, unlimited transfers are allowed before Gameweek 1 and the player prices don’t change until the season is underway.

    Barca = Sunday pub team.

    That scoreline is embarrassing.

    Re Greenwood's price, many saying 7.5 to 8.5.

    How on earth do you almost double the price of a player at 4.5 when Bruno scored at over 8ppg and only saw a 2.5m increase?

    Would not make sense tbf.

      Because all of a sudden that player has become a nailed first teamer who scores lots of points.

        Bruno was going at almost 9ppg mate. If anything his price should be 12 if Greenwood is going to be 7.5 to 8.5.

        Ings is at 8.5!

          Ings plays for an inferior team. Greenwood is a nailed starting forward for Man Utd. Anything lower than 7.5m is frankly a joke, and lower than 8m makes him a pretty easy selection.

      Makes a bit more sense if you look at comparative pricing. A bit more anyway. It's not so much how expensive they are but where they stand in relation to others.

      Bruno 1 mill behind KdB and 1.5 off Mo
      Greenwood 3 mill off Bruno perhaps - yet to see who else may be near his price range apart from Pulisic at I mill more assuming 7.5

          Ayew got 132 points iirc but played close to every minute.

          Could repeat that. Need to see who Palace do/don't sign but that will likely be right at end of window - it's how Palace invariably do their business

          Greenwood clearly has a way higher ceiling but how many games will be get? Assuming mid position he gets more valuable

                Agree. Especially if they make him a midfielder like they have in fanteam (which tends to be very similar to fpl) though they have priced him at 8.5m on there which would put ppl off.

        To be honest - that could be a very handy price point

        Presume Ashley Barnes won’t be any more than that, and neither will Mitro

        So you can have a 10.0 slot with the likes of Vardy, Werner, Martial in mind... a 6.5 with Wood, Mitro, Barnes in mind...

        And if you wanted to play 3 forwards - an 8.5 slot in between them for say Jimmy/Ings

                Very true

                Front 3 structured (10.0, 8.5, 6.5) allows casting a very wide net over 10-15 strikers in the quest for catching form

                  And equally, a budget two of 6.5, 6.5 up top has a deep enough pool of candidates

                IMO I think it will break City's well oiled system. Don't get me wrong, Messi is a class above almost everyone else but the great machinery that Pep has built at City will need a lot of changes to fit in Messi and that could impact others like KDB and Raz.

          One way in solving this is removing CS points for mids, which is weird in the first place. I think they only get CS points in case you picked some defensive mid who will never get an attacking return.

      How to make FWD's relevant again?

      FWDs are for sure dying in this game, theres no doubt about that. And the main reason is that mids point wise out perform them.
      It really shouldnt be like this, especially given the contentious issue of wrongful/conflicting FPL position classifications.

      Premium forwards these days are no longer a staple, but more of a differential then anything which is frankly bizarre given they spearhead the atatck of a team, but are quickly becomign one of the most neglected areas of the pitch for invetment.

      The ways I see to make FWDs relevant againare;
      - FWDs and MIDS both recieve the same points per goal as one another
      - MIDS do not receive CS points

      Maybe not both of these points need to be utilised, but they should get the same points for a goal if only one is adopted.

      Thoughts?

            Sure, but midfielders are generally speaking less likely to score than strikers. Besides if midfielders are priced higher than forwards to take into account the higher points potential, then managers are left with a tough decision. I'm okay with midfielders being higher scorers, but the prices should do a better job of reflecting that.

            Yes, I agree with this and it seems that the game would be more exciting if mids and forwards were equally good captain options, instead of mids being usually the better option.

            That said, it's possible premium forwards could still make a comeback even without a rule change. Aguero and Jesus combined for 278 points, but they split them almost equally, so neither was a great option unless one had a long-term injury.

            Also if you had a player like Lewandowski come into the league on a top team, you might suddenly have a great premium forward option. The mediocrity of Spurs and Arsenal hampers Kane and Auba.

        The emergence of ‘wide forwards’ listed as midfielders is what’s happened.

        Aubameyang was still in plenty of teams last year, just watch what happens when him, Kane or Aguero hit a run of form this season.

          When the game launched 15 years ago I think 4-4-2 was very much the norm in England, with the #7 & #11 having a fair bit of defensive responsibilities sometimes diluting their attacking appeal, and the #9 & #10 being the goal getters

          Then José came in and 4-3-3 started to become fashionable - Robben & Duff were the two that started this whole shenanigans either side of a battering ram didier drogba type & wide forwards have never looked back since

          The scoring system probably better fitted 4-4-2 & creates a bit of A loop hole for the pacy wide forwards in 4-3-3’s (now much more the norm) to score better than lone/deep lying strikers

          Cheaper strikers generally do better now as a result

            352s and Contes 343 with Alonso as one of the 4 was a big old loop hole too.
            Liverpool basically playing a 244 vs weak teams last year or two for TAA and Robbo

            Fundamentally this loophole is closed by prices.

            Players will be more relevant when they are cheaper/offer better value for money.

            If City have three easy home games in a row and one of Aguero/Jesus are injured - they’re relevant.

            Yes Salah/etc should be a forward as they’re forwards. But pricing them 20% more than a striker (at least in part) cancels that extra goal/clean sheet points out.

        If strikers start scoring 30 a season again their prices will go up. I like how the game tracks these performances. There's still gonna be choices either way. Nobody is having KDB, Salah, Sterling in the same team anymore. I find it weird that people complain about the pricing. It's a game. The challenge is fitting the best players into your budget. The prices match the players perfectly for me so far. You're always going to displease some people, but those people are brats. It's a free game. You pay nothing. And it gives you so much joy when you're doing well. Just adjust to the changes and stop being so critical.
