Thought you’d missed the boat for FanTeam‘s €1,000,000 FPL-style Fantasy game or wish you’d entered another team? Well, there’s some good news on that front.

Late registration is still open for their season-long game, which carries a guaranteed prize pool of €1m.

Even better: new entrants won’t be starting from zero points, as they’ll be handed 70% of the average Gameweek 1 and 2 scores – which equates to a healthy 89 points.

On top of that, you’ll get unlimited transfers up until the Gameweek 3 deadline of 11am BST this Saturday.

Finishing in the top 5,659 places ensures a cash prize, with €200,000 of the kitty going straight to the winner.

Weekly and monthly prizes are also awarded, while there are exclusive weekly Freeroll events (at no extra charge) for entrants into the season-long game.

In case you needed more persuading, here’s how you can turn your late entry into an advantage.

UNLIMITED TRANSFERS

Those entering a new team in FanTeam‘s €1m FPL-style Fantasy game will get unlimited free transfers between now and the start of Gameweek 3.

While those who registered teams before 2020/21 got underway or ahead of Gameweek 2 will only have one or two free transfers (and the precious Wildcard) in their locker, managers of newly entered teams will get to tweak their sides as much as they like until the next deadline.

TWO GAMEWEEKS’ WORTH OF EYE TESTS AND STATS

Picking a squad at the start of a season relies a lot on gut instinct, with the knowledge that last season’s performances and statistics may now be immaterial.

Fantasy managers entering a FanTeam squad ahead of Gameweek 3 will have the advantage of having seen all 20 Premier League clubs in action, so will be armed with line-up information, eye test observations and up-to-date underlying stats when creating their teams from scratch.

How many early birds would have predicted Everton’s excellent form or Manchester United’s slow start, for example?

FIXTURE SWINGS

FanTeam managers who are entering in Gameweek 3 can build their side around teams with favourable upcoming fixtures.

Our Season Ticker is a good place to go to check on the forthcoming matches and we can see both positive and negative swings ahead of this weekend’s round of games.

Crystal Palace now only face one of last season’s top six up until Gameweek 11, while Wolves have five very winnable matches between Gameweeks 3-7.

On the flip side, Arsenal’s next five games are all against sides who finished in the top half last season.

      He's already had it mate 😀

    2. Seanigula
      6 years, 29 days ago

      I don’t think there is one

    3. Klaren
      6 years, 29 days ago

      It will be next Friday.

      However there might possibly be an embargoed section of the last night's conference which gets released later.

      1. E25
        6 years, 29 days ago

        That'll be released Saturday

        1. Tempestic

          Not helpful then

    1. Glad He Ate Her

      Jesus*

    2. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Kevinn!!

    3. Seanigula
      6 years, 29 days ago

      His goal is to be fit for the Leeds game

  3. Energetics
    6 years, 29 days ago

    On a wildcard how’s this?

    Guaita
    Digne James Saiss
    KDB Sterling Son Hames Podence
    Werner DCL

    4.0 Mitchell Justin Brewster

    Just did Bruno to Sterling due to supposed Jesus injury

    1. Fit_to_drop
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Thats a solid WC

  4. faux_C
    6 years, 29 days ago

    G2G?

    Areola
    TAA, Ayling, Taylor
    Salah, Trossard, KDB, Podence
    Wilson, Werner(c), Richarlison

    (McCarthy, Soucek, KWP, Tierney)

    1. Fit_to_drop
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Except for the keeper, Yes.

  5. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 29 days ago

    Foden and VVD in 352 or Robbo and Mitro in 343?

    1. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Mitroooo!!

    2. Bavarian
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Robbo Mitro

    1. Flair
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Sample size far too small.

    2. tokara
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Score alot?

      1. Ser Davos
        6 years, 29 days ago

        Can't draw too much from it

    3. The Mandalorian
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Sterling as CF makes sense he's mobile and got a good shot.

    4. Klaren
      6 years, 29 days ago

      He played a total of 73 minutes in those 2 games in 19/20 season. And he also has a FPL assist in the Newcastle game. So actually great stats, but not meaningful given sample size.

    5. ElliotJHP
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Looks unsuccessful #WelcomeDelap

  6. McSauce
    6 years, 29 days ago

    best 4.5m Def?

    1. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Lapmtey they say

    2. Carlton P
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Taylor for me but many think Lamptey

    3. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Lamptey is basically a winger

      You're all wrong. It's Lee Hendrie.

  9. Fero1905
    6 years, 29 days ago

    Martinez
    TAA James Saiss ( Lamptey Dunne)
    Salah KDB podence ***** Anguissa
    **** Mitrovic Jimenez

    Would you fill the caps with

    A) Son & DCL + 1.0 spend elswhere
    Or
    B ) Rodriguez & Werner

  10. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 29 days ago

    Any ideas with my WC team?

    Martinez 4m
    TAA Semedo Taylor Lamptey Mitchell
    Salah KDB Son Podence 4.5m
    Werner Wood DCL

    Thanks

    1. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Looks good. I would go Mitro over Wood tho.

      1. Tempestic
        6 years, 29 days ago

        Disagree with this one tbh, Wood looks prime for the next 3

        1. Bobby Digital
          6 years, 29 days ago

          Mitro looks good for the next 7...

    2. Kuzser
      6 years, 29 days ago

      one of my WC options so really like it. Wood is not popular pick, but will come good I'm sure

    3. Hulk Smash
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Is Semedo worth the extra over Saiss? I've heard his attacking stats aren't the best and Saiss has attacking threat of his own.

      1. Tempestic
        6 years, 29 days ago

        Depends how he adapts to the RWB role, anything like Doherty and hes a bargain

        1. Hulk Smash
          6 years, 29 days ago

          To me that's a bit like saying if Ferran Torres is anything like Sterling he'll be a great asset. Well yeah, but the 'if' is the whole question. Is there much to suggest he will be as high scoring as Doherty?

    4. Carlton P
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Lovely. Keep wood

    5. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Cheers everyone 🙂

  11. Glad He Ate Her
    6 years, 29 days ago

    a) Jesus, Podence, Lamptey

    b) Davis, Son, VVD

    1. Kloppage Time
      6 years, 29 days ago

      b) Jesus may not start

      1. Glad He Ate Her
        6 years, 29 days ago

        Could just as easily be Werner

    2. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 29 days ago

      A

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      6 years, 29 days ago

      A

  12. The Mandalorian
    6 years, 29 days ago

    KDB and Sterling could both miss the game, nothing confirmed for KDB.
    Is Werner the better option.

    1. tokara
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Ban

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 29 days ago

      What’s this now, for goodness sake

    3. Threat Level Midnight
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Sterling has -0.0% chance of not playing.

    4. Hairy Potter
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Sterling now?? Rumouritis is contagious.

    5. Kloppage Time
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Evening Standard an hr ago
      Man City predicted XI: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Ake, Mendy; Fernandinho, Rodri; De Bruyne; Torres, Sterling, Foden

      1. Flair
        6 years, 29 days ago

        Mahrez over Torres but besides that, this lineup looks certain to play.

        1. tokara
          6 years, 29 days ago

          Why is Mahrez out of favour

    6. Seanigula
      6 years, 29 days ago

      I liked Star Wars too...when I was 10

    7. The Mandalorian
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Sorry Jesus not Sterling

      1. Fit_to_drop
        6 years, 29 days ago

        FFS - a typo of that magnitude on a Friday evening. *throwing my eyes upto heaven*

  13. Kuzser
    6 years, 29 days ago

    Keep tinkering so will appreciate your help with the best combo to complete WC?

    1) Robbo - Son Podence Zaha
    2) Robbo - Zaha Foden - Jimenez
    3) TAA - Son Podence - Wood (extra money to do justin/taylor->James)
    4) TAA - Son Podence Foden

    Martinez
    Saiss - Taylor - Justin - Mitchell - XXX
    KdB - Salah - XXX - XXX - XXX
    Dcl - Werner - XXX

    McCarthy (Steer)
    Taa Kwp Taylor Mitchell (Justin)
    Salah son KDB (Soucek, stephens)
    Wilson Werner Ings

      Gtg

  15. FOO FIGHTER
    6 years, 29 days ago

    Leicester in the driving seat vs City...

    I would cap Vardy if I had him.

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Fer ShureEeEeEeE

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Get him in and do it then

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        6 years, 29 days ago

        ITS ALLLLL LIP SERVICE.

  16. Liberate HK - antichinazi
    6 years, 29 days ago

    This alleged Jesus injury woudl ruin up my entire plan....can someone please confirm this 🙁

    1. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Your guess is as good as ours

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Yes I can confirm that it would ruin your plan.

  17. Bavarian
    6 years, 29 days ago

    any changes on my WC team?

    Martinet (Steer)
    Robertson- Saiss-Taylor (Mitchell-Ferguson)
    Salah-Son-Havertz-KDB (Bissouma)
    Mitrovic-Jimenez-DCL

    0.0 ITB

    1. Robson-Canoe
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Havertz hasn't looked great in the league so far, wouldn't touch him.

  18. ClaireT
    6 years, 29 days ago

    Already done Saka & Vardy to Foden & Jimenez for-4. Is it worth doing ASM to Podence for -8?

    McCarthy, Button
    TAA, Justin, Saiss, Holding, Lascelles
    Bruno, ASM, Foden, Salah, Reed
    DCL, Jimi, Werner

    1. Fit_to_drop
      6 years, 29 days ago

      No, there is a chance Podence either might not start or get hauled off.

      1. Hulk Smash
        6 years, 29 days ago

        Based on what?

  19. LWB
    6 years, 29 days ago

    I have Saiss and Mitchell, but who else to get?

    A) VVD + 4.5m + 4.5m
    B) Ake + RJames + 5m
    C) Ake + Chilwell + 4.5m

    Thanks

  20. Glad He Ate Her
    6 years, 29 days ago

    How "essential" is Son? Is he must own for your team on WC?

    1. Bavarian
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Nice run of fixtures

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Form is as good as is gets. I brought him in for Bruno for a hit. Sonny blank confirmed.

    3. ElliotJHP
      6 years, 29 days ago

      No - Think it's a between Son-Jesus-Werner and there are arguments for all three

    4. Hairy Potter
      6 years, 29 days ago

      I've been borderline between him and Jesus all week on my WC. Was going to go Jesus, but this injury rumour has got me questioning my approach.

    5. antis0cial
      6 years, 29 days ago

      With the amount of options it’s hard to call anyone essential so far.

    6. Flair
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Not in the slightest

  21. kamdaraji
    6 years, 29 days ago

    wonder if covid has took hold of Man City squad

  22. Fudgy
    6 years, 29 days ago

    People ask me how I'm posting here all day and that's because I do FPL full time, it's my job.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Nice job you have

    2. Gudjohnsen
      6 years, 29 days ago

      That would probably be one of my top 5 jobs.

      1. Fudgy
        6 years, 29 days ago

        It's great but I get stressed a lot

  23. antis0cial
    6 years, 29 days ago

    I was hoping to wait to do Martial to Jime till next week as it would be a -4 this week and Man U okay Brighton.

    Chances of
    A) martial falling tonight
    B) Jime rising Tonight

    Could be a .2 value swing.

  24. Rinseboy
    6 years, 29 days ago

    How's this draft looking?

    Martinez Steer
    Saiss Semeda James Lamptey Mitchell
    Salah KDB Son Havertz Foden
    DCL Jimi Brewster

    1. Tsssst
      6 years, 29 days ago

      i like

    2. Fit_to_drop
      6 years, 29 days ago

      I dont think id do double Wolves defence. I wouldnt do Havertz either until i see a little more. Rest of it looks fine.

  25. Bobby Digital
    6 years, 29 days ago

    Douglas my only fit sub and I have 0FTs. Will be a nervy weekend.

  26. Patron
    6 years, 29 days ago

    In case Jesus is out:

    Foden or Mahrez?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Foden

    2. Tsssst
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Foden

      Mahrez will no doubt bag against his former employers but you cant ignore Foden's value

      1. Patron
        6 years, 29 days ago

        Yes, I actually think that Foden will get more minutes over the next few weeks...

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      6 years, 29 days ago

      I would not pick any City when you do not know who is out.

  27. The Mandalorian
    6 years, 29 days ago

    With KDB a possible doubt do you plan to captain Werner, Salah or leave it on KDB?

    1. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 29 days ago

      Werner over KDB for me, even without the KDB doubt.

    2. AuFeld
      6 years, 29 days ago

      I will possibly still captain KdB.

    3. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 29 days ago

      KDB(c), Salah(vc). Based on concussion injury KDB will either play or not (won't come off bench)

  28. as33
    6 years, 29 days ago

    Which to captain:
    a)Sterling
    b)Mane
    c)Salah

    1. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 29 days ago

      C

  29. Old Wulfrunian
    6 years, 29 days ago

    Best pick to replace Rudiger?
    a)James
    b)Zouma
    c)Saiss
    d)Taylor

    1. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 29 days ago
