The Fantasy Premier League deadline may have sailed past, leaving you with rueful thoughts about the players you overlooked or regretful ones about the unproven quantity you gambled on.
There is still time to right those wrongs with FanTeam’s FPL-style, £1m Premier League Fantasy game, however – as the deadline for Gameweek 1 is not until kick-off in Brentford v Arsenal at 20:00 BST.
Not only that, you can get entry to FanTeam’s £1m Fantasy game with an annual Scout Membership – click here or below to find out more about this offer and all of the terms and conditions.
There is a whopping £1,000,000 in prize money up for grabs in this tournament, with £200k going to the winner and even the managers down in 5,000th place doubling their entry fee.
Given that just over 26,000 managers have entered a team so far, the odds are fairly favourable.
SCOUT’S GAMEWEEK 1 TEAM FOR 2021/22
There’s more to FanTeam than goals, clean sheets and assists, which partly influenced our team selection.
Lasting 90 minutes is a real boon for midfielders and forwards in this game, hence why we’re risking Ollie Watkins’ (£7.5m) fitness in the knowledge that he was worth 36 extra points last season because of his durability.
Unlike in FPL, Sadio Mane (£10.0m) offers a mammoth saving of £2.5m on his Egyptian club colleague – something that can go a long way elsewhere, even to the point of having a £9.5m-rate luxury substitute in the form of Son Heung-min, whose fixtures improve no end after Gameweek 1.
Kostas Tsimikas (£4.0m) is as cheap and cheerful in FanTeam as he is in FPL, while the fact that save points are awarded for every stop leads us to Illan Meslier (£5.0m), who was kept very busy last season but whose defence in front of him started to tighten up this calendar year.
Gung-ho full-back Nelson Semedo (£4.5m) is in place for Wolves’ fixture swing in Gameweek 4, meanwhile.
