Missed the Gameweek 1 deadline for FanTeam‘s £1m FPL-style Fantasy game?

Fear not, as you have a second chance to enter ahead of this weekend’s action – and you won’t be starting from zero points!

Late registration is now open for FanTeam‘s season-long game, which carries a guaranteed prize pool of £1m.

And if you sign up for a Fantasy Football Scout annual Premium Membership for the 2021/22 season and a FanTeam £1m Premier League game ticket worth £20, you’ll get a refund or extension on your FFS Membership!

CLICK HERE TO GET THE FANTEAM TICKET/SCOUT MEMBERSHIP OFFER

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

Weekly and monthly prizes are also awarded.

New teams registered before the next FanTeam deadline at 11am BST on Saturday morning will be handed a whopping 95% of the average Gameweek 1 score (which equates to 79 points), so will immediately have the edge over thousands Fantasy managers who were involved from the outset.

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 2.

While those who registered teams before 2021/22 got underway will only have one free transfer (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.

GAMEWEEK 1 EYE TEST AND STATS

Picking a squad ahead of Gameweek 1 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 1 will have the benefit of having seen all 20 Premier League clubs in action on the opening weekend of 2021/22, so will be armed with line-up information, eye test observations and up-to-date underlying stats when creating their teams from scratch.

QUARANTINING INTERNATIONALS

A number of Premier League players could be at risk of missing out in Gameweek 4/5. Armed with this knowledge, you can give yourself the best chance of having 11 players out on the field after the September international break – or at least preserve two transfers to negotiate that round of games.

    Wat are the chances for Amartey to start?
    Ended with veltman or him on the 4th def spot.
    Else it veltman>Pinnock

    1. Ando
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Not much. I think Vestergaard will take his place.

  4. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Ramsdale priced at 4.5 and Odegaard at 5.5 is FPL putting Arsenal in the relegation fight category

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      love the price of odegaard 😀
      Makes it easy to do ESR to him

    2. The King
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Ramsdale price is about right, thought ode would be 6 so 5.5 is a good price for him

    3. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Ha, those are definitely 'lower mid-table' values!

    4. TheTinman
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      It won't be long before they are. They've pumped in a lot of money this window and have they massively improved?

    • 10 Years

    Salah or Mahrez captain?
    Do anything with Veltman or just save?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      I'm going with Mahrez.
      Salah if you want to go defensive.

      Good luck

    2. Ronnie
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Salah!!

    3. AIRMILES
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Just having Mahrez is a nice differential. I wouldn't take a risk by captaining him too.

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Veltman probably back next match?

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        And Salah c

  7. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Be curious to see which of Bruno or Mo has higher captaincy, suspect Bruno as has slightly higher ownership. Both will have a top 10k EO well over 100%, which ia annoying for owners.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      You could be curious, or you could look at the result of the captain's poll.

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        We're into group think on here so not surprised Mo leads the scout poll. Actually fancy Greenwood this gw but not brace enough to take the captaincy of Mo.

        1. TheTinman
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 13 days ago

          I also think a lot of people will back Bruno after a hat trick

    2. AIRMILES
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      I think it will be Salah, being at home. I've got the armband on him, but very very tempted to go for Bruno, given the inexperience of Southampton's defence

    3. 824545201
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Salah's EO in the top 10k will be ridiculous.

      1. TheTinman
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        The top 10k is just full of Triple Captainers and Bench Boosters right now, who cares what they do

        1. 824545201
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 13 days ago

          I meant top 10k ID's, my bad.

        2. Je suis le chat
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 13 days ago

          Some serious players amongst them.

      2. Bob McMayday
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Bruno scored more last week so he could be more highly owned in the top 10K after only that 1 gameweek

    4. mezza
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      I think Salah - Bruno’s ownership is only marginally higher

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Bruno has more transfers in so will have a fair amount more ownership amongst active teams plus captaincy amongst Man U fans.

  8. nobwak
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Play Raphinha or Digne?

    1. 824545201
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Play the guy that scored 2 goals in 2 matches against the opposing team.

    2. Ronnie

      Raph

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo

      Raph

  9. Ronnie
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Start Coufal (LEI) or Smith Rowe (CHE)?

  10. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    A) Safe
    Trent and Son

    B) Balls
    Chilwell and Lukaku

    Which one?

    1. Ronnie
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      A

    2. Boring FC

      A easily. Best 4.5m attacker? Thanks.

  11. Ando
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    All this captaincy debate between Bruno and Salah won't matter, they'll both haul.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Or not

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Yeah … it’s one of them … managers who have them both are quite possibly all or nothing … hoping they both haul or they both blank.

  12. Mr KFC
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Btm.

    My mid: Salah, Fernandez, Grnwd Havetz.

    A: bank the free transfer
    b: Havetz to Grealish (I have no city players)

      B

  13. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years

    Best 5.0 defender till GW7?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Maybe Dunk if you want to play him every week

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Have Veltman.

  14. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Is it better to target getting Son or Lukaku? Not really possible to get both alongside Bruno and Salah. I’ll have to re-jig team for either. But which is the one to go for in the medium term?

    1. AIRMILES
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Get Son for now. Give Lukaku time to get up and running.

    2. TheTinman
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      My ideal will be Son Salah and Lukaku I think. Depends a lot on what happens with Kane.

  15. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Toney or Barnes?

    1. KIRA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Cheers CAK JURIS , if you would like , you can join our Musketeer's at this year's tournament ( it is our second already ) ; surely we will need a new blade .... just hit me up if you are tempted

      thanks in advance

    Experimenting this year to see how good the collective wisdom of FPL is (https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2021/08/13/fpl-team-reveals-mark-sutherns-reveals-his-final-draft-for-gameweek-1/?hc_page=4&hc_sort_by=comment_date#hc_comment_23971186)

    Transfer for this week was Pogba + Canos in for Saka + Raphinha. Captain Salah. Details here: https://twitter.com/Abrahamjp22/status/1428977014954815498?s=19

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      This is something new and looks really interesting.
      Would be fun to see the results

      1. TheTinman
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Agree good idea though

    2. TheTinman
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      I'm already questioning your first decision though. Would the average player really get Pogba in if it meant a hit

      1. abraham22
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Good question. Based on the transfers out stats.. its a bit of a mixed bag. But it could indeed be more havertz, grealish owners making parallel moves. But saka was the most transferred out mid.. so I think reasonable to assume quite a few saka owners had money in the bank or took a hit to get in Pogba. Its really not an exact science though.. so there is still a relatively significant amount of subjectivity

    3. Herogrows
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      This is really interesting, good luck

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Someone already did this or something similar sometime in the past few years, can't remember exactly but will be interesting to see the results

    5. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Looking forward to seeing how this plays out! Out of interest, do you have some kind of threshold for deciding when a hit is acceptable? I get the Pogba one this week based on the mass of transfers in (albeit obvs not a natural move normally to consider pogba for a hit) but may be some quiet weeks where you can’t afford the highest transferred in player but it isn’t a mass transfer one so can’t be justified

      1. abraham22
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Not an exact science, I fear. But intend to keep it to max 1 hit in order to get in a player who is far and away the most transferred in (esp. If the transfer outs are also being sold in droves (less true for raphinha this week). If there is a net transfer combo that can get me quite close to the max that week without a hit, I'll take it for sure.

      Frankenstein!

  17. Fletch69
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Can't decide who to put on the bench this week, one of these:

    Shaw
    Stones
    Tsimikis
    Benrahma
    Sarr
    Barnes
    Bamford
    Toney

    1. Couch Potato
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      I've benched Barnes, but it's risky

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Or smart

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Stones

  18. Knallie
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Sanchez
    Shaw Tsimikas Coufal
    Salah(c) Fernandes Son Barnes
    Ings Antonio Tone

    99 pts, 0.5m ITB

    A) Barnes -> Gundogan (this was the plan going into GW1)
    B) Barnes -> Greenwood
    C) Save FT
    D) Other

    1. Knallie
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      forgot bench: Foster Amartey White Gilmour

    2. AIRMILES
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      I'd bring in Ferran Torres.

    3. HippY
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Same team apart from I have Digne not Coufal and I'm quite happy with mine, I'd probably save the transfer.

    Salah record versus Burnley

    7 matches

    Hmm

    1. Weeb Kakashi

      So it will follow the same trend?

      Hmm

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Burnley don't tend to leave huge gaps at the back for Salah run into.

        Literal same players for years lol

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          5 years, 13 days ago

          And now they're worse, and as a team worse defensively too

          1. Differentiator
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 13 days ago

            Don't recall Tarkowski or Mee ever being world-beaters, nor Taylor, Lowton.

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
              5 years, 13 days ago

              Don't have to be world beaters to now be worse.

        2. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years

          Exactly...

        3. Tomerick

          Exactly.

      So long as you own both the damage will be acceptable.

  21. Punty McPuntface

    Morning all, I don't think this has been discussed yet but who is best to captain?

    A salah
    B bruno

    1. The King
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      I'm on Bruno atm

    2. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Bruno. Gave him armband since last sunday and never changed, even if he blanks i wont be too dissapointed since i never wavered from his captaincy decision

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      I'm going Salah. When in doubt I chose the better player. I assume that's Mo but I'll stand corrected as I haven't really seen Bruno play.

    4. fricky_
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Im going Salah

    5. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Salad. It’s a coin toss if ever there was one. Both are great picks, was on Salad from the start so I’m just going to hold. I see a lot of the top FPL managers, most recently FPL General confirmed they are going Salad too … not that decisions should be based on that but makes me feel a bit more solid about my decision.

      Regardless … go with you gut … if something is drawing you towards one over the other, you gotta go with that.

    Best out of Taranga, Coleman, Chalobah, Duffy for the next 3 or 4 GWs?

    Thinking Coleman or Taranga. Concern is whether Duffy, Taranga will hold their places for the next 3 to 5 GWs......

    Does anyone know if we might get to see the Liverpool team sheets before transfer deadline?

    Those with jota, if firmino starts are you holding and hoping for possible points off the bench or transferring?

      No chance since they moved the deadline forwad another 30 minutes.
