You won’t have to pay a penny to enter FanTeam‘s latest Freeroll event, which gives Fantasy managers the chance to compete for a £1,000 prize pool on Boxing Day.

To the layman, this is a Fantasy tournament that effectively gives entrants the chance to build a six-a-side ‘Free Hit’ squad for the first five matches of Gameweek 19:

There is a jackpot of £420 up for grabs and prizes awarded down to 12th place.

The deadline is at 15:00 GMT on Sunday.

SCOUT PICKS FOR GAMEWEEK 19

£1,000 on offer in FanTeam's free-to-play Boxing Day Fantasy event 4

HOW TO PLAY: A BRIEF GUIDE

Different from the usual squad-based games, FanTeam managers are given a budget of €90m to build a team of six players from any position. A maximum of three players per club is permitted.

These half-dozen assets then score points as they would in FPL (more below) based on their on-field achievements.

Here are some notable things to consider in the otherwise easy-to-play game:

  • There is no bench or manual substitutes; instead, there is a ‘Safety Net’ feature. If a player in your Fantasy team isn’t in the starting XI for their side, they will automatically be substituted for the next priced player from the same position and club.
  • A ‘Stacking Penalty’ is given if you have two or more defensive players from the same club and they keep a clean sheet. One point is deducted for each additional asset that you select from the same side.
  • Captains and vice-captains score 1.5 and 1.2 times the points respectively – but also cost 50% and 20% more!

HOW DOES THE SCORING WORK?

FPL managers looking for a way to make their knowledge pay will have no trouble picking up FanTeam‘s Gameweek 19 Freeroll, with its familiar scoring system.

Think of it as FPL without the bonus points, with a few other exceptions such as shots on target, winning/losing impact points and ‘stacking penalties’ – detailed in the graphic above.

    On WC

    A Antonio
    B Lacazette

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Pondering a similar thing.

      A. Antonio+Tierney+Dalot
      B. Laca+White+Johnson

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      For this week B but longer term it’s A

  2. Sun God Nika
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Whose taken out salah or going to before deadline?

    My brain Says salah to son this morning
    But my heart says to keep the king for another 2 gws

    1. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I’ve pulled the trigger.

      Son outscores Salah over the next 4 and you can captain Jota/Trent next week.

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Definitely possible for him to score outscore salah

    2. POGON 1948
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Already pulled the trigger knowing Salah will do something unfathomable against Lei. It is what it is.

      also amazing avatar, didnt expect to see zoro on here lol

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Haha finally worked out how to add a photo

        I love one piece and the green hair God!

    3. Lh909
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm keeping, I hate Man Utd and Spurs have been mediocre. A well rested Salah against a depleted Leicester on Tuesday is lovely (c) material. Also depends on your team obviously, I can field 10 (at the moment).

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Part of my reasoning for free hitting is so I have Salah for the Leicester game. Sell him for Son or KDB the week after.

      2. Sun God Nika
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        My current team

        Ramsdale
        Rudi cancelo (c) James cash
        Galla esr Bernardo
        Watkins toney

        Sanchez jota taa salah

        Was tempted to just do Dennis to broja to free up cash

        What u think?

  3. Sid07
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    No of players you will take FH for

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      4

    2. AnyoneButLiverpool
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      4-5

  4. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Trying to relax and enjoy my birthday. What do you reckon?
    A) Salah to son
    B) Salah to son, Antonio to ronaldo (-4)
    C) Salah to bowen, dennis to ronaldo (-4)

    1. TeddiPonza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      C

  5. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    FT = Salah > Son

    Anything for a hit?

    DDG
    Cancelo, James, Alonso, Livra
    Son, Foden, Bilva
    Watkins, Broja

    Steele, TAA*, Jota*, Raphinha*, Dennis*

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Any money left?

      1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        3.2 so still a bit short of Watkins > Ronaldo. Could move Alonso to fodder, but means a -8

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Very similar team to mine. I have Mount & Reguilon over Raphinha & Alonso.

      I am thinking of a -8:

      Watkins & Raphinha for you to CR7 & Martinelli.
      Or Dennis & Foden to the same pair.

      1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Hmm that’s a shout! Think it’s worth the -8?

  6. Ray85
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Would you do Antonio or Watkins to Ronaldo?

    1. AnyoneButLiverpool
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Watkins

  7. vincentwsho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Is Guaita to DDG worth a -4?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Long-term, yes

      Short-term, yes

  8. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Salah > KDB this week for free?

    1. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Would prioritise someone with an upcoming DGW if you’re losing Salah.

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely and captain him.

  9. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Leeds selling Raphinha in January would be funny.

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Won't happen

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        For FPL it would be good. Would make Leeds and Watford great to target in January.

  10. Tinfoil Deathstar
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Would you free hit this team? 5 confirmed out and 2 doubts (Foden/Antonio). Yes or No.

    Sanchez
    Cancelo Alonso James Livra
    Salah* Jota* Saka Foden
    Laca Antonio

    Subs: Gunn; King*, Trent*, Raphinha*

    1. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yeh I think that ones a FH, just about.

      1. POGON 1948
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        It's a reluctant yes from me as well.. Wouldn't want to be in that position, best of luck mate

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Unless you fancy doing:
      Salah & Raphinha to Son & Martinelli and just accepting you might get only 9 players, I would say FH.

      Personally I would just make the above transfer and hope that if you get hit, everyone gets hit with carnage.

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        That kind of sounded like I contradicted myself.. what I meant is, if you are not happy to accept some might not play then play FH. Otherwise make 2 transfers, as I would do 🙂

        1. Tinfoil Deathstar
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Cheers fella. Yeah I’m considering Salah & King to Martinelli and CR7 or Salah & Raphinha to Son and Bowen for a -4.

          I think I’m leaning towards the FH but if I get some positive news before deadline on Foden starting then I’ll likely hold fire.

  11. jai1212
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    If I'm on a FH, do I remove Cancelo?

    1. huwwilliams_
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      absolutely not

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Just have a playing bench and start him. Nothing to lose

    3. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      No.

    4. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't. He was in a Christmas pic with his wife and child so doubt he's got COVID

      1. The-Red-1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I agree, I expect him to start. But you can have Covid and still have a photo with your family if they've all had negative lateral flows

    5. Lh909
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      No, I've given him the armband

  12. BigKeith
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Not sure whether to just save the ft

    Sanchez (Steele)
    James, Rudiger, Regulion, Cancelo (TAA)
    Gallagher, ESR, Bernardo (Salah, Bissouma)
    Watkins, Laca, Antonio

    a ESR> Martinelli
    b Gallagher> Martinelli
    c FH because of Gallagher and Antonio might have covid, Chelsea won't keep a CS and ESR might be on the bench.
    d Risk it and roll

    Hi guys,

    Wildcard draft - what do you think?

    Sanchez, Dubravka

    TAA, James, Cancelo, Dier, Dalot

    Son, Foden, Bernardo, Martinelli, Gallagher

    Ronaldo, Maupay, Watkins

    My thinking:

    Removing Salah due to blank this week and AFCON, and Jota cos no game. Losing a total of 0.6 TV which hurts, but think needs to be done. TAA remains and will just miss this game.

    Despite having 2 free hit chips, I’ve favoured teams that have multiple games in hand. The idea is that there will be 4 or 5 DGWs, so hopefully I won’t need a free hit on the first one as I’ll already be fairly well setup.

    Thoughts please?

    Seen some rumours that Ferguson has Covid.

    That kid will do anything not to play a game, poor sod.

    1. vincentwsho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Know who else on Palace is rumored?

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Gallagher I believe

  17. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Problem with FH this week is that I'm tempted to go KDB and Mahrez while I have Bilva and Foden.
    Could end with egg on my face if Foden and Bilva haul.

  18. ResultatFar
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Mount or Mahrez on a FH?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Neither imo

  19. donbagino
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Can field 12 players without transfer, including Jesus and ESR who are not nailed. Espacially Jesus - for me 40-60 that he starts (whats your opinion)?
    a) Salah - Son
    b) Salah, Jesus - Son + Ronaldo (-4)
    c) save FT

  20. Shardlow
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsdale (Steer)
    White, Cancelo, James, Targett (TAA)
    Bernardo, Gallagher (Salah, Jota, Brownhill)
    Kane, Antonio (King)

    1 FT 0.4 ITM

    A. Just King to Broja to get 10
    B. FH
    C. Something else

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Salah, Brownhill to Martinelli, Son

    2. Dave’s Rubber Digne R…
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I was all for Salah out this morning. Now I’m probably on King to Broja to field 11 then let Salah rip vs Leicester

  21. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Kane or De Bruyne on FH?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Kane

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      De Bruyne

  22. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    A) Son, Lacazette
    B) Ronaldo, Martinelli

    1. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      The betting odds would say B by some distance.

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        yup

  23. Gabbiadini
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Would you trade or hold Dennis (1FT, 0.0ITB)?

  24. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Have 6 outfield players not playing. Also have Livra and Bernardo

    1 FT - would you free hit?

    Thanks

      Spurs/Palace going ahead

  26. AnyoneButLiverpool

    Ramsdale

    Cancelo Rudiger Dalot Livramento

    Son Martinelli Foden Gallagher

    Ronaldo Lacazette

    Sanchez* Jota* Dennis* TAA*

    Currently on -8, would you keep it as it is or activate free hit??? Please help me.

    1. Dave’s Rubber Digne R…
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Keep and c Ronaldo

  27. Athletico Underachieving
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Best Dennis replacement up to 7.9…not on FH:

    A) Watkins (next game at risk?)
    B) Broja (rotation risk)
    C) Someone else

  28. Cathal Cantona
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Everyone asking if they should sell salah for son or not, its a no brainer.. stop being silly and make the move.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      It's only a no-brainer to those with no brain. Salah has a depleted Leicester next GW to fill his boots with.

      1. OneDennisBergkamp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        agreed. i also already have CR7 so no need to sell to make funds.

      2. Cathal Cantona
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        lol at your reply, lets see how salah does next week

      3. Cathal Cantona
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Hahaha! Hello Mr no brain! How did Salah go?? hahaha Did he fill his boots! Did he feck! hahaha

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          what are you, 6 years old or something?

    2. Lh909
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      No thanks

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      and KDB says hi

  29. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Steer, Salah to DDG, Son (C) for -8?

  30. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    De Gea (3.9)
    Cancelo James Tierney (Johnson 3.7)
    Son Foden Bowen Martinelli (4.5)
    Kane (c) Ronaldo Lacazette

    Lacazette over a third city midfielder (unless team news leak).

    I’d quite like Reguilon (maybe over Tierney) but it would likely be off the back of Lacazette downgrade
