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.

Head to the FanTeam lobby and look for the ‘FANTEAM’S FESTIVE BOXING DAY FREEROLL – [BIG THANKS TO ALL OUR PLAYERS]’ link (seen below) to enter:

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?

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

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.

    4. AIRMILES

      Nah he’s a defensive midfielder nowadays

    FT: Salah -> Son

    A) Brownhill -> Rashford (-4) field 10
    B) Raphina -> Martinelli/Bowen (-8) field 11

    Looking at A+B. But who?

    Bottomed

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Raph to Bowen looks great to me

  3. smix
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bring in :
    A. Bowen
    B. Martinelli
    C. Moura
    D. Son (-4)

    1. Tombory
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'm risking C

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      D but depends who you're losing I guess.

    3. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      D

  4. JY84

    2 years, 3 months ago

    Currently planning to use my FT to remove Dennis for CR7 n I hv e funds to do dat which will give me a 10 man squad for this week.... Wld u all take a -4 though n remove Salah for Son as well to give me 11 players???? Or do u think its a stupid move since e points total for Salah in his remaining 2 matches against Lei n Chelsea cld easily exceed e points total of Son??

    1. Neevesy
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'm not keen on keeping Salah tbh at this stage. Risky, yes, but I think Son is more likely to outscore, even from -4.

    2. GoonerSteve
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Don't think so, no. I'm probably holding Salah for now.

  5. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Possible final WC team haha. Dare I ask out of 10?? Be kind my TV is poor 🙂

    Cancelo. Reguilon. Tierney

      looks great

    2. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Great team

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers matey

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Antonio + Foden can bring you down to 10, but I understand the lack of alternatives

      Very tricky GW to WC, and I think you're as close to a good long-term + GW19 team as is possible atm

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Is it possible to squeeze Bachmann in for an extra 0.1?

        I don't think he'll lose his spot when Foster returns. If he does, well, one spare FT someday

      2. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        That's for FH, but quite bad on WC

        Might need to sell as soon as GW20

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Reply fail to Arteta below

      3. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers mate. Yeah I’d get Dalot in for one of them. Other option is go Laca over Antonio with a few downgrades with Tierney to White and Dalot to Johnson (WHU)

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I wouldn't make those downgrades for Laca

          Just trust your long-term team. Antonio isn't out beyond GW19

    4. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Antonio to Lacazette and it's a 10.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Which one matey?

        1. Arteta
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          It ain't worth it then because I like Dalot a lot as an option. But what about Watkins instead of him?

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah I’ll take a look. Long term Antonio looks the best pick though?

          2. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            0.3 more for Watkins

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'm not sure why you'd keep with Antonio.

      You could punt on DCL or get Watkins?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Or leave Laca in place?

      It's alright. I probably wouldn't risk Antonio. If he's still recovering from COVID, he could miss the next 2.

  6. LiamK17

    2 years, 3 months ago

    Saka or Lacazette if you could only have 1?

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Saka

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Really? Saka get subbed 60 mins and I believe Lacazette is on penalties

        1. POGON 1948
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          He never gets subbed at 60, only for fitness reasons. He's their only left footed winger so they have to manage his fitness.

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Laca on a FH otherwise Saka

    3. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'd go for Lacazette.

  7. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Ait-Nouri to Reguilon (-4) ?

  8. huwwilliams_
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez
    Livra Cancelo James TAA* Amartey
    Bowen Foden Bilva Salah* Jota*
    Ronaldo Dennis* Richardson
    Got 2ft and 0.1 itb.
    Salah and Dennis > Son Broja a good idea?

  9. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on this FH? Only 1 city players due to XI uncertainty.

    DDG
    Cancelo Regullion Tierney
    Son Rashford Bowen Martinelli
    Kane Ronaldo Lacazette

    Debating Bowen (3-4-3) vs James (4-3-3)

  10. Bob B
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Play Gilmour vs Arsenal, keep 2.5m for next week.

    Or take a hit?

    DDG (3.9)
    Cancelo Alonso Bavies White (TAA)
    Son Bernardo Saka Gilmour (Jota)
    Ronaldo Antonio* (King)

  11. Neevesy
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Pick one to bench)

    A) Pukki (Ars H)
    B) Jesus (Leicester H)
    C) ESR (Nor A)

    Obviously B and C unlikely to start, which is annoying.

  12. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Who could be some cheap FH punts due to Covid?

    1. POGON 1948
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Martinelli / Saka. Norwich have a few cases IIRC

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Hmm I agree they’re good picks but have been for weeks.

        I’m looking regular who has Covid so space opens up. Like Balogun got arsenal in GW1

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Saka, tierny, martinelli

      Ben Davies, regulion, lucas moura

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        You’ve picked 3 players I have on FH already haha.

        Does Moura start you think?

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Yes I think he probably starts but it’s not 100%, alli or bergwein could, I probably wouldn’t go there tbh unless you want something super risky

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Southampton players might be worth a punt. Broja.

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I can’t pick saints players at it seems to jinx them into losing / missing open goals =[

  13. Cinnamon Jackson
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Zinchenko worth a punt on FH (got Cancelo / KDB)?

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Surely another City mid is better value than Zinchenko?

    2. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yep, pretty nailed

  14. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Who is your Boxing Day captain and vice?

  15. huwwilliams_
    • 9 Years

    No chance spurs' game gets called off now with only 3 hours to go, right?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      It’s been confirmed as on

      1. huwwilliams_
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        by who?

        1. Tasty Jerk
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          By our club

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      There is a chance.

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

      Almost zero chance. CPFC have confirmed it's going ahead. I think if they had any hope of calling the game off, they wouldn't have confirmed it as on.

      1. huwwilliams_
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        ok, thank you, didnt know cp confirmed it was on

  16. Better luck next year
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Currently got 9 starting men.

    Best option?

    A) Salah > Son (C) for free and field 10
    B) Salah + King > Bowen + CR7 (C) -4 and field 11

  17. DavidKent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    On a wild card, what do we think of Maupay?

    Have a playing/decent front 8, so funds are spread out.

    Sanchez, Dubravka

    TAA, James, Cancelo, Dier, Dalot

    Son, Foden, Bernardo, Martinelli, Gallagher

    Ronaldo, Maupay, Watkins

  18. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Have Newcastle or Manchester United reported any COVID-19 cases in the last week?

  19. JoeSoap
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    A. Salah>Son
    B. Salah/Dennis>Ronaldo/Bowen (-4)
    C. Salah/Dennis>Son/Watkins (-4)
    D. Dennis>Broja

    Have 11 before transfers including Livra & Luiz (villa)
    Foden/Bilva & Gallagher (rumoured to have Covid) also in starting 11

  20. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    So if u can field 11 today without even a hit saving FH is prob best way to go?( Even if u have no Spurs etc)

    1FT, 3.2 ITB, thoughts?

    DDG - Bachmann

    TAA - Cancelo - James - White - Livramento

    Salah - Jota - Gundogan - Raphinha - Allan

    Watkins - Antonio - King

    Currently got 8 players…

    Would you do a -4 (Martinelli & Ronaldo in for Salah & King) or,
    a -8 (Martinelli, Son & Ronaldo in for Salah, Gundogan & King) ?
