Enter FanTeam’s £100k half-season Premier League Fantasy game for free


Sponsored by FanTeam


FanTeam are staging a ‘Second Chance’ Premier League Fantasy game for the latter half of this season, starting from Gameweek 22 on January 14th.

This gives a further chance for managers to win a huge cash prize if their original season-long team has already fallen way behind.

And, remarkably, it’s completely free to play!

Even Big Sam is on board for this one…

There is a guaranteed prize pool of £100,000 in this Fantasy tournament, with £20,000 going to the winner and money for anyone finishing in the top 4,000.

WHAT ARE THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES TO FPL?

Here’s the great news: anyone with any sort of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) experience should be able to pick up FanTeam’s game without issue. The rules, scoring and prices are very similar, shown in detail below.

It’s essentially FPL but with huge cash prizes. Given that paid entry mini-leagues are now strongly discouraged by the Premier League, the FanTeam game offers Fantasy managers a legitimate opportunity to make money from their management expertise.

Unlike the main FanTeam game, this involves building a team of 11 players rather than a squad of 15. Therefore the 100.0m budget is now down to 80.0m. There must be at least one goalkeeper, three defenders, two midfielders and one forward.

A maximum of three players from a single Premier League team can be selected.

One free transfer is allowed each Gameweek, with every additional transfer costing minus four points. FanTeam managers have one Wildcard to use, allowing unlimited free transfers during its week of activation.

Additionally, a captain and vice-captain has to be nominated every week; the player handed the armband will score double points.

All sound very familiar? That’s because the two games are largely the same – although there are a handful of differences to watch out for.

KEY RULES DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FANTEAM AND FPL

  • Player prices can rise and fall based on form and in-game transfer movement but, unlike in FPL, a player’s ‘sell price’ is the same as their ‘purchase price’.
  • Other than the Wildcard, there aren’t any chips in FanTeam.
  • There is no limit to how many free transfers you can save up, unlike FPL allowing no more than two.
  • The ‘Safety Net’ feature makes up for the lack of substitutes. If your player doesn’t start a match, he’ll automatically be replaced by the next-priced (descending) starter in that team’s position who did. For example, if midfielder Mohamed Salah was rested, he would be switched for a cheaper Liverpool midfielder who played, like Sadio Mane.

HOW DO PLAYERS SCORE POINTS?

Seasoned FPL managers should have no problem in adjusting to FanTeam and running a squad with its familiar scoring system, shown above.

KEY SCORING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FANTEAM AND FPL

  • There is no Bonus Points System, which is replaced by plus/minus points (+0.3/-0.3) if a team is winning/losing during the period a player is on the pitch.
  • Goalkeepers get 0.5 points for every save made, unlike the one point awarded in FPL for increments of three stops.
  • Committing a foul that leads to a free-kick goal or converted penalty is penalised by minus two points.
  • Midfielders and forwards get an extra point for completing the full match.
  • Shots on target that don’t end up as goals are rewarded (+0.4 for midfielders and forwards, +0.6 for defenders)

      Maddy if cleared at 2.30pm today.

      Maddison if he is fit, maybe a defender too.
      Amartey 3.8 isn't too bad for a week and to then sit as your last sub if you don't need him.

        Fingers crossed for Maddy, and probably Tielmans or Lookman if he doesn't make it. Forget about the defence, and especially Armartey, as he's off to AFCON soon.

    Can we have a new article please! Hot topics should be avoided with this subject matter relating to the article.

      The chances of that happening are nigh on zero I’d say.

      Can we have some more betting site adverts as we don’t seem to be getting enough rammed down our throats?

        Does these totals include the upcoming blanks for Arsenal, Chelsea etc...?

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Yes, why dont you read the article?

          1. thegaffer82
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Why do you have to be so abrasive all the time?

            I don't really care. I have thick skin... but you clearly rub a lot of people up the wrong way.
            Just remember people have lives outside of here. They can't always read every article or go back pages looking for answers.
            If you don't want to answer, then don't. Let the nice people help 🙂

            1. Ginkapo FPL
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              In this instance everyone is looking for a short cut, and there isnt one. Live your life, read the article, makes no odds to me.

              Choose to waste time searching for a quick answer instead? Well thats just a waste of everyones time.

              1. Ginkapo FPL
                • 12 Years

                So in summary, are the nice people actually helping or just being nice?

              2. thegaffer82

                2 years, 2 months ago

                Lol. If typing yes/no is such a waste of your precious time then just ignore it.
                You can’t tell people what they should be doing. It’s a ‘free to use for all’ message board about FPL. I’ll ask what I want, when I want thanks very much.

                1. Ginkapo FPL
                  • 12 Years

                  And I will continue to give actually helpful answers

                We're all wasting our time just by even playing this game mate 🙂

                  No, those posting about wasting their time playing this game are clearly wasting more time!

                  Myself included.

                    I'm wasting my team reading posts about other people wasting their time playing this game.

                    What a waster

                  Indeed, so Gaffers post makes lttle sense on many levels. I think he just wanted to shout at someone and I dont mind it being me

                  1. thegaffer82

                    Poor Ginkapo.
                    Boo boo.

                    Look at the upticks to my post calling you abrasive and re-evaluate how you speak to people would be my advice.

                    Clearly there’s others who find you annoying.
                    That’s on you pal.

            Listen bro. If you don’t have something nice or beneficial to say or add just keep quiet please. He’s right, you’re quite often abrasive. If you don’t want to answer a ques Just don’t. Leave it to someone else.

              He's posted some of the most helpful info today.

              Is this a be nice forum?

              Frank is fine sometimes.

                2 years, 2 months ago

                His helpful posts are much appreciated, however, think you’re understanding of the word “Frank” is a bit twisted.

              2. thegaffer82

                2 years, 2 months ago

                Ginkapo has a fan boy 🙂

                He is helpful at times for sure… but there’s just no need to be a d**k with people and try to take the position of arbiter of what people can and can’t ask on the boards.
                The best thing to do is ignore what doesn’t interest you, and respond to what you want to respond to.
                I’ve seen him posting stuff like -
                “That was on the last page, why don’t you check before asking”

                That’s d**kish talk in my eyes. Just because he lives on these boards, doesn’t mean others should.
                And the funny thing is, look at how many people are happy and willing to help others who are out of the loop!

      Do it

        2 years, 2 months ago

        This x1000

        I may just leave Ronnie anyway unless he's absolutely dire or gets injured.
        Need to sort out R. James, Bilva, Alonso and others as well as perhaps bring in 1 or 2 DGW21ers.
        CR7 > Kane seems very luxury

    3. Stormbringer22

      Don't like it personally

        Watch how United play. That will change your mind.

  6. tissae
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Considering you have no other defenders from those teams, which GK would you get?

    A) De Gea
    B) Sa
    C) Sanchez

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A. But rumours he may be out with Covid

    2. Respect My Authoritah

      Sa

    Fpl managers on Facebook messaging madison and asking him if he’s fit is pretty funny

    1. tjostolv
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      haha
      any response?

  8. Can’t beat em so&hell…
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    A) Vardy + Antonio
    B) Ronnie + Dennis

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

      Neither are ideal. Is vardy fit? Dennis off to afcon?
      Maybe A

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Dennis off to Afcon soon. Vardy not the best pick atm. Still, leaning more towards A

  9. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I have a dilemma.. My frontline is CR7, Watkins and King. Pretty much perfect, all things considered. I want Broja for NEW and he looks very explosive. Do I get him in for one of the above or just leave it?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah sell Ronaldo

      1. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Despite being on pens, DGWs, nailed, fixtures etc.?

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

        2. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Are any fixtures good for Man United, thats like getting Pukki for good fixtures

            • 12 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            As a United fan, no. We've looked crap.

            Fred scored a lucky screamer vs Palace. Scored a penalty vs Norwich and then I switched off the Newcastle game at HT but from what I read it was a scrappy Cavani finish.

            I chucked Ronaldo last week for Kane.

    2. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Broja pretty explosive??

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

      I'd leave, Broja minutes still uncertain
      I got rid of King to field 11 during his blank but if I could've I would have kept him

      1. tjostolv
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        does King have a blank?

        1. RamaJama

    4. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'm very happy to own him - especially considering he has Newcastle next, is rested and has a chance for a tasty looking DGW21 as well.
      I think the problem with him is that he'll have to share some minutes with Long, Armstrong & Adams. But he's proven recently that he's easily their best striker, so hoping he won't miss too many games.
      I'd stick with your guys *for now*

    5. Stormbringer22

    6. Will Kane

      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'm quite happy to have Broja but wouldn't bring him in for any of your existing strikers as things stand. Waiting for news as to whether the game against Newcastle goes ahead anyway so let's see....

      1. Will Kane

        That's what I'm leaning towards. He could do well, but more expensive. To be honest I might take another hit to get rid of both

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I wouldn't be in a rush to sell ESR. Hate the guy as a non-owner and his jammy goals off the bench haha. Think it's OK to hold him personally.

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

            Hmm interesting. It's just the fixtures aren't great, with no doubles. But he's cheap I guess, so maybe not worth the hit. Cheers

          2. FantasyClub
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            He’s a sell. Two blanks coming up. Tough fixtures next few GW’s and rotation risk atm.

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

        Gundog has had a rest, if you're on Man City players holding firm can be the best bet. So much points potential its tricks to chase it around.

        Of course both Bowen and ESR are assisting and scoring too.

        If ESR returns were the same and he was starting games I bet most would be content to hold him.

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

          Yeah, I just think I'd prefer to get off city totally

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

      I’ve got Bilva and ESR decision and likely selling Bilva as I’m tempted by Laporte as James replacement

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

        Hmm I was trying to decide between laporte or Davies.
        Davies allows me to do dennis to Antonio or Watkins though so tough choice.

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

          I’d that’s the case Davies is good option for Antonio/Watkins

          Funny enough i own all of Antonio Watkins and Dennis
          Might move Livra or White to Bavies myself

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

            Team sounds well set up. Very tempted to wc to get that front 3, and sort out other issues

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

              Just a long time to navigate a wildcard for rest of season
              I’ll be using FH22

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

                Yup, plus doesn't look like the fixtures will be out

  11. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

    Good morning everyone!! If you were using the wildcard this what what players are the priority we think!?!

    1. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Son Foden Cancelo Maddison Bowen

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Have son and Cancelo, can get to Maddison and Bowen easily this week if Maddison fit, cheers mate!! Nice to hear other thoughts!!

    2. demob
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Firmino, wood, and pukki up top
      Midfield - bruno /KDB/MBUEMO/sancho and Torres
      Defenders load up on Watford and Burnley for the DGW
      Keepers Kepa and Leno because Ramsdale is off to Afcon

      U R welcome

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Haha brilliant mate!!! Haha

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Perhaps we don't need so many dgw players after all 😉

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

      Trent Jota Watkins in addition to above reply

      Wait for Maddison news

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Have TAA and Jota, Watkins definitely a consideration too, have Antonio still in that slot of my team tho

    4. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      What’s your thinking on WC as your team sounds well set already?

      I was looking more to a FH or just bring in a couple of nailed DGW21 players to add to the 3-4 I already likely have

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Sounds like a good plan mate!! Really not sure regarding my team mate leaving options open, probably leaning just taking a few hits this next week or two, already used my first FH so want to save the second one for aslong as I can, I used the Sri in WC early last year and was in a slightly worse position that I am now and ended up at 45k, so have that in the back of my mind too!!

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          *second WC

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      2 playing keepers
      TAA, Cancelo
      Son, Jota, Bowen

      Would be my only essentials

      Probably chuck in Spurs defender, Maddison (if fit) and Watkins as well.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers mate!! Only one of don’t have from those players is Bowen, can get him in with a Spurs defender this week, so seems I’m good to go at the moment….. famous last words!! Haha

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Have Ramsdale and Sanchez

  12. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    So in auction league monthly transfers, I've gone fixture and availability chasing.
    - Guita to Pickford (who I sold in disgust after the Watford game).
    - Havertz to Lookman.
    I target the next 3 games for Lookman (January), then can move him. Next 6 games plus maybe some rearranged games for Pickford.
    What do you think?

  13. HEY JUDE
    • 3 Years

    Confirm DGW 21?

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Not yet

    2. Root
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      1 minute after GW21 deadline.

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Bonus fixtures not confirmed for next week

      Clubs selling tickets:
      Watford vs Palace
      Villa vs Burnley

      Manager leaking it:
      Southampton vs Brentford

      Hard to see not happening:
      Everton vs Leicester

      Possible but not likely:
      Norwich vs West Ham

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Clubs selling Tickets?

        Don't those tickets have the cute EPL logo on them? Surely that would be sanctioned by the EPL/FA?

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Started yesterday, and you would think so

          1. Cruyff's Eleven
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Hmm, OK. I have King, need to see Ronaldo once more before swapping for Watkins, what else.... Oh, waiting for the news on Gallagher before contemplating JWP who by the way, might not play against Newcastle as they have not enough players..

            So much easier now.

            1. Ginkapo FPL
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Yeah it doesnt seem that exciting a dgw

              1. It’s A Joke
                • 13 Years
                2 years, 2 months ago

                Agree. Bunch of crap teams with crap players who will probably get 4 points over the DGW if lucky.

                1. Cruyff's Eleven
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 5 Years
                  2 years, 2 months ago

                  Still better than 2, innit

                  1. It’s A Joke
                    • 13 Years
                    2 years, 2 months ago

                    Dunno. If they you are replacing those that usually get more than 2 like Mount, Bowen etc than doubt it.

                    1. Cruyff's Eleven
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 5 Years
                      2 years, 2 months ago

                      I never said that. I just said that 4 points is better than 2.

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

                      It also works if you are using FH into gw22 and prepared to play a WC afterwards.

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

        This is the most helpful summary.

        As much as Ben C can work out the logic of when games can be played, the signals on tickets and from the manager indicates that clubs have been told privately to make game day preparations.

        Should plan on this basis for double gw21.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Oddly I've posted this quite a few times and it gets ignored so you are well ahead of the curve in actually reading it

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

            First time i saw it.

            So thanks.

            Considering the circumstances you'd have thought it merited a green box, hot topic.

    4. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Don't kid yourself, it'll be announced 12 minutes past deadline o'clock on Saturday.

    5. demob
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It's actually looking like a QGW with the new Watford news yes the very first QUAD GAMEWEEK

      Get your butt ready, vroom vroom

      1. It’s A Joke
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Who has a quad?

      2. Sharkytect
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        What!?

  14. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Lloris
    TAA, Dias, Cancelo, James, Cash
    Salah, Jota, Foden, Bowen, Martinelli
    Watkins, Antonio, Broja

    A. James to Lowton/Coady — or even Amartey to sit as fodder later
    B. Salah and Foden to Maddison and KDB (- 4)

    1. demob
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A - Lowton

      Don't like KDB move but yeah maddison if he isn't injured. I have him but will swap for tielemans if he is

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I appreciate it, sir, thank you very much indeed

    2. demob
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Keep foden over kdb i reckon

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

      Wouldn’t get rid of Foden. Just Salah to Maddison? Probably prioritise A though, with Lowton

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Thank you! Means a lot!

    4. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Foden > KDB = Out of the frying pan, into the fire

  15. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hoping we get the DGW announcements sooner rather than later.

    I really want to hold on to my second wildcard but if there are back to back bumper DGWs and your teams aren’t that well prepared for them, anyone considering any early wildcard?

    Sorry if this has been asked before - been in and out on here.

    Cheers

    1. Claudio555
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I’m also considering an early second wc. However might be disappointed if more games are postponed

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

        Yeah, that’s the worry

    2. demob
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      They oft release them just after or on the deadline. Plan accordingly etc

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

        Also a concern. Will try to muddle through!

  16. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Want some more opinions on this, hurting my brain.. Who's more of a priority to get in for the next GW? (Providing Maddy is fit) going to be part of a -4 with shifting James out, and Bilva/ESR out for one of the below.

    1. Bowen
    2. Maddison

    1. demob
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I got maddison in for Liverpool but the injury looked fairly real enough. Why would they risk him against Norwich

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Probably Maddison. Palace away isn't the best fixture for an attacker.

  17. merin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    What issues do you see here that needs sorting?
    James and Dennis, maybe?

    Ramsdale Foster
    TAA Cancelo James Davies Livramento
    Son Jota Gundogan Bowen DLuiz
    Ronaldo Watkins Dennis

    2 FT, 2.9 ITB

    1. demob
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Your team is good. I guess replace James first

      Dennis will play this week won't he

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

        Yeah, Dennis will play

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, James first

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

        Cheers!

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

      James for Regulion depending on injury..? People are talking about Castagne and Thomas but Leicester won't play Liverpool every week

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

        Maybe a bit much with double Spurs def? Any other good options?

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Lamptey or Targett/Cash/Mings look decent to me

      2. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Not convinced Regs is nailed. Reckon Davies, Doherty and Sess (when fit) take enough minutes from him to make him a no-go.

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Tot no dgw 21,right?

  18. Totti
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    chances for my captain ronaldo being rested today 🙂 ??
    as I know my luck

    1. Root
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      2%

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Why even ask, that's just ridiculous.... Jinx merchant

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        LoL
        but for the struggling I'm facing this season, I can't exclude anything now 🙂

  19. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Will we find out if Dennis is going to AFCON or not before the deadline?

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Thought he was selected to go?

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        The Athletic saying that Watford trying to stop him going as they believe they weren’t notified in time
        “The email arrived late,” said Ranieri. “They have a time when they need to send a pre-call; if they don’t send it, we can choose.”
        Guess he’ll still go as presumably he doesn’t want to miss representing his national team while he’s got the chance…

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Selected is going. If not, he certainly won't play for Watford...

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Watford cannot stop a player playing for his country and main International tournament in Africa

    4. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes - he is

    5. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I think he goes Ranieri will tell us more about it tomorrow in press conference

    6. Totti
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      he's going no matter what 🙂
      what's ranieri saying is ridiculous
      no one can prevent player from joining his national team

      1. space mercenary
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        May use the late notification as a bargaining chip and keep him a bit longer though.

  20. Respect My Authoritah
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Which of these defenders would you prefer to bring in this week?

    A) Targett
    B) Lamptey
    C) Davies

    Leaning towards Targett

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      ACB in that order

    2. FPL_ UP_Down
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A

      I’ve done it earlier James to Targett.
      Some cash ITB

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

      Maybe Cash instead of Targett.

  21. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Maybe DDG is being given a rest?
    Even cancelo wasn’t spotted in training right?
    But yeah tough times,Covid is definitely not out of the question.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      De Gea won't get rested - he'll play unless unavailable for selection

    Whats to do about Dennis?

    I wanted to shift him to Watkins if the dgwk for Villa is announced. Already have King, but i hear he may not leave for afcon?

    1. Cruyff's Eleven

      See above, he's going.

    Broja or Watkins on the gamble that there is a DGW? Would be for a -4.

      • 8 Years

      why not wait until the deadline ?

        I am, just if we don't get the DGW before the deadline passes.

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Watkins is a far better option imo

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Watkins. New-Sou could be out because of COVID.

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'd wager 100 points he won't

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      If he stays injury free then I can see it happening

    3. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Nah, already half way through the season, he's not even at 70 points yet. 150 if you're lucky.

      Has to copy his last four games tally if he shall do that, and with league decided in say match-april Pep is gonna save him for CL.

        Good point on wrapping up the league early and prioritising UCL

    Sancho Rashford

    Am I missing something, but on the FanTeam site, the £100,000 second chance season game is £10.00 to play, not free?

      Hi all, any idea why Fanteam does not allow player's from Ireland to play, or are they planning to change that ? Many thanks

        who to get instead of james?
        A) cash
        B) emerson royal
        C) other suggestion

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

          Like cash but waiting for doubles to be announced

        2. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Are you worried about Cash getting 5th yellow in first of any double and missing second- With postponed games Villa 2 games to play before reaching threshold when yellow cards increase to 10?

          1. Totti
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            oops 🙂
            you have a point mate 🙂
            thanks for the clarification so will be targett then 🙂

          I’m bringing in Cucurella for James

          Great player & Brighton have nice fixtures & DGWs as well.

          More points than Cash & way ahead of Royal

          1. Totti
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            but he's yellow card magnet 🙂

            1. Fish up a tree
              • 2 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Eh, 2 bookings all season!

              Missed first 3 GWs as well otherwise would be even higher in the defender rankings

        4. Shark Team

          Robbo after gw21

      4. AD2110
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        What to do with the team? 1.5 ITB

        A) Alonso —> Reguilon
        B) Foden —> Maddison
        C) Salah + Davis —> Maddison + Kane (-4)

        DDG, 4.0
        TAA. Cancelo, Alonso, White, Livra
        Salah, Son, Foden, Bowen, Jota
        Antonio, King, Davis

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          A or C. Need to lose Alonso to get a better 3rd def. Not a fan of losing Foden. Also like option C

      5. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Guess better to get Leicester defender like Thomas over a MU defender?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          LEI defensively still poor. Thomas at 4.3 might be an ok pick just to cover the extra fixtures

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks I was after a defender with a good GW21 game as FHing GW22 so Leicester & mU best cleansheet odds

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              For 1GW, probably lean towards LEI keeping a CS H vs Norwich over United H vs WOL. Also not a bad idea to go with the bookies CS odds either.

              1. Stranger Mings
                • 3 Years
                2 years, 2 months ago

                Ok cheers probably Thomas then or even amartey if secure
