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.

However, there is also £1,000 in prize money available just for Fantasy Football Scout users! The prize breakdown is as follows:

  • 1st: £400
  • 2nd: £200
  • 3rd: £100
  • 4th: £50
  • 5th: £30
  • 6th-10th: £20
  • 11th-15th: £10
  • 16th-20th: £5

There is also £50 in prize money for the FFScout managers who top-score in each of the first two Gameweeks.

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)

    Surely Arsenal must know already that they haven't got enough players - why don't they just apply for a postponement now and put us out of the misery of waiting?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe they have applied and waiting for approval.

    2. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Isn't it Spurs that are struggling to get enough? But yeah they should be able to let us know

      1. beric
        • 12 Years

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

  3. KEN YA DIG IT

    2 years, 2 months ago

    Pep Guardiola has confirmed #ManCity have new Covid-19 cases within the first-team squad from those that were confirmed before Swindon.

  4. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I'm going to captain De Gea. What could possibly go wrong.

    1. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Maguire is fit,thats all

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

      and McTom / Shaw are suspended so AWB and Telles likely starters

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

      He might not get a clean sheet but get plenty of save points so why not.

  5. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hi....who is the better son replacement please?

    A.....mount - double this week but then several blanks

    B....raphinha - single this week but longer term option with potential doubles upcoming

    Thanks

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

      Im leaning towards Mount...its the DGW...

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

      Thinking Mount because I'm shifting to Salah soon anyway so crap upcoming fixtures less of a concern

  6. JonSnow
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    2FT - Ronaldo, kane or king
    Already have Moura and Dennis, really tempted by double watford with those fixtures but safe bet would be to cover the utd games too.

    1. King Carlos
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Has to be Ron

  7. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Would you captain Ronaldo?

    Would you do a -4 for Broja to Dennis or just play Broja?

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes to captain ronaldo

      would also take make that move for Dennis as a great fixture next week and a good long term pick

    2. Fuddled FC
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      if Watford has 2 dgw I am taking the hit...not sure when we will find this out

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Don’t think we’ll know before gameweek starts, that’s the issue

  8. Pukkipartyy
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Who to bring in for Son too free up funds for CR7.

    A) Mount
    B) Raphinha
    C) Greenwood

    And is DDG worth to get for -4?
    (I have Guaita)

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

    I think I'm just staying clear of this match and pretending Spurs don't have a double

    https://twitter.com/TikiTakaConnor/status/1481938414731735043

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Saka also apparently not 100% according to Arteta. Not sure if injury or fatigue.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Or illness..?

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

        got a muscle injury at the end of pool match

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Doesn't Patino count?

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

    down to this decision if can help please a) son/ESr to mount & play benteke or b) son & Benteke to mount & Ron -4?

  11. Sif
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Son > Moura + Antonio > Ronaldo (-4) ?

    Sanchez
    TAA, Cancelo, Coufal
    Jota, Grey, SON, Bowen
    Kane, Antonio, Dennis

    Steel, Ramsey, Livra, White

    Bench is weak. Son has to go, Bowen covers Antonio. Tbh more about having fun at this stage so DGW players the most fun.

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

    Son to who? £11.1m to spend

    DDG
    Cancelo - lampety - TAA
    Bowen - Bernardo - son** - Jota
    Ronaldo - Antonio - Broja

    1. Sif
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Short term fun pick is a DGW like Moura. Long term a City mid will look great after this week.

  13. thepancakeman123
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    On a free hit would you bring in Trossard or MacAllister?

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

      tross

  14. Sterling Archer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    im thinking either captain Antonio - he must be due a haul!
    or sell for ronaldo for a hit and captain!

    Im pretty sure whatever i do will go wrong! 🙂

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I think an Antonio captain blank will do more damage to your rank than should you captain Ronaldo and he blanks. But you’re right it really does feel like Antonio is due a haul

  15. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is there any indication about who’ll return sooner out of Son and Salah? Or is it anyone’s guess with how far Egypt progress and how bad Son injury is

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty much guesswork atm. But Egypt plays tonight I think.

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

      Probably both GW24 unless Egypt reach final

  16. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    DDG
    Alonso TAA Cancelo
    Maddison Jota Bowen Gray
    Ronaldo King Antonio

    Foster Bilva Dawson Livramento

    0FT, 3.8itb

    What to do here please? Anything worth a hit?

  17. winchester
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    have 1ft and 5.6m itb. what move should be done here lads?

    ddg
    taa - cancelo - reguilon
    bernardo - jota - bowen - son*
    antonio - watkins - dennis

    (foster - saka - keane - livra)

    a) livra -> cucurella/lamptey
    b) son -> bruno/kdb
    c) watkins or antonio -> ronaldo/kane
    d) something else?

  18. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Play Bernardo or Martinelli?

  19. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Need that Spurs DGW erased and can comfortably enjoy this GW 😉

  20. The Mantis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Should I bother making any changes i.e. take Son out? or roll FT

    Sanchez (Steele)
    Coufal / Cancelo / TAA (Tierney / Livra)
    Bowen / Silva / Jota / Gray (Son*)
    Dennis / Antonio / Ronaldo

    I could do:
    A) Son to KDB
    B) Son & Antonio to Mount & Kane -4
    C) Something else...

    Thanks

  21. Cheeky Onion
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Was going to bring in Jota for Son, but worried Liverpool's attacking style will be hindered too much by the absence of Mane and Salah. My ML leader also has him, so would be more of a defensive transfer.

    Thoughts?

    1. King Carlos
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Id get him

  22. Mata of opinion
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth using a FH chip for a -12?
    Son+Watkins+Cancelo+Guita>Maddison+Kane+Reguilon+DDG

    Will give me
    Ddg
    Alonso TTA Reguilon
    Maddison Mount Jota Bowen
    Kane Dennis Ronaldo (C)
    Steer Ramsey White Williams

  23. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Exactly - Arsenal presser soon - lets hope for some clarification/confirmation

  24. Pringle
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Was set on Bruno in for Son but then Ronaldo seem fine. Maddison with only one game now. Might just play Coady and save transfer so Salah can come in without a hit. Sounds sensible or too passive?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Passive is sensible.

      1. Pringle
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yes. But what about too passive?

  25. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Thanking the guys who commented on my previous post, the choice has come down to this.

    A: Moura
    B: Trossard

    1. outernational
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      B because he is more likely to have two games.

  26. FantasyHero
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Any news on Sancho? Is he fit? Did he train?

    1. The Reptile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Doesn't matter he's useless either way

  27. Manumana
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Play Bernado or Martinelli

    1. King Carlos
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Other options? Maybe Martinelli...?

  28. Firmino
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Best 5.6 mid to bring in with Ronaldo?

    1. King Carlos
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Everton play Norwich

  29. Kabayan
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    A. Kane © + Bruno
    Or
    B. Ronaldo © + Moura

  30. Release The Ox
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Need to bench one from this lot

    DDG
    Alonso Trent Cancelo
    Bowen Jota Bruno(c) Bernardo Gray
    Dennis Antonio Toney

    Between Bernardo, Toney and Gray

    1. Eric Banternaaa
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Is it a new chip to get 12 players?
