FPL introduces Second Chance league

To celebrate the festive resumption that ends Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) six-week World Cup break, the game has announced a new competition that offers more prizes.

All managers will automatically be added to the Second Chance league from Gameweek 17 and start there on zero points, without affecting the ongoing season-long numbers.

It means that notorious slow starters and late bloomers have a genuine shot at winning prizes, without being hampered by earlier events.

EXTRA PRIZES

As with the season-long global league, Second Chance will recognise the top five managers. Rewards include hospitality tickets and accommodation to a 2023/24 Premier League match, a Bluetooth speaker, an FPL goody bag and much more.

Additionally, exclusive to Second Chance, whoever achieves the best individual Gameweek score will have the choice of a games console or tablet computer.

That score must be achieved without using a chip, occurring between Gameweeks 17 and 38.

START NEW MINI-LEAGUES

Of course, if you like the idea of Second Chance, just convince your mini-league rivals to do similar and create another one that begins from zero. There’s a dropdown menu that allows scoring to begin from whenever you like.

So whether an FPL manager is creating a new team or using unlimited free transfers, Gameweek 17 allows us to both continue the long game and start afresh with a new one.

        Hi RL

        Not sure if I understand the rules about Second Chance entirely. It suggests that if you use any chip between weeks 17 & 38 this will disqualify you from winning a prize? Or have I not read it properly? We will all be using at least one chip during those weeks surely?

        What is your understanding?

          Hi Charlie,
          I read it that the top five managers in the Second Chance League win prizes whether they have used chips or not, but that there is an additional prize for the top team that hasn't used any chips between Gameweeks 17 and 38.

            Correction: The additional prize is for the single highest individual Gameweek score between Gameweeks 17 and 38.without using a chip that Gameweek.

    I had an atrocious first two weeks and was bottom of like 30 people in my league, it's part of the reason why I signed up here for tips. Clawed my way back up to midtable in my work league, so it'll be interesting to see how I do with this.

    Noppert, Guerreiro, Militao are the blanks.

    Any ideas here? I don't want to spend, but is it maybe better to upgrade the defense and leave the blanks in the midfield (I'm not crazy about the existing additions)?

        It's a bit odd, but you get points for winning the match in normal time, then an additional point is handed out to whoever wins the shootout.

                  Yep good to play it safe.

                  What's the breed? I have male and female British Shorthair 😉

                    They're all moggies. The oldest looks a little like a Norwegian Forest Cat, the middle like a Siberian and the youngest like a really skinny Maine Coon, but there's not an ounce of pure blood in any of them. Doesn't make them any less awesome, though 🙂

                    A British cat? That's not a thing.

            I've gone for Juranovic (C). 5x Croatia defence, no Argentina. Told you it was going to get punty

          Currently leaning towards three premiums with no premium defender. What do you think?

            Good team. I think most of us will go with three premiums.

          C) Both

          Do not have enough transfers (have 5Ft and settled only 4 Livakovic, Otamendi, Fernandes E. and Mbappe)
