Join the FanTeam fun: EPL Unlimited
At FanTeam, EPL Unlimited offers a £30K prize pool with a £3 entry fee. This is Fantasy unchained – build your squad without worrying about player pricing. It’s the perfect way to flex your football muscles and see how you fare against the best in the game.
Late entries won’t suffer
EPL Unlimited accepts entries until the Gameweek 2 deadline and this could be seen as a clever tactic.
Armed with a weekend of competitive information and more time for real-life transfers to take place, you’d only be slightly behind the rest.
That’s because – as shown in the above graphic – new squads will begin on 75 points, calculated as being 95% of the average Gameweek 1 score.

Scout’s Gameweek 1 review
Although it’d be 9.2 points behind our Scout team, ranking just inside the top 30%, it’s quite a bit behind the 103.4 leader but with plenty of time to make up ground.
However, having no budget brings a new issue when it comes to catching up with those above. Five assets – Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Bukayo Saka – are owned by over 67% of managers.
In fact, the Scout team owns all eight individuals that exceed 50%.
The trick will be to identify differentials throughout the season and know when they should replace such safe, trusted premiums.
Back to Gameweek 1, all except Ollie Watkins and Son Heung-min brought in at least six points, as we benefitted from the round’s two highest-scoring players. Captaining Isak over Salah didn’t work out but the decision to sideline Cole Palmer turned out to be correct.
Yet there’s already a benching headache for next weekend, explaining why this transfer will be rolled over. Palmer needs to start because he’s facing Wolverhampton Wanderers but it’d probably mean Watkins makes way. The Aston Villa forward is against a strong Arsenal defence but one that lost both of last season’s meetings.
The armband will go on Haaland at home to Ipswich Town, in the hope that both he and Josko Gvardiol can succeed against a side that was participating in League One just 16 months ago.

Everyone seems very precious about certain content creators. WTF cares would be my view.
»Chelsea probably one of the best examples of a 'modern' team, having one of youngest average ages. Top quality coach coaching and facilitation. Palmer takes all our penalties when on the pitch.
»Plan worked, the rank reference should make it obvious.
»Sanchez and Pedro, like "what is happening!" They even celebrated with Trump lmao.
»I literally have no idea who you are replying to now. I can't follow the chain of comments up to the source like before.
