Whatever your opinion of international breaks, we’re in the middle of one right now! The first one of the 2024/25 season is well underway.
For all those missing the Championship, here we outline all you need to know about your globe-trotting second-tier stars!
Please note: this list does not include under-21 or under-18 players on international duty.
With the break putting a hold on much beyond wound-licking and wildcard tinkering for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, it’s a good time to take stock of the other Fantasy options available and a particularly great time to try your hand at Fantasy EFL, which IS live and we’re heading into Gameweek 6.
Moreover, the new game was only launched this summer, covering all three divisions of the English Football League (Championship, League One and League Two). It has a similar basis to FPL but plenty of differences too…
LATE STARTERS LEAGUE
We’re launching a new FFS league starting from Gameweek 5, with c. £500 worth of prizes on offer. The top manager gets £100, the second receives £75 and third-place wins £50, whilst the next four runners-up will get a free year’s subscription to FFS Premium (worth c.£65 at full price, £39 current discount – if you are already a member we’ll add a free year), and a final two will get a free month of premium (worth £6.59 at full price).
In order to qualify for the tournament you need to be a free member of FFS and sign up to the league via the code: XYNH57PM
Don’t worry if you missed the Gameweek yesterday, you can still join now and make your mark on our league – and potentially win some prizes!
