Eliteserien Fantasy

Eliteserien Fantasy has launched for 2019 season

We are excited to announce that our coverage of Eliteserien Fantasy is back for another season.

This is the third year that the developers of Fantasy Premier League have run the game, which is based on Norway’s top flight.

Their 2019 campaign is now a few weeks away from kick-off and there some compelling chips to excite those of us too familiar with what FPL has to offer.

So we’re here to introduce you to the game and bring you the basics…

WHAT IS FANTASY ELITESERIEN?

As mentioned above, Eliteserien Fantasy features the top division of Norwegian football.

The concept and rules of the game are the same as FPL, which makes it huge accessible for Fantasy managers looking for similar games to immerse themselves into.

The only differences between Eliteserien and the UK version are the chips and bonus points are decided by a ‘man in the stand’ rather than statistics-based formula we are used to.

The season runs from the final weekend of March right up until the first week of December, which will make for a nice summer distraction for anyone starved of football between the 2018/19 and 2019/20 Premier League campaigns.

Roughly one-third of the season takes place during the Premier League break so why not join us and soften that ‘no FPL’ summer blow?

How do the Chips Work?

Last season, the ‘Park the Bus’ chip, which doubled your points for all five defenders, proved to be hugely overpowered last season and has been replaced for the 2019 campaign.

In comes the ‘Rich Uncle’, which is effectively a Free Hit with considerably fewer restriction.

Here’s a basic description of what all the chips are:

Spissrush (Attack! Attack!) – All forwards get double points.

To Kapteiner (Two Captains) – Both your captain and vice-captain score double points. 

Rik Onkel (Rich Uncle) – Make unlimited free transfers with an unlimited budget for a single round. At the next deadline, your squad returns to how it was at the start of the round.

Double Gameweek Focus

If you’ve not had enough exposure to Double Gameweek strategies, the Eliteserien throws one up very early on.

Due to some of the Eliteserien’s teams entering the Europa League qualification at a very early stage, fixtures from Gameweek 15 have been moved to Gameweek 2.

That means the early focus at the start of the season will very much be on Double Gameweek and how to navigate straight out of the traps.

With the early indication being that this might well be the only Double Gameweek of the season, using a chip at the opening stage looks like an important strategy, making the first few weeks even more exciting.

How do I sign up?

Simply head to the English version of the Eliteserien website and click ‘Sign Up’.

You can access the registration form by CLICKING HERE.

How do I find Eliteserien content this season?

Anyone looking to find Eliteserien content on Fantasy Football Scout this season will be able to do so using the Eliteserien Category.

All content will be collected HERE, so make sure you bookmark this page.

We will have more in-depth content previewing the 2019 season later this week and in the build-up to kick-off at the end of the month.

    Doherty Jim to Azpi Wilson -8 would give me:

    Fab
    TAA/Pereira/Azpi*
    Salah/Mane/Hazard/Brooks
    Barnes/Wilson*/Vardy

    Hart/Pogba/Bednarek/Shaw

    Go for it? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    1. Shineonme
      • 7 Years

      I have similar team but I have Fraser instead of Brooks and Rondon instead of Barnes

    2. Shineonme
      • 7 Years

      I also have pogba on the bench

      Think I'll give it a go. Any tips? Presume it's more monopolised than EPL with fewer good teams?

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Set your first draft up initially based upon highly owned player ๐Ÿ™‚

        1. SHOOTER MCGINN
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Good plan, cheers

      2. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Brann, Rosenberg and Molde are the best three teams, but look out for valarenga, and Kristiansand as both (along with brann and molde) have an early dgw, and are cheaper

        1. SHOOTER MCGINN
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers!

    The rate of the price rises at the moment is rediculous.

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years

      Smaller pool of players next gw

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          No, it’s “Reddit Kills”.

    4. Dele
      • 7 Years

      trying to hold on until end of the week. Already lost a potential 0.4 saving last night from rises. Brutal.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        How do you lose a saving you never had ? ๐Ÿ™‚

    5. joeydelucchi

      agreed...made .4m overnight, TV rising fast on haz, vardy, wilson, fraser,

  6. Norman Conquest
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    which chip would be best to use for the double spissrush or two captains

    1. Niemi
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Rich uncle for me, but attack attack could be a decent shout as well.

      1. Norman Conquest
        • 10 Years

  8. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Lads, I could really use some help here.

    Here's my team, with 2 ft but no wildcard left:

    Fabianski / Guaita
    Robertson / TAA / Pereira / Doherty / Duffy
    Salah / Son / Pogba / Fraser / Camarasa
    Agüero / Rashford / Jimenez

    How would you approach the upcoming blank GW?

    1. clodhopper
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Hits

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      From behind the sofa ๐Ÿ˜‰

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

      I'd get 2 Chelsea player's with 2 FT.
      Play in 31/33 & might get dgw 32

    4. ritzyd
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I would Free Hit 31

  9. Dele
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Rik Onkel (Rich Uncle) what a chip this would be!

    1. fenixri
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      This season it was introduced in CL fantasy. It was brutal in group gw 2-3 when all big teams played small teams and needed early points to focus on domestic leagues

  10. BraxterStockman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Best defender for 4,5 or less going forward? Thanks!

  11. Solly The Seagull
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Kun+Pogba to Vardy+Hazard for -4?

    1. Dele
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No brainer

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    3. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Perfect

  12. Grounderz
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Any West Ham fans about? Is Anderson expected to be rested/ benched next GW?

    1. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No.

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Not seen on here but heard on Sky he got small knock. Just hold, almost guaranteed to troll the sellers

  13. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I'm always wary of that one Rich Uncle.

    Way too many skeletons in his closet.

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Lucky you have one. I'm my family it's me and I'm scraping....

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Skeletons from the closet too

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

      Is that a VERY niche Simpsons reference?

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

    Which defender for final spot with -4 transfer? (FH 32 and WC 34.)

    Bednarek to

    A Pereira
    B Rice
    C Azpilicueta
    D Any other suggested option- budget not a concern ( Not Bournemouth or Liverpool)

    Boruc
    TAA Van Dijk *****
    Salah (c) Hazard Maddison Brooks
    Higuaín Vardy Wilson

    1. Totally Hammered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      C from that list for me....

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      C no doubt.

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      How many hits did it take you to get that incredible team matey?

      C by a mile

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

        Thanks! Took -8 last week and got lucky that Sterling was captain

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          So -12 in all, wish I'd taken some hits, patience has killed my rank this season although it's mainly been no correct captain choices in 28 gameweeks!

  15. -GK22-
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Worth a TC in gameweek 31 or wasted as most are already on Salah?

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Wasted

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

      if you think he's gonna do wreck... why not. form is a bit concerning.

      I'm hoping we get a 3rd DGW (slim but who knows!)

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

      Managers here losing patience with Salah.
      Might create some differential value ๐Ÿ˜‰

  16. BraxterStockman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Better option goind forward?

    A) Rondon
    B) Barnes ( better fixtuers )

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

      better option going forward... answer a few Qs before asking 2 in a row ๐Ÿ˜‰

      honest answer... A but depends on chip strategy

      1. BraxterStockman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I will be better, I just dont have much faith in myself so dont wont to ruin for someone ๐Ÿ˜›
        Well, I have used my FT so need one until WC at 33. Thank you for answering!

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

          i'm only messing about... ruin away... we all do it (not on purpose!)

          GL

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years

      B)arnes

  17. Krafty Werks
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Do we think that Felipe Anderson > Fraser is worth a hit?...what with his non-existent form, fact he was subbed at half-time last fixture and that he will be facing Chelsea away in GW33 also?
    Yay or nay? Thanks.

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

      i'm of the opinion that if your player plays in 31... just play him. most will be taking a few hits so before a ball is kicked youre up 4/8/12 points.

      I get his form is awful but he's a good player

  18. Vobinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    First attempt at Eliteserien this time.... Oh dear this is going to be a challenge!

    Never seen or taken any interest in Norwegian football for a start... other than the fact OGS managed Molde...

    1. YEAH PITCH!

    2. Hotdogs for Tea

      As the reigning Welsh champion I am taking it very seriously this year and not picking players because of their humorous sounding names ๐Ÿ˜‰

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

        I'll give the Welsh ML a go then! Might have to take to twitter to see if there are any handy Norwegians about too...

    Are people really playing Fantasy Eliteserien? People who arent even Norwegian? Thats a whole other level of addiction... Im Norwegian but the quality of play in our league is simply terrible, almost unwatchable. Probably League 2 level at best.

    1. SADIO SANÉ

          • 11 Years

          Most people that play premier league fantasy football aren't English.

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Because its a very good league with high quality football. Eliteserien is absolute rubbish.

            • 11 Years

            Most people will be English speaking , or do you mean from England ?

          I think it's about the glamour.

          Who hasn't dreamt about a rainy night in Moulde when they take on the mighty Odd.

            I had a look and the only player I recognised was Bendtner, even Erling Haaland isn't in the league anymore.
            I was also put off by the fact there are already DGWs confirmed for week 2.

              Wait until you work out the teams have different names, nicknames & abbreviations when you use different parts of the site - Brann players that also play for Fire ๐Ÿ™‚

                Might pick an auto select team, and revisit it at the end of May when I start to get FPL withdrawal.

                    Found that out already... had to google "Fire" players to find out which club they played for! And I thought FPL required a certain level of dedication...

                I think it's just a distraction for those season isn't going as swimmingly as first hoped

                not for me personally

                  Considering when it starts, there won't be much FPL left so it's mostly something to make the summer go quicker for me...

                AWB has been overtaken by Camarasa as most points on my bench.

                Jimi is now my second top scorer overall for the season on 128 just behind Hazard on 133 from 19 matches and ahead of Mo on 120 from 20.

                        Had money on both Olly Murphy horses for that one. Was just hoping KD would do a Devon Loch.

                      Yeah, looked at him. Also have Pereira. Guess I should have put down some boundary conditions.

                      1. HamezMace
                        • 9 Years
                        5 years, 2 months ago

                        Yeah if you have Pereira probably not worth the double up.
                        Leicester and West Ham have the best fixtures this week I'd say, for clean sheet potential.
                        West Ham, and Bournemouth defenders don't offer much in attacking threat, from what I can see.
