How to Play Sky Sports Fantasy Football – A Beginner’s Guide

With the start of a new Premier League season moving ever closer, we switch our focus to Sky Sports Fantasy Football.

For the uninitiated, we will go over the basics of the game in the article below.

How do I play?

Just like in Fantasy Premier League, managers select a team of players that will either earn you attacking, defensive or bonus points in an attempt to score more than your friends, colleagues and/or the rest of the world. However, this not a squad-based game: you choose simply a starting XI and do not have a bench.

The budget, like in FPL, is £100m. There is no quota for players from the same club, however.

Game Weeks run from Friday to Thursday with managers allowed transfers in between Match Days, allowing the maximisation of potential points by bringing in an asset yet to play for one who has already been involved that week.

Instead of one free switch per Game Week as per FPL, the Sky Sports game allocates 40 transfers that can be used at any time during the season – with a limit of five in one Game Week – creating the need for a more long-term strategy.

‘Overhauls’ (the equivalent of Wildcards) are also available in Sky Sports, with two being allocated every season. The first one becomes available to use following the completion of Game Week 4 and remains an option until the deadline for Game Week 6. The dates for the second one will be announced in due course.

In the Sky Sports game, you can name more than one captain in a Game Week so long as the players in question are in action on different days. For example, if there were fixtures on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in any given Game Week, a Sky Sports Fantasy manager could name a different skipper on each of those Match Days, providing they did so before that day’s deadline. Managers can also schedule their captains ahead of a Game Week, too.

How do you score points?

The points structure is largely similar to FPL in Sky Sports Fantasy but tends to award more points for the actions mentioned below.

ActionPoints scored
Starting XI2
Substitution appearance1
Goal scored by a goalkeeper/defender7
Goal scored by a midfielder6
Goal scored by a striker5
Goal assist3
Clean sheet by a goalkeeper (must play 60+ mins)7
Clean sheet by a defender (must play 60+ mins)5
A penalty save by a goalkeeper5
Man of the Match3

Can My Team Lose Points?

Unfortunately, just like in FPL there are a few ways to lose points too.

ActionPoints scored
Missing a penalty-3
Every goal conceded from the second goal onwards-1
Each yellow card-1
Each red card-3
Each own goal-2

How do Bonus Points work?

Just like in FPL, there are additional points on offer for other events in matches – although the structure is slightly different, as you will see below.

There have been some changes from last season, with fewer shots on target and saves needed to garner points.

Tier 1 Action
Points scored
3 saves made (GK only)2
4 tackles won2
60 completed passes2
2 shots on target2
Tier 2 Action
Points scored
5+ saves made (GK only)3
5+ tackles won3
70+ completed passes3
3+ shots on target3

How do I play against my friends?

There are a number of different ways to compete against others in the Sky Sports game. You can create or join a Free League with your friends and colleagues but there are ways to win money too.

Sky Sports can actually administer your money league for you to avoid any awkwardness post-season. You can choose the entry fee (either £2, £5, £10 or £20 per person) and the prize structure beforehand and Sky Sports will take care of the rest.

          Solid... And I mean very solid, use of Photoshop. Deffo had two looks.

          But the proof is... Harry Kane has never thrown a pinch in his life. Especially not one that puts van damme to shame.

    Any idea what the additional league "supersport" in the global league is all about?

  4. The Royal Robin

    Are there any decent 6.0 strikers?

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I'm guessing Jay Rod, DCL, Adams, Wesley? Any of these worth a punt?

      1. JohnnyMagrinho
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Wesley is interesting.

          1. Kiwivillan

            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Will be paying close attention pre season. I'm feeling confident for the season. Surprising to barely see a single Villa player in any team. Could be some great value

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              It’s that first fixture tho innit

              1. Kiwivillan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                If you base selections on 1 fixture you probably struggle at this game. Besides often shocks on opening weekend. I'm confident of upset

                1. Ask Yourself
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  That’s why i’m Deferring the dilemma until we have an idea of how teams settle, planning for an early WC

                  1. Kiwivillan
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 9 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    Any earlier than around 6 is madness

                    1. Ask Yourself
                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 8 months ago

                      Prove it

                      1. Kiwivillan
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 9 Years
                        4 years, 8 months ago

                        Teams haven't settled. Could've done an early WC last season and 4 weeks in suddenly that Wolves player you had exact money left for is dropped for rest of season

                      2. Kiwivillan
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 9 Years
                        4 years, 8 months ago

                        I just know what works for me last few seasons and GW6 is good point taking international break into account and market movement

                        1. Ask Yourself
                          • 7 Years
                          4 years, 8 months ago

                          Transfer window is before season starts now. So 2 games in seems like a more accurate marker to me than it would have been. The main significance is the fixture shift this year

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        William Sharp.

    2. FPLMarc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      4 years, 8 months ago

      After so much tweaking, I've noticed that my starting team basically comes down to one decision: Vardy or Kane?

      I know Salah, Sterling, Robertson, Digne and Siggy/Rich will be there. Then it's:

      A) Vardy, J King, Zaha, Walker, Dunk
      B) Kane, J King, Ayoze, Cathcart, Dunk

      And it won't be BOTH Vardy and Kane, because I feel a 6-7m striker is essential and all three is too expensive.

          Do you have TAA, Robbo, Salah and Sterling?

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah, I've Yarmalenko as my 5th mid and wondering if I should hold off and get a 4th defender instead.

    4. ThisPostsOnFire

      Trying to break free of Sterling in search of balance.

      Thoughts on this:

      Lloris

      TAA, VVD, Walker, Coleman

      Salah, Siggy, Perez

      Kane, Wilson, Deulo

      (Button, Kelly, Dendonker, Romeu)

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Breaking free or Sterling will come at a price.

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        No Villa. Start again

      3. Rash
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Lose kane for balance

      4. Big Ping
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        What do you mean by balance?

    5. Rash
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Why are so many players not been added to the game yet?

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It would be nice to see Mason Mount's price for example, and Tammy's.

      2. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It seems to only be the Chelsea boys

        1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Probably waiting to see if they get put out on loan like the 40 others

      Moura and Origi gonna be great picks but Origi's price causes problems when I need to take him back out again after 2 weeks as there is no one else at that price to replace him :/

          Hmm yea I normally WC early but was hoping to avoid it this season if I can. Sure its good to jump on bandwagons and if I have to I will. Im leaning towards just not having Origi I guess, Moura is easy to replace

    7. Roy Rovers

      Is Kante being overlooked?

      1. Legomané

        Only by Sarri! 🙂

          :O 3rd best team in the league behind Liverpool and city and won europa league think Sarri found kante’s best position :O

        Anyone with Kante in their team is officially casual, you might as well chuck in Henderson while you're at it

      3. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yes but only because he is short

      4. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yes because he's a crap FPL option.

      5. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        116 points last season ain’t crap

          Noble is a better pick than Kante, and when Noble is the better pick you know its bad

      Over the past two seasons
      Salah and Sterling have mustered
      One Hundred and Forty-Five attacking returns

      145 !!!

      With fixtures that rotate well at the beginning of the season and premium defenders gobbling up our budget, do we really need to look elsewhere for our captaincy rotation?

        No sh** Sherlock. Must have taken you ages to come up with this.

          Is there any reason you're so offensive to posters who have been on here years helping people?

          Impressive stat, 100% everyone needs to own at least one of Salah and Strong and should captain them almost every week.

            Is this some kind of pathetic retribution for earlier comments ?
            Please grow up .
            Do you honestly think that this post was anything other than blindingly obvious ?
            If you don't it speaks volumes.

              Never occurred to me that the most expensive players in the game would be good for captaincy

                • 6 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                The point of the post wasn't whether or not they are good to Captain... it was whether it is even worth starting to consider any alternatives... perhaps that just whizzed over some heads 😮

              I just remember when this was a friendly forum rather than abusive.
              Probably why most of the decent posters don't bother anymore.
              Its literally the most useful post on this page.

                Think that you may have this slightly wrong. Depends what you quantify as decent posters but the longer standing ones have migrated elsewhere to other invitation only forums where there is no need to put up with idiotic content.

          3. George Sillett

            So how many years for this one precisely ?

          Well I only have 10 fingers, so yes it was quite a struggle adding up such a big number

        We don't need to look elsewhere too often but do we need both?

        I really wanted triple Liverpool defence with Sterling captain but I just don't have the same faith in Sterling as I do Salah.

        Is Sterling worth his price if he will rarely be captain?

        1. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Sterling more than proved his captaincy potential for me last season. On fire, with all new Hattie potential!

        This is a value issue that this site must address, a good VORP inc cap post is needed.

        1. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Why don't you give us a taster? 🙂

          1. Netley Lucas
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Hey, they always do the VORP at this time, it's tricky with caps though. I make it better to go Sterling & 6.5 over KDB & Vardy but it's really guessing isn't it?

    9. George Sillett
      • 8 Years

      Great to see all the forward lines with 2 cheap shitey strikers. Dream on.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Distracted by a freak season. I personally think it’s worth waiting out a couple of weeks before making a decision on this tho

      2. Optimus.
        • 13 Years

        Kane, Wickham and Greenwood will kill it gw1

        Haha ikr. Mental

    10. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Anyone going for 1 up top. All the value seems in defence and midfield.

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yes.

        1. The Royal Robin
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I think the wildcard can remedy it, and you can soon purchase the in form premium. It's a few clicks away, but to start with I'm quite set on a 451.

          1. The Royal Robin
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            And when you consider that Sterling and Salah are forwards, you're basically in a 433 in reality, despite being in a 451 in FPL terms.

      2. Snevitz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        No, you lose playable subs and the ability to make money from your whole squad when you pick two £4.5m strikers.
        Unfortunately you have to hit £6.5m before anyone is worth owning unless you agree with RMT's Ings projections

        1. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Hopefully some 6,0's (or even 5.5) forwards will start making themselves noticed in preseason. Morales or Adams would be useful - DCL too if Everton fail to invest in a legitimate starting striker up top

      3. Camino Aleatorio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yes. The major reason is that FPL labels so many Attacking Wingers as midfielders and defenders

        I think many FPL teams will have one FPL “forward” and one actual defender like a Laporte or VVD

        The other 8 players are attacking wings for goals and assists

      4. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        For me 4-4-2 is the optimal formation. It's not all about value returns, there is also an element of game dynamics that I feel impact owning 2x 4.5 forwards. This is because we need some form of bench cover and two 4.5s gives no backup for your lone striker.

        The optimal cover player (if just playing with one active bench player) is a 4.5 mid, as at present this is the only position in the game where you pay base price (4.5m) for an actual starter.
        In a 442, a budget mid covers All other positions.
        If a 4.0 playing defender emerges, then even better - 2x backup players 🙂

      5. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yes. 451

    11. One Man
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Best 4.5m defender for opening fixtures ?

      1. LSK
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Cathcart and Diop

        1. Snevitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Agree with this although there just don't seem to be any that are great, they have made it tough to find low value options this season.

      2. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years

        O’connell

    12. Coaly

      Vardy Deu or Jimi Wilson?

      1. Optimus.

        Why not all 4?

        1. FPL_Gyarados
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          You can't have 4 strikers.

      Its reached the point now where I have tweaked my team so much that evrytime I try and change it I just end up with the same team again basically -_-
      I think this is enough tweaking until closer to the timer, its fun kind of but jsut treading water without all the facts

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It's called pre-season syndrome.

      2. DeathoftheParty
        • 7 Years

        That must be the team for you then...

    14. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A - Jota/Yarm rotation, a strong 12th man, better GK
      _____ (Button)
      Trent Virgil Digne Zinky (Kelly)
      Salah Siggy _____, _____ (Donkey)
      King Jota ______

      A) Ederson + Bilva + (Yarm) + Vardy. Yarm/Jota rotate really well.
      B) Ryan + Sterling + Bilva + (Wickham)
      C) Ederson + Sterling + Brooks + (Wickham)

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years

        Looks good man go for it. Wolves won’t be up for it every week this season what with Europe and all that

      2. Snevitz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I've always liked a strong first sub, saves you worrying about injuries and it makes the game more interesting. I like having actual decisions to make each week.

      Chances of Winston Reid being nailed?

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        0.0000001%

      2. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Now he's back from injury, there's a fair chance he could be gentily eased back in

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Diop and Balbuena twice the player he can become from his vegetable state

      3. Snevitz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        If you have to ask then he's not nailed.

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          It's not that simple. He was their best defender and if 100% fit probably would still be. But he's been out a long time with a recurring injury and is now back so it's a big 'if' but a fair question. He didn't ask if he was nailed but whether there's a chance he could be

      4. Netley Lucas
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Well he's not, he's 4th in the pecking order.

      5. Poseidon.
        • 5 Years

        No

      6. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        If Diop signs for Utd for £60m then his chances go up significantly 🙂

        Surviving preseason would be a good start.

      Thoughts on this?

      Alisson
      Robbo Trip Digne
      Salah Lucas Tielemans James
      Aguero Jimenez King

      4.0 Hayden Cathcart Ward

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        James very unlikely to come in and start from the off. Drop him. Lose allisson too. You'll be annoyed that you can't get mane, bobby, Trent, vvd because you used last slot on him

        1. Snevitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          This is good advice.

      Is there any way/where to see points from past seasons in Sky FF? I looked on the "Sky Sports" section of player stats here on FF Scout, but couldn't see player points total listed...

      1. Optimus.
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        On the Home page, press, R1, Right, Left, Right, R2, Left, Right, Square, Right, L2, L1, L1

      Evening all... what do people know about Ndombele from Spurs?

      What position does he play and even though his price tag into the club was high, how likely is he to get regular minutes?

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Not likely to be an FPL option, but may increase attraction of other options.

    20. Areid13
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      12.5 for two mids. Already have Tielemans, any ideas?

      1. Snevitz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Brooks and, if he looks good pre-season, Yarmolenko

      2. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        6.0 is a bit of a wasteland. Hudson-Odoi could be gold, but unlikely to start the season.

        Pereyra perhaps, Wat early fixtures look decent

        Moutinho wasn't too bad last season for chance creation

        Hourihane at Villa could be a shrewd pick with nice fixtures after GW1 - but very difficult to judge coming into the PL for the first time.

        Have seen Trossard mentioned too, and Yarmolenko is popular in the "under the radar" thread

      3. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years

        Brooks, Barnes and trossard my faves

      2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        You mean Sky Fantasy Football?
        I think it's only eligible for UK players, but would suggest you visit the T&C's on the platform in case I'm wrong.

      3. Kane Toads

        Slim but don't panic, Gibson could be, if...

      4. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        There is a chance he'll be first choice but you'll have to wait for pre season and more from Howe. He's already said Rico will get another chance and he still believes he has what it takes

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 6 Years

          Moura's mint at the start I feel.

            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            If he starts the 1st game then he’s great. For that game. Then it’s City. Then it’s the bench. Only problem

      3. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years

          No doubt, not a lad.

            I'm just lazy.

      Any glaring oversights? I'm worried about my forwards but I'm going bigger in Mid and Def due to better PPM.

      Ryan - Fab
      TAA - Gomez - Coleman (El Moh - Aarons)
      Salah - Sterling - Siggy - Pedro - Perez
      King - Deu (Wickham)

      Can downgrade Perez/Pedro and upgrade upfront potentially.

      Any thoughts? Cheers

        Different. Not for me, but good draft.
        Pedro is, ummmm, not one I'm looking at at all. Chelsea's best assets at the moment are pretty much Kepa, RLC and CHO, and two of those are injured.

        Overall, could do well. Feel like you need a City defender, though. Maybe downgrade Fab->4.5 and switch Gomez to Walker?

          Azpi?

          Agree about City defender... I want to see who takes the LB spot and was thinking of taking a punt on him.

          Regarding Chelsea, they won't be great but still, someone needs to score goals so I think one of Pedro/Willian will do decently without the over reliance on Hazard.

          I'll see how preseason goes.

          Didn't know about El Moh... thanks for the heads-up.

          Cheers guys 🙂

        Instead of Pedro you can have Anderson or Yarmolenko (7M & 6M respectively). Also El Moh has been said by many Villa fans on here not to be a starter

          Elmo is competing with new signing Guilbert but was key player in our end of season winning streak but I wouldn't risk him and I have soft spot for him

      Would you get

      A)VvD+Vardy/Laca

      OR

      B)Auba/Kane+Holebas/Ake
