How to Play FPL – A Beginner’s Guide

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is back for another season so Fantasy Football Scout, once again, are here to help.

Perhaps you’ve never played FPL before and have been roped into a mini-league by one of your overly keen friends.

Or maybe you’re one of those die-hard Fantasy managers who need a complete guide to show your clueless colleagues, to make sure they definitely sign up for your mini-league?

Whoever you are, we hope this comprehensive guide explains everything you need to know about FPL.

What is Fantasy Premier League?

FPL is a game that casts you in the role of a fantasy manager. Your task is to pick a squad of players who then score points based on their real-life performances.

Do I need to play in a league?

The game can be played solo, with managers pitching their team against millions of others around the world. However, the more exciting option is to enter your team in private mini-leagues alongside your friends or colleagues.

How do I pick my team or squad?

FPL hands you a £100m budget to spend on your 15-man squad. If you’re new to the game, this budget may seem generous but once you start selecting players, it will start getting eaten up pretty quickly. You will find that the most expensive players will be the attacking options of midfielders and forwards.

With 11 of your squad starting each Gameweek, it’s up to you to decide which four to leave on the bench and in which order. They will replace any starters that do not participate at all.

Can I make changes to my initial FPL squad?

Before the start of the Premier League season, you can alter the squad as much as you want.

However, once the first deadline has passed you are limited to one free transfer per Gameweek. There is always the option to carry it over into the following Gameweek but be aware that no more than two free transfers can be collected.

After these, additional changes can be made but at a cost of four points per transfer.

The deadline for each Gameweek is always 90 minutes before the first kick-off. For example, if the opener is on Saturday at 12:30 pm (UK time), the deadline will therefore be 11:00 am.

How do I allocate my budget?

Maintaining some squad balance is advised, with a healthy mix of premium stars and cheaper assets throughout.

This balance makes it easier to purchase exciting, in-form players and helps when you’re confronted with an injury or suspension.

Ideally, aim for a situation whereby one or two free transfers can fix any potential problem. Investing heavily in one area of the team may jeopardise this, should you run into some bad luck.

Okay, so which players do I pick?

At the early stage of the season, it’s harder to say which assets will be the most important, but we will always have plenty of content available to help you pick an initial squad and make transfers through the season. So make sure you stick around!

How Do I Score Points?

There are lots of different ways to score points in FPL, with goals, assists and clean sheets the most important match events.

Each Gameweek requires selecting a captain to score double points. By also picking a vice-captain, you have a back-up in case that captain doesn’t make an appearance.

Below is a grid which details how to score with players from different positions.

ActionPoints scored
Playing up to 60 minutes1
Playing more than 60 minutes2
Each goal scored by a goalkeeper/defender6
Each goal scored by a midfielder5
Each goal scored by a forward4
Each assist3
Clean sheet by a goalkeeper/defender (must play 60+ mins)4
Clean sheet by a midfielder (must play 60+ mins)1
Every three shots saved by a goalkeeper1
A penalty save by a goalkeeper5
Bonus points for the best players in a match1-3

Can My Team Lose Points?

Unfortunately, there are a few ways to lose points too.

ActionPoints scored
Missing a penalty-2
Every two goals conceded by a goalkeeper/defender-1
Each yellow card-1
Each red card-3
Each own goal-2

What are chips?

All FPL managers begin the season with a complete set of chips, to be deployed throughout the campaign. Try to be patient with them.

There are a range of different chips that managers can use:

Wildcard – The Wildcard allows you to transform your squad by making an unlimited number of free transfers in that Gameweek. It lasts beyond that one round and is your new team. There are two of these to use – the first can be used at any point until December 29th, while the second can only be used after that date.

Free Hit – This is like the Wildcard but for just one Gameweek, allowing unlimited free transfers for that round of games. Your old team resumes afterwards.

Triple Captain – For one Gameweek, your captain will score triple points instead of the usual double.

Bench Boost – If you’re struggling to relegate four players to the bench, this chip allows you to receive points from all 15 players. Just for one round, though.

What should I do if my players get injured or suspended?

Monitor our injuries and bans table regularly to check on your team and if a player looks to be out for a few weeks, consider using a transfer to replace him.

When should I sign new players for my team?

A player’s form will fluctuate throughout the season, so be careful. Ideally, you’d be looking ahead rather than chasing points that have already been missed out on.

Sustained form and proven point scorers are what you’re after. Jumping on bandwagons can often be profitable but only when it belongs to a player who you think can sustain their form.

There’s certainly a wealth of information to sift through on this website if you’re going to try to stay on top of things. We’ll bring you the weekly information you need to make informed decisions, plus opinion pieces from Scout writers and Pro Pundits.

        1. Jafoole_88

          Triggerlips (Nick Cummings) who's a veteran of the game (best finish 35th) currently has trossard

    4. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Depending how Brighton go under new mgr, Maupay/Trossard/Locadia could be good. Personally waiting on them.

      Likewise Robinson / McGinn at SHU/AVL; and the Southampton strikers.

      1. wotwot
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Who would you choose between those?

    5. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Consider Doucoure.

    6. Pointerlou
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Harry Wilson should come in around 6.0 or lower. LFC will have had guaranteed minutes added to the loan contract but probably won't start first match. he had 15 goals and 8 assists in the league for Derby last season

  3. OneDennisBergkamp

    I'm real stuck, so many articles I can't keep up with, can someone summarize the top tips so far this pre-season?

      352 success strategy for value
      4.5 (4.0)
      Premium Premium Premium (4.5, 4.0)
      Premium Premium Midhigh Midhigh Midlow
      Midhigh, Budget (4.5)

        Why 352, i've always done 343 every season, I thought this was the optimal?

        1. LangerznMash
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          There were two (independent) articles posted on here weeks ago - both went into huge indepth analysis about optimal way to spread value based on previous seasons data. Both concluded pretty much the same system as I posted above. Sorry but I cba hunting out the articles, I will have comment on them if you go back about 25 pages of my comments history haha.

  6. Now I'm Panicking
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Seems to be a lot of baseline price defenders/midfielders (i.e. 4.0 defenders/4.5 midfielders) likely to start GW1 - is there an up to date opinion around which are likely to be the longer-term starters?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      no meaningful long term prospects at 4.0

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I don't want prospects, I want starters

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

      You can have mine if it means anything to you:

      Defenders:
      Rico was our best chance due to every other 4m defender eg Gibson, Hanley being circumstantial to injury. Lundstram also let us down with some very poor performances. Also wilder was never going to revert to the tactics that failed early on in the championship. Lundstram is not a 1st team player, wilder really wants him to be but he just isn’t helping himself.
      Anyway back to Rico. Spent a pre season with the first team defence, fan reports apparently suggest he has been performing poorly, this fidn’t Come across in the highlights as he has a hand in a few goals over pre season (assisting the assisted however). Daniels’ return leaves some expecting him to be eased back in 1st team very soon in rico’s Place.

      Mids:
      Dendoncker: Very nailed unless they sign a new CM, kessie and lemina linked but seems unlikely to happen now.

      Hayden: Seemed nailed until ASM signing has left doubts over the future of Bruce’s formation. If 4231 to accommodate all key attackers then i’m Not sure he makes it ahead of Longstaff or Shelvey.

      Conclusion. Rico best bet for Defence. Dendoncker best for midfield.

    If anyone is interested in a cash league, we can use some fresh blood. Been running for about 7 years now. Typically around 30-40 entrants. Top 4 win cash...plus other goodies. Also prizes for monthly winners. drinkup245@gmail.com for info.

      you keep posting this but not saying how much entry is

  10. Leeds2116

    Barkley worth it as 4th playing mid?

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years

      Pfft, not unless they've sewed a new head on him.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Between him and McGinn for me.

    3. Saint & Reevesy
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I’ve got him in a 3 man midfield.

  11. jontybonty

    I’m super torn here guys(and gals)

    A) Allison, KDB, and Ceballos
    B) Pope, Sterling, and de dendoncker

    It’s a tight one! Thanks for help 🙂

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…

    Tinkering like crazy this week. Probably trying to be too clever here, thoughts?

    Heaton
    Digne - VVD - Robbo - Duffy
    Moura - Salah(C) - Sterling - Perez
    King - Wood

    Stek - Felipe Anderson - Lund - Wickham

    I would sub Felipe in for gw2 benching Perez or Wood. Then move off Wood before gw3. I like his first fixture and don't mind him v Arsenal either in gw2. Could downgrade him to fodder before gw3 and upgrade Duffy to whichever City defender is looking good, after they've gotten the Spurs fixture out of the way. Play 4-5-1 after that.

    Over thinking it?? Haha

  13. jayzico

    Good morning gents.

    I have 6mill for a striker. I was all set on DCL but now even he's got competition.

    WHo are your 3 top strikers for 6m.

    Thank you so much.J

    1. EMBOLOFAN

      ings and murray both excellent choices in short term

    2. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Che Adams

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Maupay (once he becomes a starter), Ings (till he breaks), Wes (one leg longer than the other apparently)

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yep Ings then Adams once he becomes Mr Glass...

    4. It's his Job.
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Murray or Che Adams for me

    5. Root

      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ings Benteke Murray

    6. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Adams, Ings and Wesley. Murray decent fixtures to start too and on pens.

    7. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ings Wesley Sharp

      1. jayzico
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        We seem to be the only ones liking Sharp. His credentials are awesome

    8. Igor-Stimac
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Currently on Adams, tempted with Murray.

    9. jayzico
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ings it is. Thanks all

    GK Heaton
    DEF Wan Bis, VVD, Digne, Rico
    MID Salah, Siggy, Perez, Sterling
    FWD Kane, King

    Subs (Button), Greenwood, Deondoker, Lundstram 

    Happy with this although I'd love another 4.5 defender. It would be siggy or Perez out to fund this. Rico and Lund rotate fine

    1. It's his Job.

        Not worried about Sidibe?

      2. Too Many Hits

        Don't do that. Just signed a new RB yesterday and Digne is on set pieces.

    I think the meeting ended around minute two

  16. Unconstitutional

    Wilson and Barkley or Adams and Siggy?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years

      love sig but gotta be a

  17. GBB
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Ok! That's it. Only if you guys got some great arguments, I'll do some final changes (please share if you have though ;)):

    GK: Heaton
    DEF: VVD, Robbo, Digne
    MID: Salah, KDB, Moura, Barkley, Martial
    ATT: Vardy, King

    SUB: Stekelenbug, Lundstram, Guilbert, Greenwood.

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You're missing Sterling.

      1. GBB
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, doubted big time about that.. don't want both KDB and Sterling though. And got a personal preference above KDB.

        IF I'm going for Sterling it would be Kean or Abraham instead of Vardy (and downgrade to Adams or whatsoever if they do not perform).

    2. Turns

      Like it.

  18. Nailed Jesus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Would you rather have King (5-4-1) or Digne (4-4-2), assuming your team already has Wilson and Coleman?

    1. Nailed Jesus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      *King in a (4-4-2) and Digne in a (5-4-1)

      1. Foogle
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        4-4-2 is a more flexible formation for making FTs.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      4-4-effing -2

  19. lampsblues
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What about Siggy? He has got great opening fixtures but I haven't seen or heard anything about his pre season form. Has anyone watched him played in pre season?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Everton have been trash in pre-season, but don't think that necessarily matters and Gylfi is a proven top top player.

  20. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Ryan/Button
    Robbo/Zinc/Coleman/Lundstram/Rico
    Salah/Sterling/Moura/Perez/XXX
    XXX/XXX /Greenwood

    A - Wilson/Jota/Fraser
    B - Aubameyang/King/Dendoncker (would have to play one of Lundstram,Rico,Dendoncker)

    0.5ITB for A and B

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A, but not Jota from the get go

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I've been on A for a while now but I really want Auba as well, just hard to have him with Salah and Sterling - I like Jota best from the 6.5s regardless of fixtures - who would you go with?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Bournemouth double up might not be terrible or down to a 6.0. For the season, Jota is best 6.5 I reckon, but it is not just that Wolves being in UEFA Cup, but the distance that they need to travel too for next round.

    Best 4th playing mid, McGinn, Barkley, James or Grealish

      Barkley

      Barkley but not sure if he will be nailed with Mount playing well in pre season. Mcginn might be your best bet, I'd wait and see for James.

      Could be proven wrong but I don't think Grealish is an FPL player.

    Is Chambers nailed?

      I think he starts GW1, at least till Holding is back, but no I wouldn't say he's nailed.

    A) Kelly 25% team selection
    B) Rico 4,1%

      Was but should be back by GW1

      Should be okay but keep an eye on Pep's presser later in the week.

    Third draft this year, any ideas what to change?
    Could go Martial over Moura or Barkley/Green over Wesley/Dend.

    Heaton
    Robo/Digne/Zin/Kiko/Lund
    Salah/Sterling/Moura/Perez/Dend
    Wilson/Haller/Wesley

      Not a fan of 3 mid-priced up top, but could work. I'd stick with Moura unless big movements are Spurs happen before the window closes.

    RMT please fellas. My first draft with KDB instead of Sterling. Side looking a lot more balanced.

    Pope
    Robbo, VVD, Walker, Coleman
    Salah, KDB, Moura, Perez
    Kane, King

    Button, Dendy, Lundstram, Wickham

    I would love some thoughts on how I see my set up to be by GW3 and how I have set up initially. The spread of money should also allow me to alter to an 11m forward if required with another 4.5m Mid for one of the 9.5m ones. Any advice would be really appreciated

    Team GW3
    Ryan (Bennett)
    TAA Zinch Coleman Dunk (Rico)
    Salah Sterling Pepe Son (Hayden)
    King Adams (Wickham)

    My GW1 Team with 2.5m ITB is

    Ryan (Bennett)
    TAA Zinch Coleman Dunk (Rico)
    Salah Sterling Moura KDB (Hayden)
    King Origi (Wickham)

    Thanks

      So you plan on taking a hit then? KDB, Moura and Origi -> Pepe, Son and Adams?

      I wouldn't, but it could pay off

      That GW3 midfield (aside from the Arsenal fixture) is real nice (probably better to be KDB in GW3/4 though

    Repost...
    Feedback would be very welcome:
    Pope / (Button)
    Zinch / TAA / Walker-Peters / Digne / (Lundstrom)
    Salah / Sterling / KdB / Marial / (Dendoncker)
    Jota / King / (Greenwood)

    Any traps here? Not been engaged as much as I should have been.
    Also, have a spare 0.5m. Siggy instead of Martial?

    If you have Salah and KDB in the team already then who is riskier to start the season without

    a) Sterling
    b) Kane
    c) Auba

    Personally I think the riskiest is Kane (if he can stay fit) reason being is Sterling last 2 seasons has 234 (18/19) 229 (17/18) and KDB (when fit) seasons were 209 (17/18) 199 (16/17)

    Basically if Kane and KDB can stay fit and I know it's a big if then doesn't KDB at £9.5 become a more realistic choice and better use of funds than having Sterling???

      Still Sterling.

      They're not mutually exclusive. They can both score huge points.

  30. Camzy

    Current team:

    Henderson McGovern
    TAA VvD Digne Lundstram Rico
    Salah Sterling De Bruyne Perez Dendoncker
    King Wesley Ings

    0.5m which I can use to upgrade King to Kean or Abraham depending on which is hot.

    Also considering KdB + King > Aubameyang + McGinn (although double Villa attack...)
