Quiz

Take our Fantasy Premier League 2019/20 quiz

They can’t all be 4,000-word long-reads on why the form of Ashley Westwood is key to Burnley’s clean sheet potential.

A little distraction and light relief amid the grave events elsewhere in the world can’t go amiss so, with that in mind, we’re launching a weekly Fantasy Premier League quiz while top-flight football is on an enforced break.

We’ll be operating on a season-by-season basis, starting with the current campaign and going backwards in time.

It’s not just FPL points we’re talking about here, however.

We’re harnessing statistics and images from our Members Area, asking questions on underlying numbers as much as Fantasy returns.

It’s just for “fun” (citation needed) and, of course, the answers can be easily enough sourced by accessing the Members Area or the FPL site itself – but where’s the satisfaction in that, we ask you.

Click ‘next’ below to start the quiz and to cycle through the questions.

We’ll return next week with the 2018/19 campaign.

    Anyone else not really missing FPL?

    Just want my freedom back, FPL is irrelevant

      I was at first now I'm not bothered. Obviously I still do certain things out of habit like come on here, but I couldn't give 2 schits about FPL.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        Most normal minded people wouldn't even be thinking of fpl in times like this. I am more thinking what to wipe my arse with next time i go to the bog

        1. el polako

          Had the very same problem until I decided to become The Sun subscriber.

    2. International Richard

      FPL is freedom! Freedom to choose the wrong captain every frickin gameweek!

    3. Jafooli
      • 12 Years

      Pretty gutted as was on for my best rank ever. Was in the top 50, but sadly there’ll be no record of this soon.

    4. Conor1
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Not missing at all. May even give it a miss going forward.

    5. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Same mate.
      I’m going crazy stuck inside all day.

      I miss fpl, but I’d give it up forever to be able to go outside and be able to work again.

    6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Lol nope.

    7. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      sure we'd all love to press a button that says freedom and health back, fpl gone but there is no such button. Doesn't make someone an inadequate human being for wanting both things back whilst recognising which matters more

        Fully agree with this.

        It doesn't have to be one thing or another.

        I miss FPL....I also miss being able to go wherever I like.

        One I miss more than the other, but I miss both - I think that's fine.

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        Agree 🙂

        Priority is viruse free world of course but agree completely with what you've said.

    8. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      I’ve a ridiculously long list of things I miss at this stage, and we’re only 2 weeks in - too many to even list, but off the top of my head:

      The world being open
      Freedom to leave the house
      Not having family members and friends confined to their houses
      Not having to queue to get groceries
      Not having the news dominated by a virus
      Gyms being open
      Sport on TV

      FPL is most definitely on that list of things as well - along with many, many others

      It is really missed, at least for me anyways - there’s no way I’m going to be on an FPL forum in the middle of a pandemic if I consider FPL irrelevant or don’t miss it

      But what the above list of things all have in common is that they are very much first world problems... and there are far less privileged folks in the world who would love to be complaining about having a roof over their heads, having to queue for fresh food & water etc

      This whole thing does shine a light on how thin the veneer that separates us all from chaos really is

    9. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Is it because i was doing rubbish? Maybe, but i have lots more interests to keep my mind off FPL.

      Like above comments, i come in here and another forum to see if anything interesting is brought up, (topic wise) I'm not coming here for FPL talk (specifically this season) as doesn't exist anymore.

      Reality is, this pandemic takes prescience over anything

    10. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      All I really want atm is for people to stop dying from this f#cking virus.

    11. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Not sure about you all.

      I need FPL, Football back asap. After corona end of course. But, I'm loosing it !!

      Need distraction from some real life situations 😀

    12. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      This period has made me realize that FPL adds very little to my life. Even cooped up inside Ive not missed FPL at all.

      You traitor. You were never one of us. 😉

  2. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    7/20

    Beat that suckers

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      5, I win

    2. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      4/20 - the picture in each question gave away too many answers.....

    3. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Ditto, 7/20

    4. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      9/20, and I was disapointed.

    5. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      8/20.

      Really thought I'd do better but at least I beat Syd.

      Great quiz, that was tough although getting 50/50's correct would have made score very respectable.

  3. Epic Fail
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    20/20 - Pretty gutted as there is no record of this.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      RF, but still. At least I got 20.

    2. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Score’s are actually shown on the home page, unlucky with your 3/20

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        I definitely didn't just go to the homepage to check. I swear.

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 12 months ago

          😛

          So that means you did get 3/20. Decent effort considering how random the questions were.

          ‘Which player bought a peanut butter sandwich before a game in which they went on to record the lowest number of interceptions for a Monday night game’? Da faq...

            Just wait till we get to 2011/12 and I'm asking you about Mark Bunn's save percentage

            1. Jafooli
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 12 months ago

              😛

              2%?

              1. Skonto Rigga
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 12 months ago

                64.3%, off the top of my head

                1. Epic Fail
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  3 years, 12 months ago

                  From memory I think it's 64.4%.

                  1. Syd.
                    • 14 Years
                    3 years, 12 months ago

    Well, focusing this comment totally on FPL only; if we're in the same spot in 4 weeks time, I can't see the season being completed. The complexity around everything which is not on the pitch, involving TV contracts, player contracts, footballers fitness, Summer holidays, support staff etc etc sounds mind-boggling. There will be many with agenda's either side of the arguments, which won't help; and then it gets legal.

    So you have to assume the path of least resistance, which I'm not qualified to suggest, anyone?

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Covid-19 will need to comply first, then everything can be worked out after.

      Unless governments end up needing to accept the lesser of two evils - virus deaths vs deaths from the measures implemented to stop the spread (e.g. leading to starvation, civil unrest, crime, economic depression, societal collapse etc)

      1. 'Broadsword Calling Da…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        Yeah, the latter part of your comment is what has startled me in all of this crisis; the fact that dystopian-esqe situations, although always 72 hours away (I think that's the figure of old), is now on the radar. I think the governments getting-in very very early and wanting the upper-hand in this lock-down scenario; although that sounds a little sensationalist, I hope i'm very wrong and it's merely to facilitate social distancing to quell the spread of C-19.

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 12 months ago

          Current measures is about buying time to discover vaccine (and implement vaccination program), beef up medical capabilities and flatten the curve before domesday scenario becomes an option.

            I firmly believe with every sinew, we'll get through this and hopefully, come out better the other side, heck, Mike Ashley even apologised in public, who'd have ever thunk that! Stay safe one and all.

  7. Back on the horse

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      20 is higher than 8 fella. Soz.

  8. Now I'm Panicking
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    7/20 - worse than "Religion - easier"

  9. Surfeit of Lampteys

    Damn remember David's quiz on the scoutcast that time? Yikes.

    1. andy85wsm

      Wrong format at the time, but I reckon a live stream quiz would be well placed at the moment!

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys

        For sure.

    8/20! Was hoping for double figures...

    1. Amey

      Same score for me

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9/20 for me .... and I'm not even a pro pundit 😉

  12. Fpl Richie

    9/20.
    Surprised by some of those!

    11/20 I'll take it

  16. Coys96

  17. Camzy

    This quiz... Just pick the most unlikely sounding answer and you'll do great.

  18. fedolefan

    12 / 20

    Who couldn't wait to be done after like 5 questions?

    1. GreennRed

      Sure post a better one.

    2. Now I'm Panicking

      Is that why you made up your score?

    Harry Kane: End of June the limit for season. Playing into July or August and pushing next season back, I don't see too much benefit in that

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52086428

    Do you think that might have something to do with the fact that Spurs look unlikely to qualify for next seasons CL if the season is completed, and are out of all the cup competitions as well ?

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Maybe so but it might also mean that he might just want to move on with his life and career.

      Who is to say if he will be still playing for Spurs next season?

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Maybe he cares more about people than football

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Funny how underachieving teams want to void the season, isn't it?

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        Harry Kane isn't a team.

      2. Soto Ayam
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        As a West Ham supporter, and I can honestly that it in no way influences my opinion that the season should be voided. Please please please void the season so I can roll on to another season of disappointment and frustration.

  21. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    6/20

    Lame score but probably reflects accurately how much attention i was paying this season.

    I had no idea shots on target conceded (teams only) had been added to custom stat tables. Have any more new tick boxes been added recently please?

      1. FPL Virgin

    Brilliant bit of functionality, an excellent idea and some very clever questions. Well done to all involved.

            FPL season void then or do I keep my OR this season?

              • 14 Years
              3 years, 12 months ago

              Depends if Liverpool win the league and if 1st wins FPL.

                • 6 Years
                3 years, 12 months ago

                I'll happily give it up if Liverpool also miss out. 🙂

                To be honest though, if they cancel the season I don't want the title anyway as not fair. Donate the prizes and start afresh whenever safe to do so.

                  Tough one with 4 chips. Maybe offer the prize but no title?
                  Will be interesting to see what happens especially if FPL recommences.

                  If the other 13 ahead think the same then I will happily take the title 😀

    Read a headline saying new infection figures have dropped for the second day in a row, could be a first glimmer of hope.

      Did you today's news conference. Talk of 6 months.

      No way this season is getting completed for some time. Or more likely at all

        I reckon they say six months as it brings us to September, when schools will restart.

        Play the glad game. Be grateful you’ve had however many years on this planet in, I assume, a pretty great country with no malaria or dysentery or worse.

        Wow thought my corona comment was within lines. I just go from what doctors and scientists say and not mainstream media.
