Win a share of €250,000 in FanTeam’s Champions League Fantasy game


Sponsored by FanTeam


The UEFA Champions League is back and with it comes a chance of winning a life-changing sum of money.

Fantasy managers can put their European football knowledge to the test in FanTeam’s €250K Champions League Group Stage game, which comes with a guaranteed first prize of €50,000.

As the name of the game suggests, there is a total of €250,000 in the kitty, with the top 1,744 managers walking away with cash prizes.

With a maximum of 15,000 entries permitted and, at the time of writing, only around 700 teams currently entered, the odds are favourable for those who know their Liverpools from their Lokomotiv Moscows.

Entries cost just €25, a sum that many of us will have readily forked out in our Fantasy Premier League mini-leagues in the past.

An unlimited number of teams per user are allowed, too.

Even better: the game rules and scoring system are very similar to FPL, so skills are easily transferred from one game to the other.

HOW TO PLAY: A BRIEF GUIDE

As in FPL, FanTeam managers build a squad of 15 players that includes two goalkeepers, five defenders, five midfielders and three forwards.

A maximum of three players from a single Champions League club can be picked, with the budget for the initial squad set at 100.0m.

A starting XI is then selected for each Gameweek from that squad of 15, with a captain chosen to earn double points.

Two free transfers are allowed every Gameweek, with each additional transfer costing minus four points. Managers can roll a maximum of two Gameweek transfers forward but can never have more than four free transfers in their locker.

With only the group stage covered in FanTeam‘s game, there is no need to worry about long-term planning for the knockout rounds, price changes or chip strategy: it’s simply a six-Gameweek tournament, which runs from mid-October to early-December.

SCORING SYSTEM

Seasoned FPL managers, or those playing FanTeam’s €1m season-long Premier League game, should have no problem in adjusting to the €250K Champions League Group Stage game.

The familiar scoring system is shown above, with the minor differences outlined below.

KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FANTEAM AND FPL
  • There is no Bonus Points System, which is replaced by plus/minus points if a team is winning/losing during the period a player is on the pitch.
  • Goalkeepers get 0.5 points for every save made, unlike the one point awarded in FPL for increments of three stops.
  • Committing a foul that leads to a free-kick goal or converted penalty is penalised by minus two points.
  • Midfielders and forwards get an extra point for completing the full match.

    Anything worth a hit chaps? 0 4 ITB. Hoping to field 11...

    Martinez
    Saiss, Digne*, Chilwell*
    Salah, Fernandes, Son, KDB*
    DCL, Wilson, Brewster

    (Steer, Justin, Bissouma, Mitchell)

    Working towards Fernandes, Wilson & Digne -> Rodriguez, Kane & 4.9 DEF over next 2/3 weeks.

    Cheers

      You want Digne out long term? I’m worried about this flag, too, though.

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years

        Cheers. Yeah, think so, not proving great value (yet)

      Nothing worth a hit imo

        Thanks, my thoughts too (fingers crossed)

      Good evening mates : activated my wildcard yesterday and this my squad :
      Martinez
      Lamptey, Robertson, Saiss
      Rodriguez, Aubameyang, Son, Salah
      Wilson, Maupay, DCL

      bench: Walker-Pieters, Bissouma, Mitchell

      Wanted to switch from Auba & Maupay to Grealish and Kane. I'm hesitant to make that move because I want to see how Auba performs with Partey's addition while keeping an eye on Grealish at Leicester. Then I might make the switch in GW 6. I'll have two transfers then. Your thoughts on this? Should I just make the switch now or wait till next week?

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Prefer Kane & Grealish. Good luck!

        Haha funny guy. Liverpool’s dismal performance was a fluke against Aston Villa.... Man Utd’s dismal performance is the norm this season!

  5. CrouchDown

    Which of the following would you guys do?

    (A) Foden + Werner > Salah + Brewster (-4)

  6. Rasping Drive
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Plan to sell Reece James. 5.5 to
    spend. Top of my list at the moment is Regulion.

    (other defenders are Robbo, Saiss, Lamptey & Mitchell)

    Any other suggestions? Cheers.

    1. abhirup780
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Chilwell or PVA? or just get Dallas/Ayling and keep money itb.

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Can’t afford Chilwell at 5.6 unfortunately. PvA - a bit pricey, and Palace’s defensive stats not great. I like the Dallas/Ayling option, thanks for your input.

    2. FPLShaqiri
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Interested to see who you go for. I am most likely selling Doherty so in the same market. Think Dallas/Ayling are good picks.

      I currently have Robbo, TAA, Doherty, Ayling, Ferguson. Would like Chilwell if fit, but other than that I am considering Bellerin/Zouma/Dier/Lamptey (although last 2 maybe injured). What's your arguement for Regulion? Is he attacking much?

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Regulion, at least from what I’ve seen and read, should be really fun to own. Should get the odd goal with his fair share of assists to boot.

        I agree with your other considerations, although Arsenal’s fixtures aren’t good enough for me to consider Bellerin and Dier is, well, by name by nature etc.

        1. FPLShaqiri
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Interesting. I did watch Regulion's debut game and I don't remember his performance especially (Aurier stood out on the right more). I need to do some research...

          I don't rate Dier myself, but clearly Mourinho does, so good for guaranteed starts I'd hope, and the odd header too - probably my pick if he's fit. Agree on Bellerin though, would be picking him if he wasn't playing Man City this week but that puts me off.

          Semedo has just come into my thinking too. Gets forward loads.. should be a near certain starter as well...

    3. Villan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'd worry about Regulion being rotated but I see the temptation!

      Personally I'd go cheap currently. KWP rotates well bar gw10 with Lamptey

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, there is that concern. I think he’ll start most games with the odd rotation. Willing to risk it, esp with Spurs upcoming fixtures

    4. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Probably a 4.5 (Leeds) and pocket the change

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, I think I’ll either go that route or Regulion; unless I get an epiphany before the deadline. Thanks.

  7. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bench 2 please

    A) Reece James
    B) Lamptey
    C) Saiss
    D) Mitchell
    E) Justin

    Currently benching B&C

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You think James will start?

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Decision will be made for you with Mitchell

        1. FourLokoLeipzig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Surely it’s more likely PVA comes off the bench considering he’s coming back from a major injury. I’m expecting to get another game out of Mitchell

      • Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        DE

        1. Villan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah I'd go for this

          1. FourLokoLeipzig
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Me too

      • Klaren
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        A will probably not start. B and D might not play but they are unlikely to come in if they don't start. So I'd definitely bench A and then either one of B or D.

      Rice and Grealish were foolish choosing to commit to England instead of the Republic. Better chance of winning a tournament with Ireland

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Better chance of qualifying for a tournament with England

        1. @persecuted_by_mods

            Ooft

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          This is an awful weak for an FH with all top teams having difficult fixtures, your team is decent and G2G

        It’s going to be Blackburn for Barry Douglas. Undergoing a medical there. #lufc

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          What happened to him? Had him all lined up for my GW1 team in 18/19 with Wolves after hearing of all the great things he did in the Championship for them. FPL even priced him at 0.5 more than Doherty in that first season back in the Prem in 18/19

          1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Injuries hindered his chances from what I heard, fell down the pecking order due to that but still a solid player on his day according to Leeds fans

        2. Wılly
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          We were shocked when he was sold, very much like Doherty this season but on to bigger and better players! 🙂

      4. abhirup780
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Mitchell and KWP.
        What is the correct bench order?

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          That order

        2. Villan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yup

      5. FPL_BUCCANEER
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        McCarthy Steer
        TAA Justin Taylor Mitchell Vinagre*
        Salah KDB* JRod Soucek Bissouma
        Werner Martial* DCL

        Does KDB, Martial -> Son, Kane (-4) make sense?

        I havent used WC yet and I am thinking the next IB might be a good time.

        Based on the next 4 fixtures alone, plus form.. I think this makes sense?

        Any other ideas?

        Thanks guys.

            Geez, got KDB, Dier and Egan. Will probably get rid of KDB on my freebie. Can't bench a 11.5m player.

        2. Miguel Sanchez

        Biggest winner of the season starting late has to be Kane right? Didn't have to deal with the tales of August droughts

      8. Ritchies Magic Hat
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Rashford to Son
        Or
        Nketiah to Maupay

        1. Villan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Nketiah more pressing issue as not nailed. Maupay looks a good pick too

        2. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          The latter. I think United will beat Toon comfortably

        On my WC.

        A) Dallas + Soucek + 3.5itb to potentially upgrade one to TAA or Chelsea mid after watching both teams this week.

        B) Commit to either TAA or Pulisic now and bank the transfer

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          B - don't book in transfers on your WC if possible

      10. Villan
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ryan
        TAA / Saiss / Justin
        Salah (c) / KDB / Rodriguez / Zaha / Foden
        Jimenez / DCL

        McCarthy / Brewster / Mitchell / Ayling

        1FT

        Plans up in the air!

        Was going to go
        A) TAA and Foden -> Lamptey and Son (c) -4

        Now thinking possibly
        B) Save
        C) KDB -> Son (c)
        D) KDB and Jimenez -> Son and Kane (c) -4

        Thoughts?

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Tough one. Taking a hit in a week full of tricky fixtures is a big risk so I would say A

          1. Villan
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah saving seems most sensible.

            Son is so tempting though I'd prefer Kane against WHU. Son long-term though due to price/being a mid

        2. AnfieldLad
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          C or save for me

              • 10 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Cheers, yeah most likely so far.

              Wanted rid of LIV defence and really much money in defence for time being. But this could be silly, short term thinking tbh

          I think you might regret not having DCL

            I already do

              You could replace Jimenez With DCL then free up some funds to possibly upgrade podence to Grealish.

        2. Villan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          DCL out of those. Though SHU give up a lot of headed chances and have players out...

          Mitro has nice fixtures. Your team looks good though so B is probably the move (or ditch Davies)

        4. FourLokoLeipzig

          3 years, 5 months ago

          B or C. I did B early this week, partly for the price changes (and not owning Hamez was also a factor). At this stage, I think I would roll the transfer in your shoes. Mitro has a nice fixture, especially with the Blades’ defensive injury issues.

          That said, did I read that Lewis is an injury doubt? You may want to use your FT on Davies in that case or you could risk playing with 10 players?

        Now for the most interesting question of all time:

        Bissouma, Alzate or Stephens as 5th mid fodder on WC?

        1. Gregor

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Bissouma.

        2. Villan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I'd probably go Stephens just to save the 0.1 and Brighton spot.

          Unlikely Bissouma scores regularly

          1. Will J 256
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Bissouma personally.

          2. Villan
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Though above knows a lot more than me!!

        3. abhirup780
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Stephens. 0.1 is precious

        4. Wılly
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Bissouma scored last week but he got a red card two weeks before that. So you'd probably get different answers depending on when you're asking.

          I'd go for Stephens and save the 0.1.
          Brewster looks to be the strongest bench fodder though which is partly why I prefer 352.

        5. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Stephens. Your 5th mid will never come on if you're an active manager unless you're very unlucky.

      16. Will J 256
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        What does everyone make of Jack Harrison as an FPL option?

      17. fkmzcgp

        RMWCT

        RMT on WC

        Martinez - (Steer)

        Robbo - Lamptey - Chilwell - (Mitchell) - (KWP)

        Salah - Zaha - Rodriguez - Son - Grealish

        Kane - DCL - (Brewster)

        1. Villan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Looks good!

          But wait and see after the pressers about Chilwell and Rodriguez

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

          If on WC maybe not Mitchell. Not nailed long term

          1. Villan
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Good point, though no one is at that price

      18. Sloane426
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        (A) Maupay + Sterling
        (B) Kane + Rodriguez.

        1. Villan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I wouldn't get Rodriguez this week as might not start

          1. Sloane426
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Already have him, considering getting rid.

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

          A

      19. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Is it weird that the 2 week break felt shorter than the 1 week breal between matches

        1. Villan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Didn't personally! Just back into the game again and it's felt a long time to me! Especially after watching England dullfests....

          1. Zimo
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I guess I kind of shut off from fpl mostly. Occasionally came here to check price rises and comment sometimes

        2. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah i think it depends on whats going on with each individuals life. The busier u were during these 2 weeks the shorter it felt

      20. tissae
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Noticed that most of the guys on WC are going for Robertson instead of TAA. What are your thought process on this lads?

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          They're doing the right thing

        2. Villan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Cheaper, looked more threatening, better form, more set pieces than before.

          I'd be tempted to go without until Alisson is back but that might be foolish, short term thinking

        3. Wılly
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Cheaper and has more assists so far.

          I'm waiting for a TAA drop and then I'd jump on him with my WC

      21. NotsoSpursy
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Re J. Branthwaite

        Will he be a starter when back from injury?

        1. Villan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Doubt it

        2. Joey Tribbiani
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Looks like 5th choice atm, behind Keane, Mina, Holgate and Godfrey

        3. NotsoSpursy
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Ok thanks!
