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.

    On WC, how’s she looking? 0.3 ITB

    Martinez
    Robbo Chilwell Saiss
    Salah Son Hamez Grealish
    Kane DCL Maupay

    Steer, Dallas, Mitchell, Bissouma

      Like one massive city haul away from panic!

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not really. Would just need to drop Kane.

        1. AD105
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Agreed, City with no fit striker and KDB a slight doubt too

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

      Wait for news on Chilwell and Rodriguez. Looks good though

      • 9 Years

      i'd make sure you can get at least Kevin back in on max 2 transfers

      1. AD105
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Would lose Kane if needs be

    4. SomeoneKnows
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Similar to mine only I'v gone
      Castange over Chilwell
      Soucek over Bissouma
      Wilson over Maupay

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

      Perhaps go for a different 4.0 keeper than Steer; in case you want to double up on Grealish and Watkins

      1. AD105
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Doubt I’d want that much Villa, thought I’d have Martinez’s backup instead?

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

          Heaton will probably be back up when he’s fit

      Do you have Son and Salah too?

        yep

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

          I guess it depends on play style then.

          A seems safer as Pulisic might take a while to fully recover.

          Also Mane can become KDB, Auba or even Pulisic easily.

          I like Antonio long term

          1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Might go mane if fit as allows for more flexibility when another mid hits form

  5. SomeoneKnows

    A) Michell, Zaha and Maupay

      Hav

    4. Klaren

  11. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Which combo is best on a WC?

    a) Salah, Mane and Lamptey

    b) Salah, KDB and Saiss

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

      A appeals more. Could always downgrade Mane when you want KDB/Sterling back.

      1. GREEN JUMPERS
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        This

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

    A) Brewster (fodder) + Trossard 0.6m ITB
    B) Maupay + Bissouma

    ?

    1. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Pretty close. Take the money

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

      thanks

  13. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pool defender must have still? On WC and thinking distributing value to the bench also as a backup for Covid.

    0.6 ITB

    Martinez, 4.0
    Chilwell, PVA, Lamptey, Dallas, KWP
    Salah, KDB, Son, Zaha, Grealish
    DCL, Antonio, Brewster

  14. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Are there any 4.4m defenders that are nailed?

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lewis?

  15. LanMi
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    RMT

    GKP: Martínez (McCarthy)
    DEF: Mitchell, Saïss, Dias (Dallas) (Lamptey)
    MID: Fernandes, Salah, Son, Grealish, Rodríguez
    FWD: Calvert-Lewin, Bamford (Wilson)

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

      Would avoid Mitchell

    2. Villa Velour
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'd rather a stronger defence & forward for no Bruno.

    3. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      On WC?

  16. Oldie99
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Play Foden or Brewster? Surely punt on Brewster against FUL?

    1. Villa Velour
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Worth the punt for the fixture. Could easily come on for a 20 min cameo, however,

      1. Oldie99
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        surely they must start the kid!?!?!?

        yeah youre right but worth it i recekon

        1. Villa Velour
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Surely? They've got McGoldrick, Sharp, McBurnie, Burke all ready to go.

          I think he will feature, but I'm not confident he'll start.

    2. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      They've scored one goal. Don't think they'll plan on waiting a couple more weeks.

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

      I have the same choice but waiting on presser.

      The Dullard in me will probably go for Foden

  17. SomeoneKnows
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I think I'm finally G2G... Please rate

    Martinez (Forster)
    Robbo, Saiss, Castagne (Dallas, Mitchell)
    Salah, Son, Rodriguez, Grealish (Soucek)
    Kane, DCL, Wilson

    0.6 left itb so I could do Rodriguez to Pulisic in the future or other upgrades

    1. Villa Velour
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Beautiful

    2. Oldie99
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      nice team, I would go Wilson->Brewster, allows you to upgrade Soucek and possibly Saiss to Semedo if you feel like it

      I wuold probably have Brewster and Barnes/similar over Wilson and Soucek. WIll need bench points moving forward

    3. Werner Bremen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      9,5 really great

    4. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Soucek to Jorginho?

      1. SomeoneKnows
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That was my original pick but decided to drop him for not being nailed, and because I rather have those 0.2 itb for future transfer flexibility

  18. MARVELLUS
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Not too sure about the Lamptey love. Great player, but injury prone, defense not keeping clean sheets. Am I missing something?

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

      It was my biggest mistake this season to get him on my WC. I’d definitely avoid for the reasons you mentioned.

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      The injuries are certainly a concern, but did you expect clean sheets from Brighton against CHE/MUN/eve? They have better fixtures coming up.

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

      He’s not had the points yet, but I guess the reason you’ve referred to a 4.7m Brighton defender a great player is that you’ve also noticed he does a decent impersonation of peak Bale at times. Given that no teams look secure at the back and we’re placing an extra premium on attacking returns, he looks the best option at his price. I’m planning on bringing him in ASAP once he’s fit again

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

    A) Wilson
    B) Maupay

    1. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Maupay

    2. Dwotle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. NotsoSpursy

      thanks

  20. paatmaan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Any suggestions here?
    2 FT, 0.7 ITB.

    I might do Werner and Adams --> DCL & Antonio. Although I could keep Werner since he has Southampton at home?

    McCarthy (Steer)
    TAA, Saiss, Ayling (Mitchell, Tierney)
    KdB, Havertz, Rodriguez, Pereira (Bissouma)
    Kane, Werner, Adams

    1. Villa Velour
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't do Werner to DCL unless you were being priced out of it, which you aren't. I'd be tempted to do Adams to Antonio, though.

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

        cheers

  21. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Who is most nailed for Palace out of Sakho and Dann?

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

      Sakho probably but despite their good fixtures they're not exactly exciting picks. PVA is more exciting although I prefer Semedo, Chilwell and Reguilón.

  22. GREEN JUMPERS
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Which one to bench?

    a) DCL (LIV)
    b) Brewster (FUL)
    c) Maupay (cry)
    d) Grealish (lei)

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

      Ugh, nasty bench headache, that one. I guess Brewster, as he’s the only one who may not start. Definitely not Grealish

  23. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Jorginho a solid 5th/bench mid? There will be frustrating weeks for sure.

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Soucek has much better stats and is nailed- but terrible fixtures

      1. SomeoneKnows
        • 7 Years

        This

  24. RohanVaswani

    B) Grealish Maupay Dier?

    1. schlupptheweek

      A) has Pulisic and B) has Dier so definitely A!
