€50k top prize in Fanteam’s easy-to-play, FPL-style Champions League game


Sponsored by FanTeam


The UEFA Champions League starts this evening – and you could have €50,000 in your pocket by the time the group stage ends in December.

By entering FanTeam’s Champions League Group Stage game ahead of tonight’s Gameweek 1 deadline at 17:55 BST, Fantasy managers will be in with a chance of winning a share of the guaranteed €250,000 prize pool.

Given that only 2,200 teams have been entered at the time of writing, and with the top 1,744 places assured of cash prizes, the odds are favourable to say the least.

It’s a Fantasy game without the complications, too: no Wildcards, no chips, no convoluted scoring system, no price changes – it’s a six-Gameweek, FPL-style tournament that gives you the chance to pair Robert Lewandowski with Lionel Messi and walk away with a huge cash prize in the process.

Entries cost just €25, with an unlimited number of teams per user allowed.

HOW TO PLAY: A BRIEF GUIDE

It really is nice and easy, this game, with the basic rules as follows:

  • 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 transfer budget 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.

SCORING SYSTEM

FPL managers, or those playing FanTeam’s €1m season-long Premier League game, will find the scoring system €250K Champions League Group Stage game a doddle.

The points breakdown 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.

    Which transfer makes more sense this week?

    1) VVD to TAA/ Robbo.
    2) Ings to Kane (already have Son)
    3) Podence to Bruno and VVD to a 4.0 bench fodder (already have three playing defenders)

    Thanks!

    OK, old fart here. someone please help me out. 14 years in and I have never sussed out the Watchlist on the FPL website. I know last week I added players to my 'Watchlist' but now I want to make I transfer but how can I see them? I've Google galore and ended up here.

    Where is this illusive 'Watchist? on the FPL website when I'm in my team? (Proper noob/old fart question know, sorry).

    First person to answer I will transfer the 0.1 that you just need (If I could do, obviously).

    Cheers.

      Go to transfers, then the player list drop down. Its the second option down.

      1. Pies Have Come
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks mate. Appreciate it. A virtual 0.1 coming your way. Good luck for the rest of the season.

      Go to transfers and in the top drop down menu on the right just click watchlist.

      Not yet

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      What could you do with a double hit?

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

        With a -8?

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah

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

            Mmm could get Kane and upgrade Trossard and get rid of Davies

            1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I think it's worth considering.
              Anyways, get Kane.

    3. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy > Kane and you should be OK

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

        Yeah no trust in Vardy anymore? Was thinking about getting Bruno in actually

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

          Kane a lot more exciting atm, could really hurt you if he hauls twice in the next three and you still aren't involved

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

            Yeah true. Vardy -> Kane it is

  5. Mudbay
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What do you think of my team?

    McCarthy / (Nyland)

    Doherty - Justin - KWP - TAA - Ferguson

    Salah - Mane - Son - Soucek - Podence

    Brewster - Mitrovic - Werner

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

      Dcl or hamez needed

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

      Dont like Brewster, Mitro, Soucek, Justin, Ferguson and the Southampton defensive double up.

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

    If money is not an issue, which three forwards would you go for, out of:

    A) Calvert-Lewin
    B) Jiminez
    C) Kane
    D) Werner
    E) Aguero

    Thanks

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I mean if money's no issue then Kane, Werner, Aguero. I'd drop Werner first of those.

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

      DCL, Kane, Aguero

    3. Bielsa Murderball
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      C, E, A

    4. aborg

    3 years, 5 months ago

    1FT - what would you change here? want kane and roddy but not keen on losing werner. Also want rid of mitro

    McCarthy
    TAA-Justin-Saiss
    Rashford-Son-Salah-Grealish
    Werner-DCL-Mitro

    Nyland-Taylor-Mitchell-Biss

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

      Dare I say hold this week

  8. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Fancy getting a Villa player in whilst the bandwagon is still rolling. Which FT would you do here?

    A) Mitro > Watkins
    Or, ASM to:
    B) Grealish (worth the extra money?)
    C) Barkley
    D) McGinn

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

      Grealish probably has the highest ceiling

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

      I would do B.

      Go for the talisman

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

        Also, If I still had Mitro I would definitely hold for the next 2

    3. Matt Sk
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B

    4. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B by a mile for me

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

    Which option do you prefer?

    A) TAA Pulisic Watkins
    B) Dallas Grealish Kane (-4)

    Martinez Forster
    Robertson Lamptey ***** Mitchell Kilman
    Salah Sterling Son ***** Soucek
    ***** DCL Brewster

    Cheers.

    1. Bavarian
      • 6 Years

      B

  10. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Kane currently exceeding his XA by 6. Bit like Bruno at the end of last year.

  11. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Which one?
    A) Grealish
    B) Zaha
    C) Barkley
    D) McGinn

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

      A

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

      A

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

      A

  12. Bavarian
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lot of (C) options this week..
    who to (C)?

    A-Salah (SHU Home)
    B-Kane (BUR Away)
    C-Son (BUR Away)
    D-Jimenez (NEW Home)
    E-DCL (SOU Away)
    F-Grealish (LEE Home)

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

      Has to be Salah imo

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

      You forgot Sterling (WHU Away)
      ...and will probably captain him and VC Kane

    3. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kané. Look at his away form.

  13. rnrd
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Silly question I guess.. In the stats section, when we click "defensive team stats", when it's said "chanced conceded on the right flank" are we talking about the right flank og the defense or the attack?
    I mean, if we say Liverpool conceeded 7 big chanced from the right flank, are we talking TAA or Robbo side?

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

      I’m almost certain it’s the defensive right.

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

      I always thought it was the defending right , so TAA.

    Last Man Standing GW5 (3413 teams)

    2. 2999 - Lady of Legend
      • 3 Years

      Scored 51 exactly, was that good enough?!

  15. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    anyone figured out who is better

    ayling or dallas

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Impossible! That's like comparing apples and identical apples with a different name.

    2. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It's like Robbo and tAa

    3. aborg
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Last night Ayling was more threatening but they seem to even out from one game to the next.

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I asked Leeds fans and they Said that Ayling is probably a bit more nailed, so I went with him.

  16. Matt Sk

    How secure is the place of this 4.0m wolves def?

    1. TorresMagic™

        • 14 Years

        Nevermind, he's a decent shout but Marcal injury has helped. MOTM and winning team in his favour.

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

      I wish I knew for sure, but many say his position is not secure.

    3. aborg
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Secure or not, he is a good enabler. Had him on my bench this GW and missed out on 12 points!

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

      Don't believe he's their long term plan but he should have bought himself a few more games with his performance yesterday and Marcal only getting 1min this week.

  17. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Would you take out Wilson for Kane?

    Good move or not my other strikers are DCL and Werner

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kane is a better player than Wilson, and will score more points this season.

      Happy to help 🙂

    2. pwill40
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      the question is what you would do with the extra money? Kane is clearly a better bet than Wilson

  18. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Can burnley keep a clean sheet vs. Spurs?

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      Can? Yes
      Will? Unlikely

    2. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Absolutely. Have a feeling the WH comeback will affect them and their mental fragility. Also Europe game

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      They have good defensive stats but Spurs haven't blanked since GW1.

    4. pwill40
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      doubtful

    5. sunzip14

      unlikely

    Do you think Barkley will keep pace with Grealish over the next few gamesweeks?

    Trying to work out if I should use the extra money to upgrade Barnes to JRod... or look elsewhere for the funds

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Such a groundhog day topic. No, it's Barkley, he always fizzles out

  20. El Lobito 10
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Seriously considering TC Sterling. He has 6 goals in 3 games v WH, he's a streaky player on form, and City look to be turning a corner

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Also City have scored 22 goals away to WH in the last five games

          Guess it's 22, was including other comps. Seems they have no trouble scoring against them.

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years

      I would answer but "EPL" as a term makes me want to get sick in my mouth

      1. King Carlos

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

      No official statements apart from them saying Pickford will not get any ban, challenge has been deemed fine.

      But there have also been reports saying that David Coote didnt know that he could have given a red for the foul after the offside had been given so the excuse is that he didnt know the rules, this was in mail so make of that what u will.

      As for the mane offside and why it was given no comment as yet

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

    There are some really huge differential opportunities this week.

    Sterling and Aguero vs whu could be huge. Almost no one owns yet alone will captain them this week. Mane has the highest non-penalty xG in the league other than Kane. He's also owned by almost no one.

    The question is, is this week to try the differential captain haul? I'm really struggling to see past Salah.

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling captain here. He loves playing them. Aguero record v them is so so

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Tempted ny sterling, but City without Kdb is not that good

  23. sunzip14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Got exact money for the transfer. What to do with Barnes?

    A) Save FT
    B) Barnes>Grealish

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

      I'd sell for Grealish on FT this week. It's a long term upgrade and you're swapping in Grealish for a favorable fixture vs Barnes' hard one.

    2. pwill40
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Would definitely do A, I am contemplating it for a hit..see below

      1. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        B* I mean

  24. Fortune
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    which transfer is more urging given my current squad?

    martinez - 4.0
    taa - robbo - justin - taylor - mitchel
    son - kai - foden - barnes - 4.5
    jimmy - wood - RICHARLISON

    with 5.5 ITB
    richa + 4.5 > brewster + salah (C) for a hit
    richa > kane (c)

    thx in advance

  25. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Barnes to graelish worth a -4?

      Dunno tbh , but this week is a good week for a -4. Think there are going to be a lot of hits as people clamber for Kane

    Lads, a quick help here:
