Free tickets up for grabs in FanTeam’s Real Madrid v Chelsea Fantasy game


Sponsored by FanTeam


The European Super League is dead (or, at least, sleeping); long live the UEFA Champions League.

We’re down to the last four in Europe’s still-premier club cup competition and there’s Premier League representation in both semi-finals, with Chelsea facing Real Madrid and Manchester City taking on Paris Saint-Germain.

The Blues are in action first and FanTeam are running Fantasy events for the Tuesday evening match at the Bernabeu, with something to suit those on different budgets.

€25k in prize money up for grabs in the advertised tournament above, with a cool €2,500 going to the winner and managers finishing in the first 288 places even getting prize money.

Entries are €20 (or £18 in British money).


But there is another, identical-to-play tournament that costs just €2/£1.80 to enter – or nothing at all for those signing up to FanTeam for the first time.

And even if you’re already a seasoned FanTeam user, you could still be entering for diddly squat.

FREE TICKETS

That’s because 50 free €2 tickets are being given away by FanTeam ahead of Tuesday’s match in Madrid.

HOW TO PLAY

FanTeam‘s contest for Real Madrid v Chelsea will be played in Pursuit format.

In Pursuit, you can choose any players you like without a budget constraint. Instead, every Fantasy asset is assigned some Bonus Points, which are added or subtracted to the player’s Gameweek score – a bit like a handicapping system.

This means that star players start with a disadvantage, while underdogs will give you points right off the bat.

Captains get double playing and bonus points, while vice-captains are awarded 1.5 times their returns.

There are two other aspects worthy of mention at this point:

  • Stacking Penalty: If you decide to double (or even triple) up on goalkeepers/defenders from the same team, you’ll receive one fewer clean sheet point for every extra player you select.
  • Safety Net: There is no bench or autosubs in Pursuit mode. Instead, any selected player who fails to start will be replaced by a team-mate from the same club, in the same position, with an equal or cheaper price.

If you are new to this style of Fantasy management, FanTeam have plenty of material to help you get up to speed:

SCORING SYSTEM

FPL managers looking for a way to make their knowledge pay will have no trouble picking up FanTeam‘s familiar scoring system.

Think of it as FPL without the bonus points, with a few other exceptions – detailed in the graphic above.

HOW TO ENTER

    Top, top, wish my score was the same.

    Best cheap striker for 34, 36, 37 and 38? (FH in 35)
    Thinking of using my transfer this week to get rid of Watkins. My budget is 7.4M. Tempted by Bamford! Also DCL could be interesting if his value drops from 7.5 to 7.4. My other strikers are Kane and Iheanacho.

    Considering DGW35 and BGW36, thoughts on Jota to some AV or Everton mid ?

    1. vova
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      nobody from the Villa midfield really stands out, I guess James or Siggy from Everton is a decent shout.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years

      Al ghazi could be worth a punt..saves cash for upgrading elsewhere

  4. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    29k now

    Tc Still left. Top 10k possible right??

    A) oh yes it is

    B) oh no it isnt

    1. vova
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      sure it is, with a bit of luck

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      How many points off top 10k is that? 35+?

      I think it’s possible but very difficult

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I’m at 20k which is 23 points behind top 10k with no chips.m left

        I still have hope but will have to have 5 good weeks. 1 bad week and it’s over

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A: I guess. How many points between 29k & 10k btw? Where's your TC going?

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Around 37

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Tough, but doable with some good fortune

  5. vova
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Hey guys, who should I bench from this lot?

    Ederson Sanchez
    TAA Castagne Reguilon Coady Konsa
    Fernandes Son Jota Lingard Saka
    Kane Watkins Iheanacho

    Coady, Konsa and Watkins?

    Thanks!

    1. Silicon Vialli
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Similar problem. I'd bench Saka over Watkins

  6. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    A bruno to son
    B greenwood to son -4
    C save, kane is enough

  7. gellinmagellan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on Bale for this game?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Good differential IF we get some certainty that he starts

  8. tafrère
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    In your opinion, getting rid of Bruno to afford Kane (C) for a -4, is it logical or just completely stupid to ditch Bruno regardless of form and fixtures ?

    Other options to get Kane are downgrading either Salah or Son, which somehow feel even more stupid considering their respective upcoming fixtures...

    But no Kane could break my team...

    1. Silicon Vialli
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Go for it.

      1. tafrère
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers, I'll do it lol

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Kane is a must have for me, so go for it

  9. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I might be the last active player without a Chelsea defender. Praying for some more rotation for Mendy and Rüdiger

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A differential in itself 😉

    2. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I'm with you mate, don't have one either

    3. Louis Van Gaalstones
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I have 2 and regret them both

  10. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is making up 15 pts manageable without relying on luck?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Before the end of the season? Yea of course. Only 3 points a week and the doubles/ blanks will give some opportunity.

      Is this vs 1 individual (in which case very very doable) or versus the entire player pool for overal rank (which would still be doable but a bit harder)

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Currently ranked 30k after a horrible month. 15 pts off the top 20k and 38 off top 10k. Not been a great season at all

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Similar discussion above.

          Top 20k def possible

          Top 10k not impossible but very difficult

        2. tafrère
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Top 30k a horrible season lol ?

          I'm at 70k and would be happy with a top 50k finish. Perspectives haha.

        3. tafrère
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Plus all you need really is 1 very good gameweek in the last 5 and you're through the top 20k.

          1. ActionJackson17
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Anything is possible, I thought I was safe for 1st/2nd in my ML then 4th place came from nowhere. This week he got a bit of WOOD action, 26k to 13k, check the insane amount of Green arrows!! https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/3288388/history

    2. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not really, you can pick all the 'right' players you want but everything that happens after that is outwith your control.
      WIth luck going your way however, you'll shoot back up the rankings.

    Bench one:

    A) Greenwood
    B) Jota

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years

      Wait to see if Greenwood starts in Europa league. If he does then bench him

      1. jg7u
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Good point, thanks.

    2. drughi

      jota

  13. mcsteely
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Would you go Bruno to Son this week?

    1. Steiger
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I've just done that exact move.
      So it's a yes from me.

    2. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      For free, possibly. Not for a hit

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bruno might have a DGW35, you took that into equation?

      1. mcsteely
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Will FH that week, or whenever the double is

  14. gellinmagellan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Leno Forster
    TAA Shaw Rudiger Lowton Holding
    Salah Jota Lingard Bruno Son
    Nacho Vardy Vydra

    2 FTs, BB left

    0.4 short of Vardy > Kane meaning I'll have to downgrade someone so thinking of sticking with Vardy. Thoughts?

  15. Limit80
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Any love for Jesus vs CPL this week?

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not from me. There are better options out there up front, even if he's vs CPL

      1. Limit80
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Who do you recommend? I have Kanacho and Laca, who I'm looking to swap out if injured, up to 9.3

        1. mcsteely
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I'd consider Richarlison, Watkins and Ings in that order

  16. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    So Kane's effective ownership likely to be through the roof again this week. Anyone not captaining him?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not me

  17. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Have I got my lineup right this week?

    Struggling to decide. (FanTeam where Jota is a forward).

    Mendy
    TAA Castagne Dias
    Salah Fernandes Son Greenwood Lingard
    Kane Iheanacho
    (Forster Jota Fofana Coady)

    That bench looks pretty good... debating TAA. Worth risking it by playing Fofana and doubling on Leicester def?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I'd keep it as it is. United vs Top6 always has a big chance of a 0-0

    2. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nah keep imo.

    3. Guba
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Definitely start TAA imo.

  18. ChelseaGuy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    If ManUtd has a DGW35
    Would you do Bruno to Son?

    Bruno - LIV, avl + LEI
    Son - SHU, lee

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No

  19. SomeoneKnows
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Martinez (Forster)
    TAA, Rudiger, Fofana (Coady, Coufal)
    Salah, Bruno, Son, Lingard (Jota)
    Kane, Iheanacho, Wood

    With 2FT at hand any transfer suggestions?

    1. Limit80
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Good BB team. Maybe Bruno to sigurdsson or bale?

      1. SomeoneKnows
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Already used my BB two weeks ago and gained 13 points...

        Not sure about dropping Bruno, his EO is very high and could be very damaging. Actually considering Jota to Siggy but same concern applies

  20. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Jota hattrick this weekend no doubt

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He very well could, he will be on my bench.

  21. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is Pereira a good pick for this week?

    10 points behind the leader of my mini league... Still have Free hit available.

    Thoughts on my next move?

    Martinez
    Rudiger - Dallas - TAA
    Son - Salah - Lingard - Maddison
    Kane - DCL - Iheanacho

    subs: Forster - Veltman - AWB - Jota

  24. Daghe Munegu
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Do I need Kane?
    I have only 1ft and 0.2 itb so would require a hit then

    Jota Salah Greenwood Son Bruno
    Vardy Nacho Vydra

  25. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Yes or No;

    Jota > Lingard?

    Cheers.

  26. DannyDrinkVodka

    Hi

    I have Mendy and Forster as my keepers, I am concerned that with Chelsea in a BGW I don't have back up keeper as I am not sure Forster will start.

    Should I transfer this week?

    A. Forster > Johnstone
    B Forster to someone else 4.5M
    C. Leave as is and don't have a keeper for the BGW?

    Thanks

  30. pingissimus

    Not 100% sure if I've been clicking the buttons correctly but these combined ownership figures from LiveFPL are fascinating

    Bruno + Son = 30%
    Bruno + Son + Kane = 15%
    Bruno + Son + Kane + Mo = 3%

    Those are for overall ownership and I imagine it shifts fairly radically for active players. Is there a way to find these out for different tiers? The only info I can find is for EO which is skewed by the BGW and captaincy.

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Top 10k - https://www.livefpl.net/top10k_ownership

      Bruno + Son + Kane + Mo jumps to 28.48%

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Ty

        Much lower than I'd have guessed. I assume it'll jump a bit with Vardy Kane transfers being reversed but some will no doubt do the Bruno Son swap too.

        Overall template strong of course but the Son Kane combined ownership being just over 50% is surprisingly low.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah was definitely expecting it to be a bit higher, even less in Mods and Cons, just 11.43% now (4 managers). Suppose as quite a few players have been struggling for form it's been the likes of Son sacrificed in search of differentials.
