This is a tournament that essentially gives Fantasy managers the chance to build a ‘Free Hit’ squad for nine specified upcoming Gameweek 8 matches:

HOW TO ENTER

HOW TO PLAY: A BRIEF GUIDE

Slightly different from the usual squad-based games, FanTeam managers are given a budget of £105m to build a team of 11 players that includes at least one goalkeeper, three defenders, two midfielders and one forward.

If a player in your team isn’t in the starting XI for their side, the ‘Safety Net’ feature will automatically be enabled – replacing that player with the next priced player from the same position and club.

Captains score double, as normal.

A full list of rules is found in the image below:

HOW DOES THE SCORING WORK?

FPL managers looking for a way to make their knowledge pay will have no trouble picking up this event, with its familiar scoring system.

Think of it as FPL without the bonus points, with a few other exceptions such as win/lose points and rewards for shots on target – these are detailed in the graphic below:

    Would you play

    D.Luiz or Semedo I have Saä

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not much in it, both are probably going to be 1-2pts. Go for Semedo since he is atleast sure to start.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      S

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

      Semedo

  2. Are you Shaw?
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Cancelo or TAA? That is the question

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Both is the answer

      1. Squib
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Correct on that I'd say

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Are you Shaw?

  3. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    On a WC - James or Laporte this week?

    Will sub in James next week. Or is it mad planning a sub?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      James then

  4. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Thinking of Marcal to Laporte for 1 FT now that Rudiger is not playing. Thoughts?

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger* Marcal (Livramento)

    Salah Saka Sarr Gray (Mendy)

    Ronaldo Lukaku (Perica)

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Use Livramento?

      1. Kryptonite666
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yes. But don’t want to play Marcal. Livramento will come in for Rudi.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          If Marcal is expected to start, then he should be fine vs Villa. Decent CS chance.

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

      Hold. Downgraing Ron and upgrading Sarr next week would look great

  5. Aaa
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Rudiger and Pogba -> Cancelo and Mount? (-4) can’t afford just Rud to Cancelo.

    Otherwise just start Liv or Harrison

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Why get rid of Rudiger ? Can you get another playing player somehow.

    2. nadman89
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      rud to laporte then?

  6. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Don't THINK wildcard is needed... yet. 1FT 3.1 ITB, Tsimikas to Cancelo??? & Sarr first sub if Raph misses out.

    Sanchez (Steele)
    Tierney Rudiger** Semedo (Livramento Tsimikas)
    Salah Benrahma Gray Raphinha* (Sarr)
    Ronaldo Antonio Jimenez

    Cheers all & GL!

    1. mdm
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes and I would play Sarr over Raph

  7. Pep's Money Laundry

    Foster; Duffy, Livramento, Brownhill

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Solid. Not really.

  17. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Best replacement for Bamford 9.2m?

    Own Lukaku & Antonio

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Jimenez

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

      Next week Toney.

      This week for a one week punt, Maupay, Wilson, Jiminez

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Is DCL fit? WHU and WAT next

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        No

  18. dekikide
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is Rudiger in for a longer injury?
    I have 1 FT I can transfer him out for free, but I do have someone on bech that can step up

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Back injuries are the sort which can drag on. But it didn't sound bad originally

  19. ‘Tis the Season
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Surely D Luiz is a trap…

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hmm a solid bench option but nothing else in my eyes

    2. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Expectations so low it cannot be a trap unless he's suddenly dropped

    3. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not necessarily a trap but waste of 0.2m if you ask me

  20. Bishopool
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Hei guys!

    But for real. Jesus and Torres out, home game. Who will be starting upfront and scoring his ass off?

    a) Bernardo
    b) Sterling
    c) Foden
    d) Grealish
    e) KDB
    f) Mahrez

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      F

    2. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

  21. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A. Foden and 4.4 striker (fodder)
    or
    B. Antonio and 4.4 midfielder

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      definitely B. You would want the fodder to actually play minutes in case you need him.

    3. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B wow easy

    4. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

  22. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Best option?

    A) Antonio, Foden

    B) Hwang, Son

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I like B more. Son and Hwang will likely be in my wildcard team come deadline

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

    4. Abaddon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

  23. Big Hands Barry
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which combo is better
    A) Azpil and Saka
    B) James and Mount

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

    2. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A for me

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

      A

  24. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is it right to start Raphina and hope for something from a cameo or play Livramento?

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Y

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Start him

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If he doesn't start which is likely, then Livramento's chance of a cs increases, especially with Bamford also out. Both are on my bench, but Livramento first sub.

    4. Maverick 11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I got rid for foden

  25. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Narrowed it down to this:

    Ramsdale / Foster
    TAA / Dias / Azpilicueta / Livramento / _________
    Salah / Son / Raphinha / Luiz / _________
    Antonio / Armstrong / _________

    A. Cancelo, Foden, Toney
    B. Duffy, Mbeumo, Vardy

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A but don't be surprised if B give you more points this week

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thank you, mate!

  26. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    How many differentials do you aim for on a WC? And what % ownership do you define as differential?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      To me a differential is a player who very few others have in ML. In saying that if we’re talking about a general sense I’d say one that’s owned by roughly >10%

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I'm talking general. 10% seems reasonable.

        I don't focus on ML at all, focus on OR and let the ML handle themselves

  27. MattB
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    TAA, Cancelo, Reguillon (Duffy, Livramento)
    Salah, Foden, Benrahma, Raphina (Allen)
    Toney, Ronaldo, Jiminez

    Any suggestions with the 1FT?
