You won’t have to pay a penny to enter FanTeam‘s latest Freeroll event, which gives Fantasy managers the chance to compete for a £1,000 prize pool on Boxing Day.

To the layman, this is a Fantasy tournament that effectively gives entrants the chance to build a six-a-side ‘Free Hit’ squad for the first five matches of Gameweek 19:

There is a jackpot of £420 up for grabs and prizes awarded down to 12th place.

The deadline is at 15:00 GMT on Sunday.

Head to the FanTeam lobby and look for the ‘FANTEAM’S FESTIVE BOXING DAY FREEROLL – [BIG THANKS TO ALL OUR PLAYERS]’ link (seen below) to enter:

SCOUT PICKS FOR GAMEWEEK 19

£1,000 on offer in FanTeam's free-to-play Boxing Day Fantasy event 4

HOW TO PLAY: A BRIEF GUIDE

Different from the usual squad-based games, FanTeam managers are given a budget of €90m to build a team of six players from any position. A maximum of three players per club is permitted.

These half-dozen assets then score points as they would in FPL (more below) based on their on-field achievements.

Here are some notable things to consider in the otherwise easy-to-play game:

  • There is no bench or manual substitutes; instead, there is a ‘Safety Net’ feature. If a player in your Fantasy team isn’t in the starting XI for their side, they will automatically be substituted for the next priced player from the same position and club.
  • A ‘Stacking Penalty’ is given if you have two or more defensive players from the same club and they keep a clean sheet. One point is deducted for each additional asset that you select from the same side.
  • Captains and vice-captains score 1.5 and 1.2 times the points respectively – but also cost 50% and 20% more!

HOW DOES THE SCORING WORK?

FPL managers looking for a way to make their knowledge pay will have no trouble picking up FanTeam‘s Gameweek 19 Freeroll, with its familiar scoring system.

Think of it as FPL without the bonus points, with a few other exceptions such as shots on target, winning/losing impact points and ‘stacking penalties’ – detailed in the graphic above.

    Is Dennis to Broja worth a hit if it means not playing Livramento against WHU?

  2. jay01
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    If i cant afford KDB, who is rhe best one off City mid to get?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Silva on both form and total points.

      Many would say Foden.

      1. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Foden/Mahrez - coin toss

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling IMO

  3. yousunkmybattleship
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bernardo or Foden on a FH?

    (have Mount, Spurs and Arsenal)

  4. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is Ronaldo likely to play tomorrow?

    Any coronavirus news for Newcastle or Manchester United?

    1. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Won’t be news until tomorrow

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Um, how can anyone know a definitive answer to this?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I was wondering if I'd missed any cases at either club, reported so far?

  5. Tsssst
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Who to captain?

    Son
    Martinelli
    Lacazette
    Bilva
    Antonio

    1. fricky_
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Son.

  6. Atwood
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Mahrez too risky? On FH and don’t know which City mid to get.

    1. Onana Whatsmyname
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I went for KDB and Sterling

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

      High risk/reward. It fine on FH if you have a full playing bench to cover no-show.

    3. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I reckon Pep gives him a game before he goes for AFCON. Not like he benefits from resting him

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'd say give it a go if you have bench cover, to me you have to take some punts on FH

  7. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Cap son or Ronaldo?

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

      Ronaldo

    2. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Son

    3. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Conclusive

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Very

    4. fricky_
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Son

  8. mdm
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bowen or Martineli?

  9. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Which Of these moves this week for free?

    1. Salah > KDB (will go back to Salah next week)
    2. Jota > Foden
    3. Jota > Bowen

    1. Onana Whatsmyname
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      1 for me

  10. VaVaVoom14
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on this free hit team: Rate out of 10 and advise on improvements?

    De gea
    Cancelo Reguilon Tierney
    Mahrez Gundogan Son Martinelli Saka
    Kane(c) Ronaldo

    (Steele Lamptey Duffy Davis)

    1. Onana Whatsmyname
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Those 2 city mids could easily have limited minutes. KDB is the man

  11. Johnny too hotty
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Let’s not forget captain chat.
    Son against a ravaged pally
    Ronny against lowly Newcastle

    You can see United Making hard working of the toon. Ronny getting beaten up.

    Feel son is key this week

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah Son probably if they are fielding second choice players etc.
      Someone a few pages back was saying it’s going to be 5-0

      1. Mr Arsenal
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        It’s Spurs playing - they’re pretty rubbish so could easily be a 1-1

    2. Onana Whatsmyname
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      KDB for me

    3. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Depends how well Palace park the bus

    4. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I think Palace will be well organised and defend for their lives whereas Newcastle might have a go at Utd and leave themselves open

      1. Johnny too hotty
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Interesting. I guess eddie howe would probably see it that way too with his style right.
        United leak goals and he’s fairly attacking.
        You changed my mind now. Maybe Ronny C and Son VC

  12. King of Kings.
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    On a WC. Who do you like better out of King and Pukki?

    (Can afford to bench this week)

  13. melvinmbabazi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    What to do with this team this week? Haven't paid much attention recently

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    James, Cancelo, Dalot, Livra, (TAA**)
    ESR, Bowen, D.Luiz ,Salah**, (Jota**)
    Ronaldo Laca (Dennis**)

    £0.1m ITB, 1FT

    Do I play FH??

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Use your ft...

      Hold off fh.

  14. Jump in Micah
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone thinking of taking out TAA until GW22?

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No chance

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

      Look up the score that TAA got away at Leicester 2 seasons ago first.

    3. Ray85
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Nope! Made that mistake once already...

    4. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      God no. You are still drunk from yesterday.

      1. Jump in Micah
        • 12 Years

        🙂

  15. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    What do you reckon I should do?

    a) Watkins, Salah, Alonso --> Ronaldo, Bowen, Cancelo (-8) - Field 11

    b) Wakins, Salah, Jota --> Ronaldo, Son, Martinelli (-8) - Field 11

    c) Watkins and Salah --> Ronaldo and Bowen (-4) - Field 10

    d) Free hit with triple Spurs in!

    1. Johnny too hotty
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Why transfer out Watkins. He’s playing

  16. SuperDan
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I forget. If I made 2 transfers then used FH. They get reverted back next week right?

    1. Ray85
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

    2. mad_beer ✅
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, all FTs made prior to activating FH get reversed.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      You revert to the team you had at the very beginning of the GW.

  17. Delta Varane'iant
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Been wanting to shift Bernado / Foden for a little while now but can't decide who to shift....

    Foster/Ramsdale
    TAA/Tierney/Cancelo/James/Livra
    Salah/Jota/Saka/Bernado/Foden/
    Watkins/Denis/Jiminez

    To get Son / CR7 in, Salah and Jimi gotta go. But leaves me short.
    James - Duffy. Chelsea have been shaky at the back, plus blanks etc.
    Bernado/Foden to Ramsey. Free up some funds, but don't want to miss out on the Leicester hauls....

    Thoughts?

    1. Manani
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Just keep unless you are on WC/FH

  18. 7shadesofsmoke
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Ramsdale
    Reguilon Cancelo James Telles
    Son Mahrez Silva Martinelli
    Kane Ronaldo

    Odegard Locadia non playing def, non playing gk.

    Team good to go?

  19. Manani
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Martinelli or Saka

    James or Tierny (have ramsdale)

    Johnson or BDavies

    1. Ray85
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Martinelli James and Davies

  20. Ray85
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is Antonio to Ronaldo worth a -8? Also have Watkins...

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I’d say its worth a hit

  21. OverTinker
    • 5 Years

    2. mad_beer ✅
      • 9 Years

      That was my situation and I hit the FH button this morning.

    3. Sailboats
      • 8 Years

  24. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 3 Years

    1. Oggle22
      • 7 Years

      Have both worried neither will start

  25. olabola
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Any news or rumours on Antonio starting?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Only that's he's unlikely to, per Moyes.

      1. Oggle22
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Weres this?

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          https://www.hampshirelive.news/sport/football/football-news/west-ham-michail-antonio-southampton-6395009

          “He has no symptoms and I have to say that he is double vaccinated,” added Moyes, when asked if his striker could play again during the Christmas period.

          “For all those things hopefully we might have him back, yes. The rules have changed so I think he will have a chance.

          “I never said Boxing Day though, I said over Christmas. I will find out more a little bit later on and we’ll see.”

  26. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Was going A, now thinking B…

    A) Salah > Son(C) 10 players

    B) Salah, Dennis > Bowen, Ronaldo(C) -4, 11 players

    Thanks

  27. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Salah to Ronaldo -4?

    Yah or Nah?

  28. BigKeith
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    a) ESR> Martinelli
    b) Gallagher> Martinelli
    c) Antonio> Jesus/Broja

  29. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Have 9 players at the minute, too risky to take a hit for Ronaldo? I think I want to keep the player I'd be transferring out for him so I'm thinking I should leave it but it's Newcastle so it could pay off well. Other option is move Allan out (finally) to anyone up to 5.5m.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      If you want to keep Salah(?) for next GW, keep him. Just captain someone else.

      A 5.5m mid over Allan sounds good. Martinelli jumps out at that price obviously, although may not play every upcoming game.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I don't need to move Salah to bring in Ronaldo if that helps, I'm definitely keeping him. Cheers though

  30. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bench one:

    A) White
    B) Davies
    C) Martinelli
    D) Broja

    Thank you!
