You’ll have no doubt heard by now that FanTeam are staging a ‘Second Chance’ Premier League Fantasy game for the latter half of this season, starting from Gameweek 22 on January 14th.

This gives a fresh chance for managers to win a huge cash prize if their original season-long team has already fallen way behind. And, remarkably, it’s completely free to play!

There is a guaranteed prize pool of £100,000 in this Fantasy tournament, with £20,000 going to the winner and money for anyone finishing in the top 4,000.

However, there is also £1,000 in prize money available just for Fantasy Football Scout users! The prize breakdown is as follows:

  • 1st: £400
  • 2nd: £200
  • 3rd: £100
  • 4th: £50
  • 5th: £30
  • 6th-10th: £20
  • 11th-15th: £10
  • 16th-20th: £5

There is also £50 in prize money for the FFScout managers who top-score in each of the first two Gameweeks.

WHAT ARE THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES TO FPL?

Here’s the great news: anyone with any sort of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) experience should be able to pick up FanTeam’s game without issue. The rules, scoring and prices are very similar, shown in detail below.

It’s essentially FPL but with huge cash prizes. Given that paid entry mini-leagues are now strongly discouraged by the Premier League, the FanTeam game offers Fantasy managers a legitimate opportunity to make money from their management expertise.

Unlike the main FanTeam game, this involves building a team of 11 players rather than a squad of 15. Therefore the 100.0m budget is now down to 80.0m. There must be at least one goalkeeper, three defenders, two midfielders and one forward.

A maximum of three players from a single Premier League team can be selected.

One free transfer is allowed each Gameweek, with every additional transfer costing minus four points. FanTeam managers have one Wildcard to use, allowing unlimited free transfers during its week of activation.

Additionally, a captain and vice-captain has to be nominated every week; the player handed the armband will score double points.

All sound very familiar? That’s because the two games are largely the same – although there are a handful of differences to watch out for.

KEY RULES DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FANTEAM AND FPL

  • Player prices can rise and fall based on form and in-game transfer movement but, unlike in FPL, a player’s ‘sell price’ is the same as their ‘purchase price’.
  • Other than the Wildcard, there aren’t any chips in FanTeam.
  • There is no limit to how many free transfers you can save up, unlike FPL allowing no more than two.
  • The ‘Safety Net’ feature makes up for the lack of substitutes. If your player doesn’t start a match, he’ll automatically be replaced by the next-priced (descending) starter in that team’s position who did. For example, if midfielder Mohamed Salah was rested, he would be switched for a cheaper Liverpool midfielder who played, like Sadio Mane.

HOW DO PLAYERS SCORE POINTS?

Seasoned FPL managers should have no problem in adjusting to FanTeam and running a squad with its familiar scoring system, shown above.

KEY SCORING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FANTEAM AND FPL

  • There is no Bonus Points System, which is replaced by plus/minus points (+0.3/-0.3) 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.
  • Shots on target that don’t end up as goals are rewarded (+0.4 for midfielders and forwards, +0.6 for defenders)

    Any news on Foden fitness ? Thanks

      He's, allegedly, been seen training this week.

    Foster going to get no.1 spot back?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No chance

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

        Why….?

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          The argument on here seems to be based upon the fact that people own him, the reality is that Bachmann was first choice at the beginning of the season and is a better keeper.

          Foster is nearly 39 and at best a PL bench player due to his experience. I doubt we will see much of him again any time soon.

    2. Fuddled FC
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Eventually i would imagine but that's probably nit helpful for this week

    3. ronty
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ranieri did mention to change things up. Plus Foster anyways is an all-round better GK than Bachmann.

    Think I'm just gonna do Fabianski to DDG. Too much uncertainty to -4 anything.

    DDG
    TAA, Rudiger, Cancelo
    Moura, Bernardo, Bowen, Jota
    King, Watkins, Antonio

    (Guaita, White, Livramento, [Salah])

    1. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Who gets the armband?

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

        Bowen or Jota I reckon

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

    Play Bilva or get Dennis for a -4 just in case the DGW goes ahead?

    1. Devos
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Play Bilva

  6. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    DDG - Bachmann

    TAA - Cancelo - Dawson - White - Livramento

    Jota - Maddison - Gundogan - Bowen - Raphinha

    Ronaldo - Antonio - Broja

    4.0 ITB, annoyingly did Son to Maddison this morning, would you -4 to bring anyone else in or leave it as it is?

    1. mrelpea
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I’d just take it on the chin and write it off. No point in taking another hit with all the uncertainty around this GW

    2. FPLrookie2009
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Keep him as he may get DGW next few games!

  7. Pep Roulette

    Does Ragnick have presser before deadline?

    1. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Think its at 1 pep

    2. DLLM

    Seriously conflicted about whether to do Ramsdale >> Ddg or not...4 fix vs 7 fix till gw27 should be a no brainer?

    A: Ramsdale >> Ddg (-4)
    - ddg has 7 fix till gw27 whereas ramsdale will have 4 as he bgw25/27
    - is there a chance ramsdale gets a dgw23?
    - is there a chance that ramsdage's bgw25 fix gets moved to midweek?
    - Lose 0.3m on ramsdale..and ramsdale has the higher ceiling

    B: Foster >> Sanchez (-4)
    - plays dgw22 and covers ramsdale blanks in gw25/27
    - will cost 0.2m more and potentially prices me out of salah move in dgw24 unless salah drops 0.1m but tbf, lots might change by gw24.

    1. Fuddled FC
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Depends if you think Foster will get his spot back.?
      If he does by gw 25 your problem is sorted!

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      The United Nations was created to solve serious conflicts. Best of luck.

  9. DLLM
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Oh my captain to be maddison….maybe would just cap sgw like bowen.

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

    Mount or Lucas or someone else as a Martinelli replacement?

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

      I would just hold martinelli

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

    Is capping DDG now an option?

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

      Man U defence? What time did you start drinking?

      1. bigwig
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        tbf the Utd have looked better under Ralph but worse going forward

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          It's not the worst idea in this farce of a gameweek.

    2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It's a cry for help, but it's my cry for help dammit

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

    Foster likely to get the nod back in goals, right?

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Nah. Bachmann has been good lately.

  13. Malkmus
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    A'noon all. So, which is best, FH team or -8 Team:

    1.) FH Team:
    Sanchez
    Trent - Rudi - Cancelo
    Moura - Jota - Bowen - Mount
    CR7 - Kane - Dennis

    Subs - Dalot, 4.5, 4.5

    2.) -8 Team:
    Sanchez
    Trent - Rudi - Cancelo
    Moura - Jota - Bowen - Mount
    Kane - Dennis - Antonio

    Subs - Bsilva, dalot, coufal

    -4 would be Watkins instead of Kane

    Ta !

    1. outernational
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      -4 team looks good. Wouldn't free hit and not sure Kane is worth the -8 considering the NLD is in doubt.

      1. Malkmus
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        OK, thanks

  14. Cheeky Onion
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    1 FT & 0.5m ITB

    DDG
    Cancelo - TAA - Reguilon
    Son* - Bowen - Foden - Martinelli - Silva
    Ronaldo - Watkins

    Bachmann - Coufal - White - Locaida*

    Was originally going to do Locaida + Son > Dennnis + Jota/Gray/Raph (-4)

    Still the right move? If so, which mid do you go for?

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Jota.

      1. Cheeky Onion
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        The smart move. Only thing I don't like is that my ML leader also has him and I need to makeup points. Might have to look elsewhere for differentials tho

        1. Bunk Moreland
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I get that, but he is a super strong pick. He is producing like Mane, who is priced at 12 million. So i think you should find a different spot to differentiate. I'm all for punts though, you gotta decide

  15. fplgaruda
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    When in doubt... Toney (C)

    1. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Brave!

    2. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      San(C)hez her thanks to my Son -> Maddison last night 😀

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      He got 2 points total in his DGW vs Villa and Southampton

      Good luck vs Liverpool and Man U

  16. Sterling Archer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Current DGW players

    King - could now be a SGW
    Toney - Will play 180 minutes but get 2 yellows and get 2 points

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No points for you!

      1. Sterling Archer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        have plenty decent SGW players though 🙂

  17. Legohair
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Ronaldo&Son to Bruno&Kane good move for a hit?

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I will probably do this.

    2. alfast1c
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ronaldo wont play ?

    3. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ronaldo will probably be the most captained player this week. If he plays, you won't feel great - but if he is out, you will feel great.

  18. Eastman
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Son to who for a -4 (up to 9.7m)
    Have Jota, Maddison, Bowen and Foden

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Thin pickings. For one GW only, I'd consider Mount. Longer term, maybe Tielemans as Foxes will have a lot of games to catch up on.

    2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Trossard

      1. Eastman
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yes it's difficult. Trossard has good fixtures going forward too I notice.

  19. andre_c
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Watkins, Martinelli to Dennis, Mount -4?

  20. BlzE_94
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Play one:
    A) B.Silva
    B) Maddison
    C) Coufal

    1. outernational
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Tough one. Probably B.

  21. DIMITRIS
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    What's better:
    A) Keane and Bilva out for TAA and Mount in
    B) Keane and Bilva out for Varane and Bruno in

  22. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    What’s the story with Spurs v Arsenal? Is it going ahead? Chances of a cancellation?

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Arteta presser at 2

    2. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Arsenal have this squad for sunday (unless something changes):

      Ramsdale
      Holding, Mari, Gabriel, White, Tavares, Tierney
      Lokonga
      Lacazette, Nketiah, Martinelli

      10 outfield players.

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Cedric and Saka subbed due to 'injuries'.
        Xhaka banned
        Chambers with problems late in the game.

        Can't imagine any of the other bench options from last night counts as 'experienced players'

        1. Salarrivederci
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Add in fatique as a factor when th board decides, and this looks pretty clear to me after Everton - Leicester and Burnley - Leicester has been postponed.

      2. Firmino
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        +Chambers, Saka, ESR, Tomiyasu

        1. Salarrivederci
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Are they cleared for sunday?

      3. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        What about Chambers? And do the clubs need 13 players including the goalkeeper? If so that's very close to getting postponed. I would say higher chances the game doesn't happen than that it does

  23. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Candidate for the most chop and change GW ever? I'm sure there's still more to come as well...

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

      For sure.

  24. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I own Salah* and Son*. I don't own a premium striker. What do?

    A) Son, Broja > Maddison, Kane -4 (keep Salah)
    B) Salah, Broja > Raphinha, Ronaldo -4 (keep Son)
    C) Salah, Son, Broja > Maddison, Raphinha, Ronaldo -8
    D) Salah, Son > any 2 midfielders (e.g. KDB, Maddison) -4

    1. Quan MisTaka
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldnt get Maddison now

  25. Quan MisTaka
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking of doing

    Ronaldo + Son > Mount + Kane this week
    and then immediatly moving both out for
    Mount + Kane > Foden + Dennis

    Would be for a hit each week.

    Are these moves worth the -8?

  26. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    If Ronaldo is out
    Just play 4-2-3-1 with Bruno as CAM it's tested and it works.
    Last 2 seasons Solksjaer's Utd was better attacking wise with this formation than what Ragnick was shown so far

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

    So a reasonable chance the Burnley v Watford game gets called of too … removing the tasty King Dennis DGW …., thinking maybe just go with the good SGW options as C … Bowen, Antonio, TAA or Jota ?

    1. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, but not Antonio surely

  28. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Really happy with the early Son to Maddison move last night...!

    Laca to Kane before deadline so expect that fixture to be canned.

  29. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Midfielder to get A) Bruno if Ron out?
    B) mount of Ron plays?

  30. BIGREDDOG
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Who to captain..?
    Pick 1: DDG/Alonso/Ronaldo/Bruno/King

    1. Eastman
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'm going Bruno
