Additional £1k in FanTeam prize money exclusive for FFScout users


Sponsored by FanTeam


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.

****To be eligible for the FFScout prize pool, enter a team in the Second Chance game and complete this form here (Your FanTeam username can be found in the “Profile” section within FanTeam, on the top-right corner of the homepage)****

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 Spurs fans think Son out is good for Moura minutes and position?

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Possibly. But it's not good for Spurs.

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

      Because of DGW I've switched to him.

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

      Not a Spurs fan but yes to both

    4. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Good for minutes but I expect some sort of change of formation. I think 523 is more likely now than 532.

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

      It's bad for Spurs whatever way you look at it. And the 2 fixtures are tough. I would not even touch Spurs assets but obviously keep if you have any who are going to play.

  2. King of Kings.

    Leicester going SGW has made me look at this again.... Who would you start from the following?

      Awesome - finally some positive news!

  6. OptimusBlack

    Watford would play just one game ?

  7. RamaJama

    Captain, bench ok?

    Anything worth a -4?

    DDG
    RUDIGER, Cancelo, taa*
    Foden*, Jota, Maddison, Bowen
    DENNIS (VC), KANE (C), Broja*

    Subs: Steele, Bilva, Coufal, White

  8. HaveYassineChikhaoui

    Could Arsenal Vs Burnley GW23 (on current info) also be at risk or is that stretching it?

    1. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It’s 9 days away and most people are getting out of isolation in 7. I think it’s more likely to go ahead than not. The fact that Burnley’s game vs Watford hasn’t been postponed suggests they have some players towards the end of their isolation period or returning to fitness.

  9. sirmorbach

    I'll actually keep Salah.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I might join you.

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

        Join the party of those who are loyal to the King.

          Is it a bring your own booze party?

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

            No booze, Salah wouldn't approve of it.

            1. EmreCan Hustle
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              True.

    2. Thomas Magnum

      Becoming more and more a realistic possibility

        Reassuring coming from you, mate. Cheers.

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

      I think I'm keeping too.

  10. I Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I'm strongly considering de Gea (c) with doubts over whether Kane and Dennis will have two games. Could get Bruno for a hit but he has no form at all. Can't get Ronaldo.

  11. FPL price manipulators are …
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    All eyes on Conte and Arteta press conferences

  12. ExpressoMySonny
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Which is a better son replacement?
    A) Mount
    B) Sterling

  13. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Looks like Ronaldo is fine then

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

      At least I held off Ronaldo -> Kane -4 !

  14. tommo-uk-
    • 11 Years

    Absolute farce of an FPL season again.

  15. Z
    • 6 Years

    Sooo.....Denis will play just one game?

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

      Still set for 2, but could change

  16. niaz1982
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Current team head aches - do I make 2 changes and leave it, or go FH?

    Current line up
    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger
    Son* Salah* Foden* Bowen
    Edouard Antonio Dennis

    Foster, Livra, Duffy, Luiz.

    Do I FH:
    Son/Salah/Foden/Edouard/Antonio/Cancelo > Moura/Maddison/Jota/Kane/DCL/Alonso?

    Take -4:
    Salah, Son > Maddison, Jota
    Salah, Son > Maddison, Moura

    Take -8
    Salah, Son, Foden > Maddison, Moura, Jota

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

      Jota and Mads. Don't lose Foden for another hit

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

      Burnley v Leicester is called off so avoid Maddison

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

    Is Liverpool DGW 24 confirmed?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I think GW26 is a possible DGW (not confirmed); havent heard anything about GW24

  18. dshv
    • 6 Years

    Captain..

    1. Jota
    2. Ronaldo?

    1. EmreCan Hustle

      2

    2. CheesyZoot

  19. JariL
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Just Son out to Lucas and roll the other FT for next week's doubles? At this point worth it to just keep Salah?

    2FT 0.1 ITB

    DDG
    TAA / Cancelo / Reguilon / Emerson
    Son * / Jota / Maddison(C) / Bowen
    Antonio / King

    Rangnick: Ronaldo, Maguire, Sancho, Jones to be available against Aston Villa
    Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Maguire, Jadon Sancho and Phil Jones could be available for their Premier League fixture against Aston Villa on Saturday.

    "I think they will be available. They only trained yesterday for the first time, Cristiano yesterday, Harry I think the day before yesterday. So as a team, we have to wait for the final training session this afternoon, but right now they should be available for tomorrow."

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

    Any suggestions on what to do here? Is Broja to Dennis the best move?

    SANCHEZ
    Dawson | Cancelo | Trent | ALONSO
    Bowen | Gallagher | Bilva | Jota
    Watkins | Antonio

    Ramsdale | Broja | Livra | Salah

    1FT & 2.5 ITB

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Dennis is a good move if their Burnley game is still on

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

        Yeah, it's a no brainer if the Burnley game is on.

  22. Sid07

    Best 6.4 mid for dgw

    1. outernational
      • 9 Years

      Trossard?

      1. Sid07
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Salah + cheap striker to trossad + Ronaldo (-4)??

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

          Hard to say without seeing the rest of your team.

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      All the cheap ones got taken out. Try and get Moura.

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

    a bit strange selling a player then having the game cancelled because of lack of players …

    1. 1-1 at Newcastle
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      his release clause was met...

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

      Not really...
      Would you really keep a player and refuse millions because half your team is sick for one week?

  24. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Ronaldo or Kane if I get Bruno as well?

    1. onceuponatyne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno could have a quad-week and I don't want him.

  25. Flynny

    Hi....any views on best option here please with 0.5mitb? Thanks

    A......son to mount  / raphinha / another mid

    B..... as above. Plus broja to Dennis - 4. Benching foden who may not start....

    Ddg (rams)
    Taa cancelo alonso (diop alonso)
    Foden jota bowen gray (son)
    Antonio Ronaldo (c) (broja)

    1. outernational

      A. Son to Mount

      1. Flynny

        Thanks

  26. Well you know, Triffic
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hopes of a DDG clean sheet evaporate with news of Maguire being back in training.

  27. HaveYassineChikhaoui
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsdale + Smith Row > Sanchez + Raphina for 2ft? Can't think of any other moves that are worth it that don't involve a hit and removing Salah.

  28. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Any truth to the Dennis out rumours?

    1. Thewoodyhorse
      • 9 Years

      back in training yesterday so should be available. After Rashford's performance this week he has a chance to get back in the starting line up

    at this rate I might end up bringing in Lukaku as the ultimate differential in my ML
