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)

    I know we don’t really know but what’s people opinions on chances of Watford’s two games going ahead?

    Want to get Dennis with 1FT (as I think he will do well if goes ahead)

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

      I'm just going to get him

      Even if it's not a DGW they have loads of games in hand

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        A. Antonio > Dennis (Play Gray)
        B. BSilva > Moura (bench Gray)

  2. Birdman77

    It’s 1am in Aus…C’mon Arteta presser news…

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

      Sorry mate, Arteta is busy browsing latest Djoko memes.

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

    Your help in this matter would be appreciated

    Would you WC this team or take a -8 (Salah, Lacazette and James > Jota, Ronaldo and DGW22 DF (which one please?) instead (FH already used in GW21)

    Ramsdale De Gea

    Rudiger Cancelo James Mitchell Tsimikas

    Salah Bernardo Saka Bowen Mbeumo

    Jesus Lacazette Dennis

    1.5 ITB 1 FT

    Any ideas would be welcomed

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

    Hmm...

    Do I just roll FT here?

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo Alonso Semedo
    Jota Bowen Foden Martinelli
    Ronaldo Antonio
    (Ramsdale Watkins Dier Son)

    Could replace Son but don't like any of the options. It also opens the door for Sterling in next week for Son or could just be super patient and wait to replace Son with Salah in GW24.

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

      Itb?

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

        Not enough for Fernandes.

    2. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'm in the similar position with Son. I would rather keep him than sell him for an asset that i dont feel good about, and I already have all mids which are worth bringing in (mads, jota, bowen, foden) ..i wouldn't even bother with Sterling in your case (not nailed and new positive covid cases in city), just keep him as a Salah placeholder, you have enough of a benching headache anyway

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

      Son to Fernandes, and bench Martinelli.

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

        No money for that.

  5. fricky_
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Lloris
    Reg Cancelo Taa
    *Foden Jota Gray Bowen
    DCL Antonio Dennis
    Steele Bjohnson Dalot Salah

    Roll or do Bjohnson> Cucurella because of Foden being a risk?

  6. Manani
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Lucas or Mount?

    will be in for Son

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

      Lucas

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

      Mount

      Doubt Lucas will have DGW

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

      Mount

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

    It just feels so wrong not bringing in an extra DGW player for a hit

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

      Then get one in.

      1. Taegugk Warrior
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Who will to get then… no stand out option atm…

  8. tom2224
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    FML I just transferred in Madison thinking he had a DGW then checked twitter

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

      Shocking

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

      Oh deary dear

    3. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Still a good transfer

  9. Atwood
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Salah/Broja > Moura/Kane (-4)

    Sound good? Undecided between Kane and Ronaldo really.

  10. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Best way to finance Salah & Son >> Bruno & KDB

    Keane > Lamptey
    Watkins > Dennis

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

      Don't finance Bruno and KdB.

      1. Sterling Malory
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        What would you do with Salah and Son then? Currently have Brownhill in my starting xi

        DDG
        TAA Cancelo Dias Keane
        Jota Bowen Brownhill
        Watkins Antonio Edouard
        Foster Livra Son* Salah*

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

      Dont bring in Bruno. Just do Keane to Lamptey.
      Son or Salah to KDB and call it a day

  11. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    DDG
    ALONSO Cancelo Taa Coufal
    Jota Foden Bowen Gray
    KING Antonio
    (Foster Watkins Salah Livra)

    3 DGWers, 1FT & 2.2ITB:

    a) Salah > Bruno
    b) Antonio > Dennis
    c) Salah & Antonio > Mount & Ronaldo (-4)

  12. Gunners in Haaland
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Son+Gelhardt -> Moura+Dennis (-4)?

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

      watford burnley game at risk for sure.

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        thanks

  13. Norco
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    If you have Ronaldo, is Bruno in for Son worth a transfer? Worth a hit?

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No

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

      No
      No
      No

  14. Andrew
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal and the Premier League are in discussions about the status of the north London derby, reports @guardian_sport

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

      FPL really is a lottery at this point

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

      Time to stay clear of Spurs options then

      1. Dammit_182
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Got Regi but I think I just play cancello

    3. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      ‘We’ll we could have played it but our old captain got sent off again and we are now pretty worn out and don’t fancy it’

      1. Black Knights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        And their back up right back got injured, who was covering for their first choice right back with COVID. And Saka went off too.

        And they probably feel aggrieved about Liverpool still so might chance their arm.

    4. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Arteta press conf happening right now. Let's see.

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

      Nothing on their Twitter account

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

      Ah sheeet. Here we go again...

  15. Mweene
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else fancy a cheeky Sancho punt? Don't think I can justify going Antonio to Ronaldo for -4.

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

      I don't no

  16. Malinwa
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Get Ronaldo(-4) for:

    A) Antonio
    B) Toney (DGW)

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

    Comes down to (c) between CR7 and Dennis.

    Go with CR7 after all due to the Burnley vs Watford game doubts?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

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

      ronnie!!
      i dont think burnley will be in a rush to play a 6 pointer if their players are back to training..

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

        *are not back to full training..

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

      I think I would go with Ronald. We seem desperate to call off every game at this point 😀

  18. BantasyFootball
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Livra -> Cucurella (-4)

    OR

    Son -> Bruno (-4)?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Son to bruno

  19. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Only DDG & Davies double gameweek players

    For -4.
    A. Moura
    B. Mount
    C. Bruno

  20. KieranKA
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Which midfielder to go for?

    A: Maddison
    B: Mount
    C: Raphinha
    D: Rashford

    1. tom2224
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely not Rashford

    2. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      C.

  21. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Foden and Silva to Bruno and McAllister for a hit ? Have Ronaldo already. Cheers.

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

      No
      No
      No

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Haha cheers wasn't keen to be honest

  22. tom2224
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Start Dalot or Rudiger?

  23. CROWLEY NOT CRAWLEY
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA, Cancelo, Rudiger
    Foden, Bowen, Jota, Gray, Maddison
    King, Watkins

    Ramsdale, Dias, Coufal, Broja

    0 FT, 8.0 ITB

    A. Take a -4 to do Broja to Ronaldo
    B. Do nothing, play some version of what I already have

  24. putana
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    broja -> DCL (-4) ?

    was going to get in king but double unliekly now

  25. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    So earlier Ronaldo was declared as he has tough injury today at training

    Rangick says he is plz

    Weird

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Rangick says he is fit*

      1. AARON-1
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Simply need to ignore the rumours swirling around on Twitter (some of them deliberately trying to mislead) and get the information from the managers. Don't believe everything you read.

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

          What I thought Twitter was gospel...

    2. Mweene
      • 10 Years

      Wasn't reported by reliable sources though.

    3. panda07

      • 11 Years

      Wha chu talkin' 'bout Willis?

  26. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Moura or Trossard on WC?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Absolutely not

  27. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Son, Davis, Johnson to Moura, DCL, Cucurella worth a -8? Could do with def cover in case Reguilon doesn't play

  28. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Great. Maddison vs Spurs only. Serves me right for making the early transfers

    1. tom2224
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I did it after the news had been released if that helps ease your pain.

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Still a good a transfer.

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

      Or not see below

    1. El Presidente

      Oh oh...

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Reliable?

  29. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Which of these DGW mids to bring in? Probs gonna captain whoever I choose since Dennis double is doubtful.

    A) Bruno
    B) Trossard
    C) Mount
    D) Jorginho

    1. AARON-1
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      From that list, it has to be Bruno. He is decent let's not forget. He can spark into life. Whether he will or not is the question. The other three on your list have games against Chelsea or City therefore not ideal candidates.

      1. *Reformed-Character*
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        hes not had an attacking return since gameweek 10.....
