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)

    Man United under Rangnick:
    Played: 7
    Scored more than once: 1

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

      Due

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

    How likely we have some doubles GW23?

    1. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Villa I think the most likely, but don't know how likely (and prediction is a mug's game it turns out!)

    2. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Even if called, will any go ahead?

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

    Transfers confirmed for -8.

    Livra, Son, Locadia > Maguire, Mount, Dennis

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

      Maguire???????

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

    Any update on Broja?
    Not sure of the -4 for Broja to Dennis any more

  5. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Kane >> Ronaldo(C) if spurs game postponed?

    1. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      maybe for a FT but not for a -4

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

      Quite simply, Ronaldo is not an especially dangerous player. He has pens but so does Kane. And United are very disjointed

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

    Exact funds for Son and Wilson to Bruno and Maupay -4

    Giving me this team:

    DDG
    Cancelo, Keane, TAA
    Raph, Bruno(c), Jota, Bowen
    Anonio, Maupay, Dennis

    Bachmann, White, Livra, Salah

    Good enough, or do I FH?

  7. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    DDG* Foster
    TAA Cancelo Alonso* Dawson Livramento
    Son Jota Foden Gray Bowen
    Antonio Lacazette DCL
    Son&Laca to Bruno(C) and Dennis-4
    Dennis might only have 1 game if Burnley game is off but he has Norwich the week after. Dennis also have Norwich GW23 and Salah back is piece of cake with this plan. Go for it since Ronaldo a doubt? (first plan was to get him)

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

    1) Salah > Bruno
    2) Antonio > Dennis
    3) Salah & Antonio > Mount & Ronaldo (-4)

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      3

  9. TheTinman
    • 8 Years

    Shall we organise a vigil for all those who already played their FH this week?

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

      Vigil Van Dyke

    2. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Lets see after the gameweek

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

      Please do. Thought it would be fine last night - if no Burnley Leicester game fine. Maddion or Trossard was a close call anyway and swapped Lowton (bench) to Lampety. No issues. However did not think Spurs game would be in doubt losing Kane(c) and Royal a game is a big issue!

    4. Im New Here
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I've played it but not feeling bad about it. Still an opportunity

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

      As completle newbie can you explain why that would be bad? Does FH not let you make unlimted transfer this week?

      Im about to play mine and trying to work out which teams have had cancellations 🙂

  10. Aladdin Sané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Would you do Watkins to Ronaldo given potential Villa DGW? Other option is Antonio to Ronaldo but not feeling that

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

      Ni

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

      No

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

      Nope, Man U are proper leaky, Watkins could easily bag a goal or two

    4. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe Antonio, especially if FT, but increasingly feeling like a hit wouldn't be worth it

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

    Is Lukaku going under the radar here?

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

      He's playing City away, so not really very tempting

    2. Purse83
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Exactly what I posted above - convincing myself he’s not fit as nobody is mentioning him.

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

      he is poor!!

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

    Which is better; Digne, Cresswell, Cucurella?

    1. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Cucurella this week, Digne probably longer term, Cresswell totally acceptable somewhere in between the other two

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

    Rumours about NLD being off. Official statement soon...

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

      Which game ?

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

        Got it d oh !

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Arsenal spurs

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

        NLD

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

        Tot-Ars

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

        NLD = Arsenal vs Spurs

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

      Hadn’t heard those rumours…!

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

      Heard theses rumours all day

  14. james 101
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is Dier fit?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No

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

      nope

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      He has a big...

    4. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on the beholder

  15. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    It's getting ridiculous now.
    Burnley sell their top striker , then don't have enough players to field this weekend.

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

      We don't though :'(

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

      They had no choice in selling Wood, his release clause was triggered.

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

      I don't understand the multiple comments about this. Clubs selling players to get out of games...come on!

  16. Westfield Irons ⭐️
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Does Foster replace Bachmann?
    I need to free up some funds and want to downgrade 1 of my playing Keepers (rest of team is solid).
    I want Foster, although accept the double isn't ideal for chances of clean sheets (and Burnley v Watford might be postponed), but Watford have oustanding fixtures to schedule, so they could double again soon.
    Do you think Foster gets his place back straight away?

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

      I doubt it

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

      Bachmann says you ain't seen nothing yet in terms of his performance...

      1. Monklane
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        You'll be glad to know that someone here got it.

    3. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Bachmann is #1

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        As far as I remember BTO only reached No 2 (and yes, I know you were referring to the goalie)

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

    if NLD is off

    a) Son > Bruno (DGW)
    b) Broja > Dennis (DGW in doubt)

    1. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      a) because at least Broja might play, Son won't and is also more money not doing anything for yer

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

      A. Though I'm not keen on Bruno either.

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

    Okay so..

    Salah, Son, Edouard >> Sterling Bruno Dennis -8?

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo Dias
    Jota Bowen Sterling Bruno(c)
    Dennis Antonio Watkins
    Foster Keane Livra Brownhill

  19. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Time for the ultimate banter play with triple Watford defence on a FH?

    Highest scoring defender is Cathcart with 19 points (1.2 PPM).

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

      That would just a piss take

    2. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Just had a look and they haven't kept a CS all season.
      Not certain I'd back them to suddenly churn out 2 on the bounce.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Who's asking for them to churn out 2 on the bounce? Cancelo can only manage one this GW.

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

      If you're feeling lucky punk?

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

      Last cleanie was 5 managers ago so why not? Do it!

  20. Jimbo-Jones
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Best benchable defender to replace Livra?

    1FT and £2.2m in the bank, but keen to not have benching headache or play 5 at the back going forward, so don't want a big upgrade.

    DDG*
    TAA Cancelo Reguilon* Dawson
    Foden Jota Bowen
    Antonio Watkins Dennis*

    Salah Livra Luiz

  21. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I'm still tempted to captain Bruno.........

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      THIS

  22. boc610
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Im guilty of this to but it is interesting that for the sake of FPL we are all very willing to accept a very inferior product in terms of the games themselves. the london derby is one of the best fixtures on the calendar and one surely we would like to see with two full strength teams?

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

      But we're not going to get a better product when teams are playing 4 times in 8 days later in the season to fit in all the postponed games.

  23. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    What time is the deadline for transfers?

  24. ZTF
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Who exactly are we meant to captain here when all of the good DGW options have one of their games in doubt…

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

      King enters the room

    2. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Either someone reliable who may or may not have a DGW or someone reliable with a single GW or just a mad, chaotic punt

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

      Bowen in form, why not

  25. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Bowen captain looking likelier by the minute.

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

      Yep. Bowen hatty to come and outscore every other player.

  26. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    assuming Mount blanks vs MCI, would you expect Trent to outscore Mount vs bha?

    I don't see BRE scoring so looking at Trent(c) and be done with it

  27. Lacikasz01
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Dennis in for Watkins for a -4? (Already have King)

    Yes or no?

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

      no

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

    Best Son replacement:

    A) Maddison
    B) Bruno
    C) Other ?

  29. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Any news on Reguilon?

    Wasnt mentioned on pressers.

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

      I haven't heard anything.

  30. Kaptenen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    What are your thoughts on Digne in Aston Villa?

    Considering bringing in KDB for Son. Need to fund the move by selling R.James to a
