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)

    Son and Laca -> Bowen and Ronny (-4)

    Good call?

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

      Yes, good moves

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

      I approve these moves.

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

    Any idea when we can expect the Scout Picks?

  3. vincentwsho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    What to do?

    A) Martinelli to Trossard
    B) save FT, play Foden
    C) save FT, play Coufal
    D) save FT, play Reguilon

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

      b

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

      I like A

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

      B then C are the most sensible, A is probably the most exciting, if only because Brighton seem one of the most likely to get a DGW this week. However, bear in mind the upcoming blank for Brighton

  4. tokara
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Do we think Ben Foster will start

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

      No he's not fit yet

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

      no, but i'm making him my first choice, with a definitely playing [sgw] keeper on the bench, just in case he does.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Trained with the full squad and available for selection

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

      Max one game imo.

  5. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Stumped. What do you reckon?

    A) Son to Bruno (-4)
    B) Son to Trossard + Edouard to Ronaldo (-8)
    C) Son to Mount (-4)
    D) Something else?

    0FT 6.0ITB
    DE GEA
    RUDIGER Trent Cancelo
    Jota Bowen Maddison Gundogan
    KING Antonio Edouard

    Steele Johnson Son* Livramento *

    Thanks!

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

      what did u use ur FT on ?

      really tough one to say atm maybe B I guess but not sure Ronaldo is fully fit

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

        Thanks. I did Salah to Maddison. Long story! Basically went against everything I’ve done over the past few weeks in a moment of madness.

  6. Jones Kusi
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    What would you do here?

    1 FT 1.8 ITB

    De gea Gunnarsson
    Dawson Dalot Cancelo Taa Livra
    Bowen Son Jota Bernardo Brownhill
    Antonio CR7 King

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

      Nice team. If anything, just Son to someone. Mount, Trossard, Bruno etc. Could save there though

  7. rokonto
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Atm I've only got 4 dgw players.
    Alonso Sanchez Toney and Dennis.
    Who should I captain?
    Sanchez?

  8. Steve McCroskey
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Sorry where has all this Mount love come from?

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      2 games

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Lack of options unfortunately

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

      Tuchel

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

      I wasn’t getting him but now tempted as 2 games

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

      Probably from the same place as Bruno love, just from a little bit more sensible sector

    6. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Double blank looming.

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

      Lack of options

    8. Reece’s Pieces
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      He should play and do well enough. Better if you already own him.

      I'm thinking Son > KDB as he is motivated vs Chelsea and it gets him for solid fixtures or a straight Salah swap

    9. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Agree. My option is moura

  9. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    If some game is added after deadline what happens,we get points for that game or not?

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

      Wont happen, would be as part of the following GW

      1. FFSbet.com

        2 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks

  10. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Captain bruno or Ronaldo???

    Plzz help

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

      Fair question. If you have both, that's already nice for this DGW. I think underlying stats and overlying(?) stats say CR7 but Bruno might end up being a shockingly good differential

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Both

  11. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is there a viable captaincy option who's nailed on to play twice this DGW ?

    Ronaldo (doubtful for Villa)
    Kane (Arsenal game in doubt)
    Dennis/King (Burnley game in double)
    Chelsea & Brentford have poor fixtures

    That just least Brighton, or a United punt, or a SGW player. A Liverpool player without Salah/Mane, not for me. Captain Sanchez ?

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think Ronaldo is in doubt for villa is he? He's been training

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Rag said should be available depending on final training session.

  12. have you seen cyan

    Hi guys haven’t been able to keep track recently, anyone got a free hit team I can copy?

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

      Shameless

    2. Steve McCroskey
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Get out

    3. have you seen cyan

    4. mox81

      • 4 Years

      FFS may release an article that you'll find very useful later! Pick scouts, or something like that.

    5. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Brilliant

    6. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      At least you are honest about it. The real shameless people copy without us knowing

  13. Steve McCroskey
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Son > Moura worth a -4?

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

      Have you been living under a rock?

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

      No, Moura seems increasingly likely to only play once

      1. Jones Kusi
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Even tho Son is injured?

      2. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        This makes little sense to me

  14. Patron
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Livra is 50% and Ralph said he’s out so don’t really get it. Does it need some time to update or they are just messing with us? Thanks.

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

      Don't trust FPL flags. Just check for actual news and quotes

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

        Ofc it was just strange for me they didnt red flag him. Cheers!

      Red flagged on FPL. Knee injury - Unknown return date

      1. Patron
        • 5 Years

        Well mine app didn’t refresh yet Id say. Thanks!

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

      His injury is fluid on the knee due to meniscus problem. It's hard to predict a return on that injury. Could be fine shortly or could be out for a while

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

        I meant like why didn’t they red flagged him. It’s not like he’s gonna play next game. Cheers!

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      He's red flagged now.

      Got to be the one with two games hasn't it? Liverpool aren't any where near as good without salah and mane either

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

      Just for this week, Mount, otherwise Jota

  17. Miniboss

    1. TFP

      1. Miniboss

        Fair enough, sound advice. Thanks!

  18. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Would you play either Gundogan or Lacazette ahead of TAA?

  19. tim

    2 years, 2 months ago

    Yeah, I think so too.

    1. Hangman Page

      Agreed.

    Bench one.

    1) Bowen

    3) Lucas (doubtful double, own Kane)

    1. BERGKOP

      What...Play all three... 2 of those... but seriously...

    2. Norco

  23. Will Kane
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I'm assuming Arteta didn't do a presser as expected? Too busy in discussions with the PL about calling off the Spurs game I suppose. 2 of my 3 Arsenal players are flagged and with no updates from Arteta then I'm edging ever closer to FH despite the absolute lack of good options....

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

      Sky sports have reported one but seems mostly about Conte

      1. Will Kane
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Ah, it's just started 🙂

  24. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone got a time machine?

    I’d like to use it to undo getting in Maddison, Ronaldo and Lucas for -8 late last night (yes I know, but I had exact funds and Salah and son were both supposed to drop, per FPLStatistics)

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

      I feel like you’re under utilising a time machine here

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        😀

    2. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years

      My mate Iron Man did. Didn't end well.

    3. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I got Maddison in for Son last night too. At least he has one game. It's a crap shoot right now anyways.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I’m just waiting for the Arsenal game to be called off to confirm I paid 8 points for SGW Maddison and Lucas…

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

      Play the FH and your transfers will be undone….

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yh but I only have one FH left and it’s gonna be very valuable around GW30 ish/whenever the latter FA cup rounds cause lots of blanks.

  25. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Lukaku a better punt that Ronaldo / Fernandes?

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

      No

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

      no, but still a nice punt, though beware all those Chelsea blanks coming up

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

    Arteta said no excuses!

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

    What is riskier from OR perspective?
    A. Not having Ronaldo (have Kane and Dennis). Will have to take hit and sacrifice Antonio.
    B. Not having Jota. Will get in for Son using FT
    Thanks
