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)

    DCL, Johnson, Son -> Trossard, Robbo, Dennis (-8)?

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

      Keep DCL

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

        Sell Antonio instead?

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

          Not for me, I'm risking without Dennis because Burnley game in doubt

    2. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, stuff it, hits be damned, do it, but Captain Dennis

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

    Cor, this non-FH team looked good a week back!

    DDG
    TAA Alonso Regulion*
    Son* Jota Maddison Bowen
    Ronaldo Antonio King

    Steele / Gray Cancelo Livramento

    If DGW off for Spurs, play:
    A) Regulion
    B) Cancelo

    RE: Son/Maddison/Gray
    1) Bench Son, play Gray (save FT)
    2) Son > Fernandes, play Maddison (bench Gray)
    3) Son > Fernandes, play Gray (bench Maddison)

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

    Trossard or McAllister on FH?

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

      Having a Brighton attacker is edgy enough, so Trossard

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

    Keep Watkins or Antonio?

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

      Why not both?

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

      Both

  5. NotsoSpursy
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is there a good chance Foden will play?

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

    about to press the button on

    Ramsdale, Son, Broja > De Gea, Mount, Dennis (-8)

    good?

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

      Good moves, good luck

  7. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Play Sanchez or DDG?

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

    Quick vote:

    A. Start Gray (Bench Son)

    B. Bring in Bruno for Son (Bench Gray) using FT

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

      A

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

    Best United defender (not DDG)?

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

      For this DGW, Telles. After that, really who knows, Maguire or Varane but really don't know which

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

        Why Telles?

        It would be long term - I was thinking Varane

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

          Shaw is suspended

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

            Only for one of the matches?

  10. Sun God Nika
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    when does the Scout pick update, so i can find out what players NOT to bring in

  11. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    FH played….why? Cause we’ll get another one next week, and the week after and then another BB and another WC….etc

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

      Love it!! more chips than a casino in silly season

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

        More chips than a Glasgow pavement on a Saturday night….

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

      and end up with more FH's than we can play.

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

        Gonna start selling them down the market….

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

      Whilst I have no intention of joining you, I'm still jealous that you can have even more chaotic fun over the next few hours than the rest of us!

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

    Was thinking of Salah to Raph initially, but surely Mount is a better option with his DGW?

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

      Short term yes, but he has a double blank looming.

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

      Just went son/ESR to mount/Raphinha -4

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

        Nice, some short and longer term moves happening together

  13. AnyoneButLiverpool
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Guys, I need some help please.

    Sanchez

    Cancelo TAA Dalot Rudiger

    Jota Bowen Gray

    Ronaldo Antonio Dennis

    Ramsdale Son Martinelli Livramento

    1 FT and 3m in the bank. Would you save FT or use it to sell Son?

  14. winchester
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    hey! have 1ft and 5.6m itb. which of the below

    ddg
    taa - cancelo - reguilon - livra*
    bernardo - jota - bowen
    antonio - watkins - dennis

    (foster - saka - keane - son*)

    a) livra -> cucurella and GTG?
    b) son -> kdb and GTG?

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

      B, but better get Bruno instead for DGW.

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

    Dier > Emerson / Reg? FT holding Salah

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

      Doer might play no?

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

        No, he's out, and I think Emerson of the two is the most likely to play whether it's one game or two this week

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

      Emerson

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

    https://dailycannon.com/2022/01/north-london-derby-postponement/

    This lists the Arsenal players missing… both Tomiyasu and Smith Rowe are supposedly back for this game. So it may take more covid cases for them to call it off.

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

      Mari is going to loan out

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

      It says "Assuming Cedric Soares, Emile Smith Rowe, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Sead Kolasinac remain injured" so that implies not back

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

        What's your point Harvey?

  17. _____JR_____
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on my FH team?

    DDG

    TAA Lamptey Sanchez

    Bruno Jota Mbuemo Mount

    Ronaldo King Kane

    Thanks

    1. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I prefer not to FH team this GW, have to be better opportunities to use them. ofc depends on your team but im not excepting high scores from this GW

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

      I would downgrade DDG to Robert Sanchez and upgrade Davinson Sanchez to Emerson

  18. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Son to Mount and Antonio to Dennis good moves for free? Other forwards Ronaldo and Watkins
    next GW Mount -> KDB. I have Foden and Bowen

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

      Good moves

  19. TheBiffas
    • 3 Years

    No replies going on whatsoever

    1. Qaiss

      hey

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

      Want to help me out with my dilemma?

      Sánchez // Foster
      Trent Cancelo Reguilón Coufal // Livramento
      Jota Bernardo Bowen // Brownhill Salah
      Antonio Watkins King

      A: Salah and Watkins to Ronaldo and Maddison (–4)
      B: Salah and Watkins to Ronaldo and Mount (–4)
      C: Salah and Watkins to Ronaldo and Raphinha (–4)
      D: Salah to Fernandes

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

        D

  20. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else thinking of going for a city mid as son replacement? Really wanna get kdb, decent record against Chelsea and good fixtures later on
    Thoughts?

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

      Could pay off, double game week options aren't exactly very inspiring

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Or Mason mount?

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

      KDB is a good option. I'm always wary of rotation though, so I'm likely replacing Salah with Mount instead

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        True, I'm also confused between the two
        What do you think? Kdb has lovely fixtures after this, but mount blanks

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

    £2.9itb one ft

    Foster
    TAA/Reguilon/Coufal
    Sterling*/Jota/Bowen/Gray
    Antonio/Dennis/King
    (Guaita/Tierney/Liv/Salah)

    A Sterling to Bruno and captain him
    B Sterling to KDB and captain Dennis
    C Roll ft
    D Other

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

      D – Salah to Bruno/KDB

  22. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I've got a temptation to bring in Sancho over Jota. Can anyone stop me from doing it please?

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

      Jota nailed. Sancho defo not nailed.

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

      Sancho is still a doubt, and has to contend with 4-5 other players for a place.
      Jota is nailed on because Liverpool have two serious forwards.

      Sancho: 16 games, 1 goal, 0 assists
      Jota: 19 games, 10 goals, 1 assist

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

    Son and Laca to
    A) Mount+Ronaldo (C) - 4
    B) Bruno(C) Dennis

    B makes Salah back very easy, but A takes 2 moves. Dennis has Norwich Gw23 also.

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

      I prefer A

  24. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Kdb or B.silva??

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

      Kdb

  25. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years

    Based on the team news today, which was is best to go?

    a) Get Ronaldo (c)

      a

  26. Fuddled FC
    • 12 Years

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

      You won't be sure before deadline, but if that fantasy did exist, I like Moura

  27. How I met your Mata
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    1. KieranKA

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

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

    Which midfielder?

    A: Maddison
    B: Mount

      Mount for double gameweek.
