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)

    Don’t want to double up on Kane and Ronaldo and Bruno is an easier way to Salah or KDB.

    Since Maddison isn't a dgwer...

    A) Bruno, Maupay

  6. Thewoodyhorse

    The longer today has gone on the more im feeling like not making any moves this GW and saving my ft. Have 4 DGW players if no more get cancelled but currently without a Watford striker or Ronaldo or DDG.

    What would any of you do with this team?

    Ederson
    TAA - Azpi - Cancelo
    Mount - Moura - Jota - Gallagher - Bowen
    Kane - Antonio

    Foster - Watkins - Johnson - Livra

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

      Who are you gonna captain? That will decide your transfer.

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

      Mount or Azpi captain?

  7. Skogen89
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling and Antonio > Kane and Trossard? (-4)

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure I'd want to lose both of them. Do like Kane and Trossard though

      1. Skogen89
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I think Bowen covers WH, and its so frustrating owning Sterling since he is benched every third game..

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

      Thinking of getting rid of both Sterling and Antonio too ... Man City have good fixtures but check Sterling's figures for the reverse ones ... they're not good

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

      Assuming you can't just do Antonio to Kane cos of money, no

      1. Skogen89
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Mhm, 0,2 itb

  8. Ghost86
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Really don’t know want to do here…

    A) Son to Fernandes (no hit)

    B) Watkins/Antonio to Ronaldo -4

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Risk it with a. Thoughts above?

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

      A

  9. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Sell Salah and get who? Money no issue
    Already have Jota, Foden, Bilva, Bowen

  10. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Help.

    A. Salah to Mount (c) (-4)
    B. Keep calm and play Keane (nor)

    No Ronaldo, Kane, Dennis for captaincy.

  11. Saintjack01
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is bringing Robertson in stupid even though I already have Trent

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Assuming you have Jota, maybe. Blocking you from getting back Mo, unless you're thinking of selling Jota later, which is quite risky

  12. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Watford striker for a hit or play Gray away to Norwich?

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

      Burnley game might not happen so I think I'd say Gray (but cards on the table, I have King and Gray and will play both)

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

      Hit ruins the appeal to be honest.

  13. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Which option to bring in?

    A) Bruno & Lukaku
    B) Trossard & Ronaldo/Kane
    C) Mount & Ronaldo/Kane
    D) Mount/Trossard & Lukaku

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      C with Ron

  14. Twisted Melon
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Tierney > Reguilon -4?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Nope

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

      Right now, no way

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

      Not with a potential DGW loss & injury. Even Lamptey may be better.

  15. CobraKai
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Fabianski

    White / Keana / TAA / Cancelo / Livramento

    Mount / Raphinha / Salah / Bowen / Gray

    Ron / Dennis / Broja

    Livramento to: ??

    A) Rudiger
    B) Maguire
    C) Reguilon

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Save

  16. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    A) Son and Antonio -> CR7 and Moura / Mount (-4)
    B) Son -> Bruno for free

    Play Keane / Cancelo?

    Sanchez
    TAA, Reguillon, Keane/Cancelo
    Son*, Jota, Gray, Bowen
    Kane (c), King, Antonio
    Ramsdale, Cancelo/Keane, ESR, Dalot

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A

      Exact situation. Cancelo maybe

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

      B feels like it will give the least headaches & an easy move for when Salah is back? Antonio has an okay fixture & good upcoming fixtures

    3. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers both. Leaning towards B tbh.

  17. 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)

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      B
      1 or 2 but mount

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

        Thanks. Not sure on Mount is off after GW23 (although would be an easy sell for Salah, lol).

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

      B 3

      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

  21. Twisted Melon
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

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

    Is 4 x DGW players @ -4 ok?

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

      Whatever's best for your team

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

    Maybe I'll save a FT so when the DGW23 fixtures are announced right as the deadline hits, I'll have capacity to accommodate it :mrgreen:

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

    Dennis or Alonso on FH?

    Have Rudiger

  25. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    2 FT and 0.4 ITB. Thinking of keeping Salah and going without CR7 or is that a bad idea..

    A - Son > Mount (c) and roll 1 FT
    B - Antonio & Son > Mount & CR7
    C - Other suggestion?

    DDG
    TAA - Cancelo - Lamptey - Coady
    Son - Jota - Bowen - Maddison
    Antonio - King

    Bachman - Broja - Salah - Dier

  26. Smokey_Lowkey
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Start:

    A) Maddison (TOT)
    B) Mbeumo (liv, MNU)
