Champions League football returns to FanTeam with a bang, offering a €250,000 guaranteed prize pool contest with a mouth-watering first place prize of €50,000.

Compete against your friends, family and fellow Fantasy Football bosses around the world and guide your 11-man team to victory in FanTeam’s UEFA Champions League Knockout Stage Fantasy Football tournament.

This contest will cover the Champions League Knockout Stage only, starting on 15th February 2022. Full information on how to play and get involved is provided below.

Whether you’ve had a rough start to your full-season game and would like a clean slate, or you’re simply someone that enjoys UEFA Champions League football and would like to try to convert your knowledge into cash, FanTeam’s €250K UCL Knockout Stage tournament offers managers an exciting, high-stakes Fantasy game with huge potential rewards.

Managers of our UCL Knockout Stage game have the chance to choose a star-studded line-up from Europe’s most elite talent. If you’ve ever wanted to own the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Erling Haaland and Lionel Messi in your Fantasy side, now you can.

PRIZE POOL BREAKDOWN

Like in the UCL Group Stage game last year, they’ll again be offering a guaranteed prize pool of €250,000 for this contest, with a top prize of €50,000 to the winner.

There is a maximum of 12,048 seats available, however, the €250,000 prize pool is guaranteed, even if the contest does not fill.

The top 1,750 ranked entries at the end of the contest receive a pay-out between €50 and €50,000, depending on the exact finishing position.

Entry is set at €25 (£21) per team, and each user can enter a maximum of 100 teams to this contest, should they wish to do so.

A full breakdown of our €250,000 prize pool is shown below.

  • The top five will receive a minimum of €3,000
  • The top ten will receive a minimum of €1,000
  • The top 500 will receive a minimum of €100

GAME RULES

To play in FanTeam’s €250,000 UEFA Champions League Knockout Stage fantasy contest, you will need to create an 11-man team, using a budget of 100m. It’s as simple as that to enter.

Like FanTeam’s season-long games and Fantasy Premier League (FPL), the weekly deadline will be 90 minutes prior to the week’s first kick-off. However, this rule does NOT apply for the very start of this contest in Gameweek 7, where the deadline is right up until 20:00GMT/21:00CET on Tuesday 15th February.

This contest will be played over seven Gameweeks, starting with Gameweek 7 (round of 16, first leg) and ending with Gameweek 13 (the final).

As you’re only required to pick a team of 11 players, there are no subs or benches. However, FanTeam’s ‘Safety Net‘ feature is active – but what is a ‘Safety Net’ we hear you shout?

Well, it is when an automatic substitution is made for a non-starting player from your 11-man team. Here, that player will automatically be replaced by the next-priced teammate from the same position.

Example: If you own Mohamed Salah (12.5m) and he’s only named on Liverpool’s bench, he will be replaced at kick-off by the next priced midfielder from Liverpool – which is Sadio Mane (11.5m), providing he starts. You will score nothing from a Salah cameo.

As you can also see from the Game Rules infographic above, there will be no price changes during this tournament.

You’ll also see that you have three free transfers to use in Gameweeks 8, 10, 12 and 13 – this is to help you manage injuries, teams and eliminated players and react to form accordingly. However, additional transfers beyond these three will each cost four points, just like FPL.

You will have two Wildcards to use during the tournament. They can only be used in Gameweeks 9 and 11 and if you don’t use them, you lose them.

Whilst we won’t bore you with a full breakdown of each of the rules shown above, we will make it clear that extra time and penalty shoot-outs are NOT included in our scoring. Players only earn points during 90 minutes and stoppage time.

SCORING RULES



Please see above a full breakdown of the scoring system.

As you can see, points are awarded for goals, assists and clean sheets but deducted for yellow and red cards. So far, so familiar.

The scoring on FanTeam has slight differences to other season-long Fantasy Football games you might play on other platforms, but, if you participated in our 2021/22 £1m or £100k Second Chance Fantasy Premier League season games, the scoring rules are identical to those contests.

Here are a few scoring attributes and key rules we want to draw you attention to:

Players can make unlimited changes to their Gameweek 1 teams up until the first match kicks off on 15th February at 20:00GMT/21:00CET. From Gameweek 2 onwards, each Gameweek deadline will be 90 minutes before the first match kicks off.

Full Match Bonus: If a forward or midfielder stays on the pitch for the entire game (90 mins & including injury time), they will pick up an additional point. This means players that don’t get substituted are always worth consideration, and that could potentially influence your captaincy decision too

Goalkeeper Save Points: Goalkeepers will earn 0.5 points for every save they make. Therefore, a goalkeeper on a team that allows the opposition a lot of low-quality shots (like Nick Pope for Burnley in the Premier League) can really rack up the points when they keep a clean sheet.

Impact Points: If the team wins during the period a player is on the pitch, the player will receive 0.3 points. However, if they lose the period (example: subbed off whilst losing 1-0) they’re on the pitch, they will be deducted 0.3 points.

Shots on Target: Midfielders and forwards will be awarded 0.4 points for each shot on target, whilst defenders will earn 0.6. If your goalkeeper somehow manages a shot on target then he will get one point. This scoring rule certainly gives Fantasy bosses something to think about when selecting their attack.

Player prices will not change during this contest. This allows managers to budget for the weeks ahead, without having to worry about unexpected price changes leaving you short on cash for your planned transfers.

MAKING CHANGES TO YOUR TEAM

We strongly urge all players to pay close attention to which Gameweeks your free transfers and Wildcards are available for.

Please see below a breakdown of the seven Gameweeks included in this Champions League Knockout contest:

        It is. It's like someone taking 20% of the entry fees out of a money league without playing. Or maybe 30%. Depends what margin they are working on.

      Depends on your formation. I don't think there is a better midfield enabler than Ramsay at the moment.
      Digne I think is a good option
      Watkins I wouldn't like to say. Nailed, but like all forwards in that price range, not exactly tearing it up. He's in my team to keep the price point on the off chance that Bamford stops breaking himself, hopefully around 28 when Leeds fixtures improve a bit

        Really appreciate the insight. Up to now he hasn’t set the world alight but Burundian seems to be picking up form and with Coutinho now on-board I can see their attack starting to fire. It’s a question of trusting him though.

          FPL is not gambling there is no money on the line?

          Gambling like this is targeted at young men and can be considered a 'gateway' to more serious stuff.

          FPL is actually something which helps prevent me from gambling. As someone who was/is a problem gambler I think my opinion is valid. I haven't gambled in over 3 years but these sorts of promotions and offers are exactly what used to pull me back in, that's what they're designed to do.

          If you still don't understand then I suggest you do a little bit of research or refrain from commenting on it.

            Everyone is entitled to an opinion on any topic regardless of their experiences in that field. It's up to the individual to consider the validity of that opinion. There are frequent sports offers and promotions by bookmakers associated with televised coverage of sporting events and if they haven't drawn you back into gambling why should this ? Not much difference in my opinion ( and yes I have considerable experience of the gambling industry)
