Join FanTeam’s single-entry World Cup 2022 Fantasy game


Sponsored by FanTeam


With no Fantasy Premier League (FPL) to play during the four World Cup weeks, there is a big void to fill. Luckily, this is where FanTeam steps in with a fantastic World Cup Fantasy game to keep managers occupied.

We at Fantasy Football Scout are delighted to be partnering with FanTeam, who have listened to previous concerns about having to compete with rival managers that submit multiple teams to cover all bases.

Therefore, the main game of £5 entry will restrict each manager to one team only. It also has a minimum prize pool of £50,000 that awards the winner a tasty £5,000.

FanTeam's World Cup 2022 Fantasy game has launched 1

For those who like the old-school FanTeam with multiple teams allowed, the £20 buy-in tournament allows up to 25 entries per user, boasts a minimum guaranteed prize pool of £100,000 and at least £10,000 for first place.

As both options have a progressive prize pool, the £100,000 and £50,000 will continue to rise with each new entry beyond the minimum guarantee.

SCOUT’S COVERAGE OF WORLD CUP FANTEAM

Ahead of the big kick-off in under two weeks, we will be bringing you detailed previews, strategy guides, team reveals and more.

Naturally, many of our site’s writers and broadcasters will be playing the game, such as Az and Josh.

There will be plenty more videos to come from these two, so keep visiting our YouTube channel for more content.

HOW TO PLAY

FanTeam’s World Cup 2022 Fantasy game allows you to create a star-studded side full of football’s greatest names.

The contest has a very similar scoring system to FPL and will be played over seven Gameweeks, starting on November 20. No late entries will be accepted once Qatar and Ecuador kick off the opener.

Both money routes have the same format and rules:

  • £90m budget (increasing to £95m later on)
  • Pick an 11-man team, so there are no substitutes
  • A minimum of one goalkeeper plus at least three defenders, two midfielders and one forward

One of our previous articles goes into more detail about game rules and how to score points but it’s worth noting that points will not be scored for extra time, penalty shoot-outs or the third-place playoff.

Many of us here at Fantasy Football Scout will be actively managing a team in FanTeam’s £5 single-entry contest and we welcome you to join us during this festival of football.

    A. Shall I keep or sell Alvarez? (also have Haaland, KDB)
    B. Shall I keep or sell Mitrovic?

    1. klopptimusprime
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Would sell Mitro over Alvarez

      1. tokara
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        this, especially if Haaland play agst Chelsea

        1. klopptimusprime
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          hmmm could do Kane + Greenwood in

          Is Kane + Andreas better than Zaha + Solanke?

          1. klopptimusprime
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 5 months ago

            sorry reply fail...

            I could also do Mitrovic + Saka --> Kane + 4.4m, and play a fourmium:

            Pope
            Trippier, Saliba, Andersen, Webster
            Salah, KDB, Martinelli, Andreas
            Haaland, Kane

            But, I think the better option would be to get the Bench Boost out of the way, so that I could have Greenwood, Haaland and Kane after the world cup. (Greenwood prevents the BB later). Spend transfers on mids (follow the fixtures).

        Thanks.

        Game time is the main concern for both. I expect both of them to score if they play.

        I have 2FTs. So I have several exit strategies. Confused which would be ideal. If I sell both, then I only have 14.0m to play with. If I sell only one of them then I can use the 2FTs to generate funds for going up to Kane (Mitrovic) or Darwin (Alvarez). Or, I can set up bench boost (Ward, Andreas, Webster, Andersen) if I do Mitrovic to Martial.

      Sell Mitro imo 😛

  2. SKENG

    Anyone know any decent free to play Fantasy World Cup games apart from the official one?

    1. The Knights Template

      FPLMarc88 might know, he spends a lot of time thinking about FPL.

  3. klopptimusprime
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Do these moves and log off for a month?

    Firmino + Andreas -> Zaha + Solanke?

    Pope
    Cancelo - Trippier - White
    Salah - Saka - Martinell - Trossard - Andreas
    Haaland - Firmino

    Iversen - Webster - Mitro - Neco, 2FT, 0.9m

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      i will keep Andreas....has to score against United

    2. banskt
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Firmino + Saka --> Darwin + Kulusevski

      Kulusevski home fixture, Darwin possible more attacking points than Firmino.

      Or, try to bring in Kane.

    3. maglia rosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Mitro & Firmino ➡ Kane/Darwin & Fodder ❓

  4. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Best option for this gw?

    A. Taa
    B. Perisic
    C. Saliba

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      B maybe if play OOP

    2. banskt
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      I think B.

      Liverpool has one of the highest xG conceded in the last 6 games. Saliba is great, but Perisic has higher upside.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Cheers. He should start right?

        1. banskt
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          I would think so. Lots of injuries in that Spurs squad. Of course, wait for more information closer to the deadline.

  5. Ragabolly
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Risers: Trossard (7.1) Saliba (5.3)

    Fallers: O'Brien (4.8) Marquinhos (4.6) Dasilva (4.2)

    1. zensum

      Thanks bro

    2. banskt
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Thanks. Now, that's a 4.2m midfielder with guranteed 1 point from bench.

    3. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Saliba costing 0.2 more than Gabriel is wild.

      1. banskt
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Saliba will get more bonus points regularly. Gabriel will get more goals than Saliba. Take your pick.

        1. Casual Player
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          I don't think that's true. Take out attacking returns, they both have 5 bonus. BPS total is basically even over the season.

          Ironically Saliba's greater attacking returns drives his higher bonus this season. So if going forward you think Gabriel gets more goals (I do), he likely gets more bonus as well going forward.

          IMO Saliba was a better pick when it was 4.5 v 5.0, once he got to 4.8/4.9 it's pretty questionable.

          Now Saliba costs more and Gabriel just scored 15 I don't know how even 'casuals' are driving a price rise. It's interesting.

            • 5 Years

            Probably looking at ownership

      Cheers ragabolly

    5. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      A semi-regular 4.2 mid.

      That's a handy thing to have on a picnic.

  6. Scratch
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Any good player suggestions in the official World Cup fantasy that aren't too obvious?

    So far I'm liking:
    Gundogan £7.5m (on pens)
    Pulisic £7.5m (on pens)
    Maehle £4.5m bargain
    Morata £8m Costa Rica up first.. on pens?
    Arrascaeta £5,5m decent value

    1. Scratch
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      And Ricardo Rodriguez £4.5m

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      5 top shelf defenders for me
      7 points for a goal
      5 points CS

      league code
      MichuAkeDeGeaBa
      RL4A0IQY

      1. Scratch
        • 14 Years

        Goal points makes RR even more of a lock so

    3. lugs
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Trossard, Komada, Kudos are the cheap enablers i've gone for who are having good seasons with their clubs who i'm hoping can bring their form with them to the WC, also Schar only 4m, i thought that was a mistake so he's in before they change it 😆

      1. Scratch
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Schar is great value alright but for £0.5m extra you get RR who takes penalties. Not sure I wanna double up on Switzerland

        1. lugs
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          oh yeah i remember having him in the Euros, he's about 1m underpriced if he's on pens, i'm gonna have to squeeze him in now cheers 🙂

    4. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Arrascaeta and Maehle certainly.
      I would add R. de Paul at a measly 5m.

  7. NoName
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    On WC. Worth sacrificing bench/def to get to this squad?

    Ward
    Cancelo Justin Neco
    KDB Salah Martinelli Almiron Andreas
    Haaland Kane

    (Iversen, Greenwood Patterson Bueno)

    1. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Before even looking at your proposed team, would say you should absolutely should sacrifice bench/def

      Your WC is essentially a FH, you want upside players which are generally those in MID and FWD over DEFs IMO. Swing for the fences. I would also only be wanting 1 cheap playable bench player, like a Bueno.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      If you lose Cancelo for say White or Tarko, who can you get Andreas up to? Trossard?

      Maybe Bailey over Andreas if you don't fancy that.

    3. Scratch
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Sorry I hate it. You can afford to be a bit more creative since it's a one and done.

      I don't see why you'd pick Almiron vs Chelsea or Andreas vs United on a one off week WC. I wouldn't want a Forest defender Double Leicester def doesn't look too appealing either.
      I'd consider Kulu or some mid price option for a premium mid and beef up other positions

    4. Bluetiger1
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Sell Cancelo & get a trippier (New)with the rest of the money
      can look to improve bench & maybe White (Ars) in defence,
      Cheaper City Defenders

    5. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Dude u don't need Cancelo. Trippier is more needed and an Arsenal defender.

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Also go for Bailey over Andreas

  8. Mozumbus
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Should so switch:
    A. From Foden to KDB
    B. From Mitrovic to Nunez
    using 2 FTs

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Wait and see. I'd keep Mitro if he is going to play.

      Haaland

  10. lugs
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    my preliminary world cup team, still lots of players to be added yet so this won't be my final draft, but the general idea for me is to have a few players for every matchday to be flexible with captains and subs, and to keep me interested, also just about all of the big hitters are forwards so i need to find value in defense and midfield, which i think i've done here 🙂

    Dominguez(Qatar)
    Estupinan(Qatar), Dumfries(Sen), Pavard(Aus), Maehle(Tun)
    Sane (Jpn) Eriksen(Tun), Trossard(Can) Kamada(Ger)
    Messi(Kor), Kane(Iran)

    Costa(Ghana), Neymar(Serb), Kudus(Por), Schar(Cmr)

    Are there any World Cup tipping games? Id like to run one with a LMS group I have. Usually theres an official fifa one but all I can see is a game to predict the final group stage tables and results to the finals.

      I was so staggered that you could afford it that I tried it - I have exactly the right money for nearly all the players ... except that I haven't got Jesus - so I am 8.0 million short!!
