What Is Fantasy Premier League?
Fantasy Premier League is an online game in which players collect points based on how real-life footballers perform each week.
Simply put, you chose a virtual team of Premier League players, and you receive points for the success of your team’s real-life counterparts.
You will get rewarded, for instance, if your FPL side includes Raheem Sterling and the actual Sterling scores a goal for Manchester City.
You receive points if your goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, maintains a clean sheet (does not allow any goals to be scored).
It’s also worth noting that players can lose points for negative actions in real-life, such as getting sent off (-3 points) or missing a penalty (-2).
Your captain each week will get double points. So if your captain is your striker and he scores, he will get eight points for the goal instead of the usual four.
Your vice-captain will take over should your captain not play for some reason.
How To Score Points On FPL
Each position on the field has its own point system. Goalkeepers and defenders are typically awarded points for things like saving a penalty (5 points) or keeping a clean sheet (4 points); midfielders for setting up a goal (3); and strikers for scoring (4).
However, players in different positions can be awarded points for different things, so you need to check what each real-life action is worth.
Below is a breakdown of points on FPL
1pt: Any player plays up to 60 minutes
2pts: Any player plays 60 minutes or more (excluding stoppage time)
6pts: Goalkeeper or defender scores
5pts: Midfielder scores
4pts: Forward scores
3pts: Any player gets an assist
4pts: Goalkeeper or defender gets a clean sheet
1pt: Midfielder gets a clean sheet
1pt: Goalkeeper makes three or more saves
5pts: Goalkeeper saves a penalty
-2pts: Any player misses a penalty
3pts: Any player awarded bonus points as the best player in a match
2pts: Any player awarded bonus points as the second-best player in a match
1pt: Any player awarded bonus points as the third-best player in a match
-1pt: For every two goals conceded by a goalkeeper or defender
-1pt: Any player receives a yellow card
-3pt: Any player receives a red card
-2pts: Any player scores an own goal
Buying And Selling Of Players
You are given £100 million at the beginning of the game to invest on your squad.
Spend it wisely because this must pay for the costs of all 15 players (including substitutes).
The best players can’t just be purchased because that would be too pricey. Your team needs to be balanced with both expensive buys and hotshots.
If this seems too difficult to start, you may alternatively request that the game “auto-fill” you a team to get you going.
Even some top players will do this to start off with some ideas. Use it, then, if you think you need to.
You are permitted to make a transfer every week, which involves selling a player from your team and adding a new one.
Based on how many points they often score, each player has a worth.
For instance, Harry Kane and Mo Sarah are quite costly, yet the Bournemouth goalkeeper’s backup will be very affordable.
But keep in mind that you will need to replace a defense for another defender or a striker for another striker.
Don’t worry if you make a transfer and have extra money. This will be saved in your bank account for the subsequent adjustment you make.
