Introduction to Fantasy Premier League: How to Get Started

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is a global online fantasy football game where you manage a team of real Premier League players and earn points based on their actual performance each game week. It’s a perfect blend of strategic planning, football knowledge, and competitive fun, making it a favorite for millions of fans worldwide.

How to Play Fantasy Premier League

  1. Create Your Team:

    • Start with a budget of £100 million to draft a squad of 15 players (2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders, and 3 forwards).
    • Players have different prices based on their real-life performances and popularity in the game, so balance is key.
  2. Score Points:

    • Points are awarded based on your players' real-life performances each week. Goals, assists, clean sheets, saves, and even bonus points contribute to your weekly score, while red/yellow cards and missed penalties reduce points.
  3. Make Transfers:

    • Each week, you have the option to make free transfers to replace underperforming or injured players, allowing your team to stay competitive throughout the season.
  4. Choose Your Captain:

    • Selecting a captain each week is crucial, as their points are doubled. Captaining an in-form player can significantly boost your score.
  5. Join Leagues:

    • FPL offers various leagues, from head-to-head leagues with friends to global leagues with millions of players, adding a fun, competitive element to the game.
