What is Fantasy Premier League...


How to register

To play Fantasy Premier League for the first time, you must register on the FPL site.

Head over to https://fantasy.premierleague.com to register your account by submitting an email address, setting up a password and then confirming your email address.

Once you have set up your account and chosen a team name you are ready to start playing.


How to play

FPL is a game that casts you in the role of a Fantasy manager of Premier League players.

You must pick a squad of 15 players from the 2022/23 Premier League, who score points for your team based on their performances for their clubs in PL matches.

Prices are given to players based on the number of FPL points they are projected to deliver and you are limited to a budget of £100.0m for your 15-man squad.


How are points awarded?

Points are awarded to players for goals, assists, saves and clean sheets.

Players can also earn additional bonus points in Fantasy as a reward for a good performance in a match (see the Bonus Points System for more).

Your team's points for the match round or "Gameweek" will be scored by your starting XI. But if a starting player does not feature for their club in that round of matches, the points scored by the first player on your bench will automatically be counted instead.

The same process occurs if two or three starting players fail to appear.

You can also earn extra points by selecting a captain from your starting line-up. The captain's points are doubled in that Gameweek.

[bots]

seems i'm in it already :dance:

[James]

I auto-picked a team for now. Looks like they are requiring people to update their account details.

[bots]

yeah, i've picked my first squad, you can make unlimited changes up to the deadline anyway

[Beso]

Excellent...good luck everyone.

Remeber they do a champions league one as well.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Eze Tiger is in!

[Crimson Dynamo]

So have you sorted who your goalkeeper is going to be?

Pep has

[bots]

my team has been ready for weeks :laugh:

[Swan]

The easier earned yellow cards are gonna play a much bigger part this season

[Crimson Dynamo]

The easier earned yellow cards are gonna play a much bigger part this season

and subsequent reds :shocked:

[Swan]

and subsequent reds :shocked:

Yeah, will need to put more thought into sub picks.

[Swan]

I feel like a wh0re not having any Chelsea players in my squad this season, just dunno who might perform or not.

[Crimson Dynamo]

There is one who is in everyone's squad including my own...

[Swan]

There is one who is in everyone's squad including my own...

Tell a lie, i have Nkunku in my squad actually, but that might change. I wanted to put Nicolas Jackson in, but im worried he wont play as much as he did in pre season?!

Maatsen too was great pre season.

[Crimson Dynamo]

In my draught now i have Haaland and Salah

:worry:

[bots]

i've got kevin, but i'm not sure that he will be a regular start this season

[Crimson Dynamo]

i've got kevin, but i'm not sure that he will be a regular start this season

i avoid Man City players as Pepe roulette is soul destroying

[BigSister]

Ill play although ill probably forget after a few months :laugh:

[Beso]

This is starting to give me a headache, brentford have been decimated with injuries.

[Beso]

I've went tactical for the first month of fixtures..fingers crossed it pays off.

[bots]

the new Man U striker has a back injury, that bodes well for the future :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Im still torn by A salah draft or just sticking to the template

[bots]

i've replaced kevin with rashford until we see what happens

[Beso]

Surprised I'm the only one to pick Alvarez and trossard


Martinilli has been rather off the pace pre season.

[Beso]

If you want to see the teams...


Click on the game players name, then click on game week one. When you see it


The team then comes up.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Surprised I'm the only one to pick Alvarez and trossard


Martinilli has been rather off the pace pre season.

because both are red flag minutes risks

[bots]

its going to be different with the added minutes

[bots]

boom

[Crimson Dynamo]

Oh my

[Beso]

Any triple captains this week?

[Beso]

Tbh harland will probably be subbed before alvarez.


I'm subbing stones week one for a scouser.

[bots]

it would take serious balls to go triple captain in week one :laugh:

[Dogeatdog]

Some good team names this year :laugh: and I’m glad to see that Calderyon is taking part still. Hopefully he’ll pop back soon.

I’m using the PL app but I can’t see the league table yet has anyone else got this issue?

[Beso]

Anyone do the bench boost like me?

[bots]

take a screenshot of the tibb league, because that wont happen again :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Glad i subbed out Gabriel for Saliba at 6.28 last night after late news he was benched

[Beso]

Do you think I care you are all laughing at my wildcard usage..:smug::bawling:

[bots]

my forward line of isak and haaland have had a pretty good weekend :smug:

[Crimson Dynamo]

my forward line of isak and haaland have had a pretty good weekend :smug:

:oh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Reece James goes off injured

:whistle:

[bots]

he nearly lasted a game

[James]

Some good team names this year :laugh: and I’m glad to see that Calderyon is taking part still. Hopefully he’ll pop back soon.

I’m using the PL app but I can’t see the league table yet has anyone else got this issue?

Hopefully the players in team names live up to expectations. :hehe:

[Crimson Dynamo]

so happy to see Salah get his goal chopped off!

[bots]

his hissy fit when he got substituted was a special moment :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

his hissy fit when he got substituted was a special moment :laugh:

the worry is that he will take that anger into the home game with Bournemouth next week and rack up a 26 pointer

:worry:

[Swan]

Im really unhappy with my team. And yes, Salah in a "im gonna prove myself and show you Klopp" mood vs Bournemouth is a terrifying prospect!

[Swan]

A shaw clean sheet and assist would be lovely tonight though, along with a couple Rashford goals :hee:

[Crimson Dynamo]

[bots]

the more i see of him, the more i like him

[Crimson Dynamo]

the more i see of him, the more i like him

Rangers fans did not hate him they kind of wished he wasn't there

who is going to take a punt at what the city line up will be on Saturday :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

who is going to take a punt at what the city line up will be on Saturday :laugh:

i avoid all their assets save Halland as selection is a sh itshow

as for Reece James....:skull:

[Beso]

Think I might sub in cammy Devlin.:dance:

[James]

I'm in top spot after the first week.

[Swan]

Very tempted to bench Trippier this week

But my only alternative is Luke Shaw, unless i make a transfer, which im saving for next gameweek so i have 2 and can balance out my funds

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'm in top spot after the first week.

yes but you got an illegal 9 points for your brutal thug goalie

[bots]

less than 2 hours to make any adjustments

[Crimson Dynamo]

im rolling this week

[Crimson Dynamo]

https://twitter.com/FPLMate/status/1692230211859812670?s=20

[bots]

martinez is apparently a doubt to play

[Beso]

martinez is apparently a doubt to play



I've just subbed him in.:joker:

[Beso]

5 points in the bag already.

[Crimson Dynamo]

f sake Turner

:oh:

[Swan]

Im so not arsed at this point, all the players scoring big points after me taking them out last min. Im just gonna go with the flow and hope i don't finish last.

[Swan]

f sake Turner

:oh:

He had no chance on the goal

[bots]

unless there is an injury, i think its best to go with your chosen team and not fiddle :laugh:

[Beso]

Pedro on the bench for Brighton.

[MTVN]

I missed the deadline this week :omgno:

Thought it'd be 6.30 (as per every other Friday deadline) so went to change my team at 6.20 and it was done. I'd have only subbed in Turner and captained Salah so not much lost really

[Crimson Dynamo]

man u are fkng rotten

:mad:

[Beso]

Get in there Alvarez...I knew it..I knew you were the one.

[Crimson Dynamo]

getting rid of bruno and pinhead asap

[bots]

im going to be making adjustments next week

[Crimson Dynamo]

Just made a transfer to avoid a price rise tonight

[bots]

who?

[Crimson Dynamo]

who?

mind your own beeswax :hee:

[bots]

[bots]

i already have the ones likely to increase in my squad

[Swan]

That Arsenal game was a big point scorer. So glad Odegaard is on pens now and not Saka :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

https://twitter.com/FPLMate/status/1693726360546529541?s=20

[Swan]

I know this will sound like BS, but i had Mbeumo, but i think it was 3 days before the first game and he had a yellow caution flag by his name when i checked, so i changed him for Gibbs White in a panic. Awesome. :laugh:

[Swan]

I know im being lazy, but does anyone know off hand how many wildcard's their are this season, it's usually 2 right? (i know it was essentially 3 last season with the world cup messing everything up)

[Crimson Dynamo]

2

one this year and one in 2024

[Swan]

2

one this year and one in 2024

Ok nice one thanks.

[James]

Is there some reason for most of the overall top managers in FPL being from Indonesia?

Shenanigans?

1695434125782794458

:think:

last night the number one account (from Indonesia) has 77 points from Gusto, Chillwell and Triple Captain Sterling. Its obviously a PC generated account

[bots]

Haaland -2 :fist::fist::fist:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Haaland -2 :fist::fist::fist:

what he does is almost irrelevant as everyone has him

[Swan]

This is shaping up to be my lowest scoring gw ever i think.

That's why I didnt captain him this week.

[Beso]

I've made another boo boo.

I thought the change your team Wildcard was for 1 week only.:notimpressed:

[Beso]

In the words of Celine Dion, Love lifts me up where I belong.:dance:

[Swan]

Might have to use my wildcard next week, need to something drastic. No Ramsdale in goal today either.

[Swan]

Wildcard worked out well. Early, but i needed to do something. High scoring weekend all round.

[Beso]

[Swan]

Estupinan is out for a month. Still waiting on Saka injury update. Will probably go with Salah as captain over Haaland this week.

he has to go for most teams

[bots]

i've subbed Saka, if he isn't rested this weekend, he is in danger of getting a really bad injury that will put him out for the rest of the season. If he does play, it may only be for a short period

[Crimson Dynamo]

If it wasn't for the this league, and the other im in i really wouldn't care that much about this game. The pre-season hype really is the most fun part :laugh:

Buying fati for brighton like some imaginary footballing visionary, just to sell him again as hes starting to make 1st team starts.

[bots]

i'm having a bit of a problem this week too

[bots]

Haaland not playing!

[Crimson Dynamo]

Hoping it goes down before tomorrow :worry:

https://x.com/markmanderfield/status/1768691887299293525?s=20

[Swan]

Could score with his head

[bots]

at the higher class Man City, they call it a groin strain

[Crimson Dynamo]

45.3% of #FPL teams are now 'dead teams' (no team changes in the last 5 Gameweeks)


https://x.com/FantasyFootyFix/status/1770057646344995190?s=20

[Swan]

Superb weekend for you LT

[Crimson Dynamo]

just hit the WC

[bots]

i have 21 points so far this game week, and the highest, someone has 116 points :skull:

[Swan]

LT is killing it again this week

[Beso]

Wow, I finally made a good decision..

[Beso]

Anyone wanting to sub all players to pick what they think is the beat team for the final week..


For kudos?

[James]

Here is the table before the final set of games, with Calderyon set to win.

Well done Cald.

I haven't been updating my team, but I noticed there is a weekly challenge game now where you enter a new team - maximum one player from each club - so I entered that.

[MTVN]

Congrats Cal, great season! OR must be impressive. You will have to return to the forum to take the plaudits :pipe:

Ends my two year reign as champ, not a great season for me although I was a bit less committed this time round and too stubborn for a lot of it (didn't have Watkins for a long time, ditched Haaland playing catch up, hardly had Saka for most of it)

[Beso]

Well done Cal, some impressive scoring the past few weeks.


Hopefully get closer next season.


Thanks for the game people.
