What is FPL?

FPL is the worlds most popular Premier League Fantasy game.

How Does Fantasy Premier League Work?

FPL is mainly about assembling a squad of 15 players on a £100 million budget. Each Premier League player is priced according to their real-life performance and popularity. Here’s how FPL works:

1. Formation Rules: Your squad must include 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders, and 3 strikers.
   Need help picking the best squad? Try the Transfer Wizard—we’ll suggest top players using advanced stats from Opta and experts.
2. Scoring System: Points are based on real-life players’ performances. Goals, assists, and clean sheets all result in points, while cards, missed penalties, and conceded goals cost points. Additionally, top performers in matches earn bonus points. To prepare for upcoming Game Weeks, check out tips from expert analysis, including injury updates, price changes, and captaincy picks.
3. Leagues & Competition: In FPL, you can compete both globally and in mini-leagues. While competing on a worldwide scale is fascinating, many managers prefer to play in private mini-leagues with friends, family, or co-workers. The leagues are usually of two types:
4. Classic Leagues: The winner is determined by the total number of points.
5. Head-to-Head: In Head-to-Head leagues, weekly games determine winners and losers.
