How to play Fantasy Premier League (FPL)

Managers use a draft system to build their teams from scratch. Each of them take turns to select players for about 15 rounds. In the beginning, the picks are random before they start moving from round to round, reversing the pick order at each.

For example, during the first round the teams follow the normal pick order, Team A, B, C and D. Then, in the second round, they reverse it. So, the order becomes Team D, C, B, and A. Once you select your players, set up a line-up for each week. The league administrator sets the draft date and public leagues play theirs 24 hours after the first team joins.

Your role as the manager is to watch as your players catch, pass, run and score touchdowns, all of which earn them fantasy points. The player with the most fantasy points at the end of each week wins.

The process continues for a couple of weeks before the fantasy playoffs begin towards the end of the season. The winning teams advance to the finals while the losing ones end their season.

How to play Fantasy Premier League wildcard

Team managers get some special chips to earn them advantage over their competition. One of these is the wildcard, which allows a manager to make free unlimited transfers in a game week. Usually, they only get one free transfer game weekly, but they can save another to get two.

Any additional transfers cost the teams four points. However, with the wildcard, they can avoid these deductions. Managers can play the wildcard twice per season, and cannot cancel it. The first one is available from the first game week while the second one comes before the January transfer window.

Tips on how to play Fantasy Premier League

You might be wondering, ''What is the best way to play Fantasy Football?'' There are several tips that will help you beat your competitors and earn more points. Here are some of them:

1. Plan ahead. Before you select your team, check every player's ADP (Average Draft Position). This will help you know where and how to position them and the budget to allocate them.
2. Pick the players you need for their unique and specific skills, and not necessarily their prominence.
3. Build a watchlist of the players you are considering before the drafting season begins.
4. Consider out-of-field issues before selecting players. Previous suspensions or disciplinary issues must not be ignored.
5. Consider the quality of the player's team more than his individual performance.
6. Pay close attention to the NFL schedule and do not miss important games.
7. Start by drafting the running backs before any other positions because there are few quality running backs compared to the other positions. The quarterback can come last.
