The triple points bonus will be passed to your vice-captain. If your vice-captain doesn't play either then the bonus is lost, the chip isn't returned.
After playing your Free Hit chip, at the next deadline your bank balance and squad is restored to as they were at the previous deadline, with any player price changes in the previous gameweek reflected.
Any change to your bank balance whilst the Free Hit chip was active will be lost.
First of all you must have entered a team in the game. Once you have a team, make sure that you have the correct league code and that you are entering it in the format it is written, for example 12345-6789.
If you were the league administrator, and your league was a Classic league, you will have the option to 'Renew your leagues' when you click on the 'Leagues' tab.
If your league was a Head-to-Head league, you will need to create a new league each season, as you are unable to renew this type of private league.
Either you removed yourself accidentally or you were removed from the league by the league administrator. Try rejoining the league using the league code. If you are unsuccessful, please check with your league administrator.
Transfer points are deducted from your total, as explained in the rules and before you confirm your transfers.
Transfer points are deducted from your Head-to-Head score, as explained in the rules.
Other teams can only be viewed after their first Gameweek has started, to allow managers to keep their team tactics secret.
To view a team, simply click on their team name in the league table.
No, the more the merrier. However, only 50 teams will be shown at once, so you will have to use the previous/next links to scroll through your league table.
Your team will be added to the league at the next points update.
Please ensure that you have selected your favourite team.
As long as you select the club before your first deadline, you will be automatically entered into the supporters' league for that club.
You are entered into the country league according to your premierleague.com profile.
To update your country use the My Account page on premierleague.com. Your country league won't change after your first deadline even if you update your profile.
If you do not use your free transfer, you are able to make an additional free transfer the following Gameweek. If you do not use this saved free transfer in the following Gameweek, it will be carried over until you do. You can never have more than 1 saved transfer.
No. Once you have confirmed your transfers, they are final and can’t be reversed under any circumstances.
Prices shown on the transfer page are players’ selling prices minus any sell-on fee. To check the price you paid for a player, please use the list view on the transfers page.
Transfer points are deducted at the start of the next Gameweek.
Transfers are free of charge before the start of the season. If you join the game after the start of the season, transfers are free until your first deadline.
A wildcard allows you to make unlimited free transfers throughout a Gameweek. Playing a wildcard will remove any points deductions from transfers already made in the same Gameweek.
You play a wildcard when you want to make multiple changes to your team, for example Gameweeks when teams are playing more than once, or when your team is underperforming or has a lot of injuries.
When using a wildcard, you must remain within your current budget. There is no unlimited budget when using a wildcard.
The Wildcard chip can be used twice a season, once in the first half of the season (before 30 Dec 14:00) and once in the second half of the season.
Wildcards are played on the transfers page but aren't active until you have confirmed the transfers.
When playing a wildcard, any saved free transfers will be lost. You will be back to the usual 1 free transfer the following Gameweek.
No. Once you have confirmed your wildcard it is final and can’t be reversed under any circumstances.
No. Once you have played your wildcard, any transfers you make within that Gameweek are free, including any you made before playing your wildcard, up until the next deadline.
Any players you have from the team playing twice will earn two sets of points, assuming that the player plays in both fixtures.
Any team captains playing in two fixtures will also earn double points for each match he plays in.
If a player plays any minutes in any scheduled matches in a Gameweek, then he does not qualify for an automatic substitution.
The same rule applies to captains. If your captain only plays in one of the two matches, he will not be replaced as captain in the match he doesn’t play.
Any players you have from that team will score 0 for that Gameweek. Players will play twice in a future Gameweek, when the match is rescheduled.
Points are only awarded to teams who have players selected in their team in the Gameweek the fixture is actually played, irrespective of if you had them selected for the original fixture.
Player points are updated as the matches take place, whilst team points and league tables are usually updated 2 hours after the final whistle in the last match of the day.
Bonus points will be awarded one hour after the final whistle of the last match of any given day.
Automatic substitutions and captain changes are processed at the end of the Gameweek, when all matches have been played.
Once the points have all been updated on that day, no further adjustments to points will be made.
All assists are reviewed before the points are updated at the end of each day. If an assist still hasn’t been given after this time, please refer to the assist definition in the rules for further clarification.
Once the season has started, player prices may change by ÂŁ0.1m a day, based on activity in the transfer market.
Both the formula used to calculate this change and the time of the change include variable factors, and won’t be revealed to game players.
Form is a player’s average score per match, calculated from all matches played by his club in the last 30 days.
The Fixture Difficulty Rank (FDR) is based on a complex algorithm developed by Fantasy Premier League experts. A set of formulas process key Opta data variables, along with each team’s home and away form (past six matches), in order to generate a rank for the perceived difficulty of each Gameweek opponent. The FDR is designed to help FPL managers plan their transfer and team selection strategy and is reviewed on a weekly basis.
The ICT Index is a football statistical index developed specifically to assess a player as an FPL asset. It uses match event data to generate a single score for three key areas – Influence, Creativity and Threat. These figures then combine to create an individual’s ICT Index score. It condenses more than 40 match event statistics into four distinct scores. These offer a view on player performance for factors that are known to produce FPL points.
1. Influence
Influence is the first measurement - this evaluates the degree to which that player has made an impact on a match, or matches over the season. It takes into account events and actions that could directly or indirectly effect the match outcome. At the very top level these are decisive actions like goals and assists. However, the Influence score also processes significant defensive actions to analyse the effectiveness of defenders and goalkeepers.
2. Creativity
Creativity assesses player performance in terms of producing goal scoring opportunities for others. It can be used as a guide to identify the players most likely to supply assists. While this analyses frequency of passing and crossing, it also considers pitch location and the incisiveness of the final ball.
3. Threat
Threat is the third measure, producing a value that examines a player’s threat on goal; it therefore gauges those individuals most likely to score goals. While attempts are the key action, the Index looks at pitch location, giving greater weight to actions that are regarded as the best openings to register a goal. All three of these scores are then combined to create an overall ICT Index score. That then offers a single figure that presents a view on that player as an FPL asset.
The three best performing players in each match according to the Bonus Points System (BPS) will receive additional bonus points. 3 points will be awarded to the highest scoring player, 2 to the second best and 1 to the third.
Examples of how bonus point ties will be resolved are as follows:
If there is a tie for first place, Players 1 & 2 will receive 3 points each and Player 3 will receive 1 point.
If there is a tie for second place, Player 1 will receive 3 points and Players 2 and 3 will receive 2 points each.
If there is a tie for third place, Player 1 will receive 3 points, Player 2 will receive 2 points and Players 3 & 4 will receive 1 point each.
Bonus points will be awarded one hour after the final whistle of the last match of any given day.
Some BPS statistics are received after the end of the match so players may rise / fall up to an hour after the end of the days matches.
Substitutions happen at the end of the Gameweek, when all matches have been played. You can check the list of current fixtures, to determine when this is.
Your team must have 1 goalkeeper, at least 3 defenders and at least 1 forward selected at all times.
If your starting team has 3 defenders, and one of them played 0 minutes, he can only be replaced by another defender who played.
If a player is transferred to another team in the Premier League, and this transfer takes you over the players per team limit, then you will need to go back under the limit when making your next transfers.
New players will be added within 7 days of their transfer being completed.
You can leave the player in your squad, where he will continue to earn 0 points. To remove him permanently, you must use a transfer.
If your question isn't answered above or in the rules then you can contact us using the form below. We aim to reply to all queries within two working days.

To join the game select a fantasy football squad of 15 players, consisting of:
The total value of your initial squad must not exceed ÂŁ100 million.
You can select up to 3 players from a single Premier League team.
From your 15 player squad, select 11 players by the Gameweek deadline to form your team.
All your points for the Gameweek will be scored by these 11 players, however if one or more doesn't play they may be automatically substituted.
Your team can play in any formation providing that 1 goalkeeper, at least 3 defenders and at least 1 forward are selected at all times.
From your starting 11 you nominate a captain and a vice-captain. Your captain's score will be doubled.
If your captain plays 0 minutes in the Gameweek, the captain will be changed to the vice-captain.
If both captain and vice-captain play 0 minutes in a Gameweek, then no player's score will be doubled.
Your substitutes provide cover for unforeseen events like injuries and postponements by automatically replacing starting players who don't play in a Gameweek.
Based on the priorities you assign, automatic substitutions are processed at the end of the Gameweek as follows:
After selecting your squad you can buy and sell players in the transfer market. Unlimited transfers can be made at no cost until your first deadline.
After your first deadline you will receive 1 free transfer each Gameweek. Each additional transfer you make in the same Gameweek will deduct 4 points from your total score (Classic scoring) and match score (Head-to-Head scoring) at the start of the next Gameweek.
If you do not use your free transfer, you are able to make an additional free transfer the following Gameweek. If you do not use this saved free transfer in the following Gameweek, it will be carried over until you do. You can never have more than 1 saved transfer.
For information on wildcards please refer to the chips section of the rules.
Player prices change during the season dependent on the popularity of the player in the transfer market. Player prices do not change until the season starts.
The price shown on your transfers page is a player's selling price. This selling price may be less than the player's current purchase price as a sell-on fee of 50% (rounded up to the nearest ÂŁ0.1m) will be applied on any profits made on that player.
For example, if you buy a player for ÂŁ8.3m and when you transfer him his price is ÂŁ9.0m, his selling price will be ÂŁ8.6m.
Chips can be used to potentially enhance your team's performance during the season.
Only one chip can be played in a single Gameweek. The chips available are as follows:
| Name | Effect |
|---|---|
| Bench Boost | The points scored by your bench players in the next Gameweek are included in your total. |
| Free Hit | Make unlimited free transfers for a single Gameweek. At the next deadline your squad is returned to how it was at the start of the Gameweek. |
| Triple Captain | Your captain points are tripled instead of doubled in the next Gameweek. |
| Wildcard | All transfers (including those already made) in the Gameweek are free of charge. |
The Bench Boost and Triple Captain chips can each be used once a season and are played when saving your team on the my team page. They can be cancelled at anytime before the Gameweek deadline.
The Free Hit chip can be used once a season, is played when confirming your transfers and can't be cancelled after confirmed.
The Wildcard chip can be used twice a season. The first wilcard will be available from the start of the season until 30 Dec 14:00. The second wildcard will be available after this date in readiness for the January transfer window opening and remain available until the end of the season. The Wildcard chip is played when confirming transfers that cost points and can't be cancelled once played.
Please note that when playing either a Wildcard or your Free Hit chip, any saved free transfers will be lost. You will be back to the usual 1 free transfer the following Gameweek.
All changes to your team (starting 11, transfers, captain changes, substitiution priorities) must be made by the Gameweek deadline in order to take effect for that set of matches.
Deadlines are subject to change and will be 1 hour before the kick-off time in the first match of the Gameweek.

During the season, your fantasy football players will be allocated points based on their performance in the Premier League.
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| For playing up to 60 minutes | 1 |
| For playing 60 minutes or more (excluding injury time) | 2 |
| For each goal scored by a goalkeeper or defender | 6 |
| For each goal scored by a midfielder | 5 |
| For each goal scored by a forward | 4 |
| For each goal assist | 3 |
| For a clean sheet by a goalkeeper or defender | 4 |
| For a clean sheet by a midfielder | 1 |
| For every 3 shot saves by a goalkeeper | 1 |
| For each penalty save | 5 |
| For each penalty miss | -2 |
| Bonus points for the best players in a match | 1-3 |
| For every 2 goals conceded by a goalkeeper or defender | -1 |
| For each yellow card | -1 |
| For each red card | -3 |
| For each own goal | -2 |
A clean sheet is awarded for not conceding a goal whilst on the pitch and playing at least 60 minutes (excluding injury time).
If a player has been substituted when a goal is conceded this will not affect any clean sheet bonus.
If a player receives a red card, they will continue to be penalised for goals conceded by their team.
Red card deductions include any points deducted for yellow cards
Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the final pass before a goal is scored. An assist is awarded whether the pass was intentional (that it actually creates the chance) or unintentional (that the player had to dribble the ball or an inadvertent touch or shot created the chance).
If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded. Should two opposing players touch the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, then no assist is awarded. If the goal scorer loses and then regains possession, then no assist is awarded.
If a shot on goal is blocked by an opposition player, is saved by a goalkeeper or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored from the rebound, then an assist is awarded.
If a player shoots or passes the ball and forces an opposing player to put the ball in his own net, then an assist is awarded.
In the event of a penalty or free-kick, the player earning the penalty or free-kick is awarded an assist if a goal is directly scored, but not if he takes it himself, in which case no assist is given.
Assist points awarded by Opta within Fantasy Premier League are calculated using additional stats which may differ from other websites. For example, some other sites would not show an assist where a player has won a penalty.
For the avoidance of doubt, points awarded in-game are subject to change up until one hour after the final whistle of the last match of any given day. Once the points have all been updated on that day, no further adjustments to points will be made.
The Bonus Points System (BPS) utilises a range of statistics to create a BPS score for every player. The three best performing players in each match will be awarded bonus points. 3 points will be awarded to the highest scoring player, 2 to the second best and 1 to the third.
Examples of how bonus point ties will be resolved are as follows:
Players score BPS points based on the following statistics (one point for each unless otherwise stated):
| Action | BPS |
|---|---|
| Playing 1 to 60 minutes | 3 |
| Playing over 60 minutes | 6 |
| Goalkeepers and defenders scoring a goal | 12 |
| Midifielders scoring a goal | 18 |
| Forwards scoring a goal | 24 |
| Assists | 9 |
| Goalkeepers and defenders keeping a clean sheet | 12 |
| Saving a penalty | 15 |
| Save | 2 |
| Successful open play cross | 1 |
| Creating a big chance (a chance where the receiving player should score) | 3 |
| For every 2 clearances, blocks and interceptions (total) | 1 |
| For every 3 recoveries | 1 |
| Key pass | 1 |
| Successful tackle (net*) | 2 |
| Successful dribble | 1 |
| Scoring the goal that wins a match | 3 |
| 70 to 79% pass completion (at least 30 passes attempted) | 2 |
| 80 to 89% pass completion (at least 30 passes attempted) | 4 |
| 90%+ pass completion (at least 30 passes attempted) | 6 |
| Conceding a penalty | -3 |
| Missing a penalty | -6 |
| Yellow card | -3 |
| Red card | -9 |
| Own goal | -6 |
| Missing a big chance | -3 |
| Making an error which leads to a goal | -3 |
| Making an error which leads to an attempt at goal | -1 |
| Being tackled | -1 |
| Conceding a foul | -1 |
| Being caught offside | -1 |
| Shot off target | -1 |
*Net successful tackles is the total of all successful tackles minus any unsuccessful tackles. Players will not be awarded negative BPS points for this statistic.
Data is supplied by Opta and once it has been marked as final will not be changed. We will not enter into discussion around any of the statistics used to calculate this score for any individual match.
After entering your squad, you can join and create leagues to compete with friends and other game players.
Private leagues are the heart and soul of the game, where you compete against your friends. Just create a league and then send out the unique code to allow your friends to join, easy!
You can compete in up to 15 private leagues. There's no limit on the number of teams in a single league.
Need an extra challenge? Then join a public league of 20 randomly assigned teams. You can compete in up to 3 public leagues.
You are automatically entered into the following global leagues:
All leagues score on either a Classic or Head-to-Head basis.
In a league with classic scoring, teams are ranked based on their total points in the game. You can join or leave a league with classic scoring at any point during the season.
In the event of a tie between teams, the team who has made the least amount of transfers will be positioned higher. Any transfers made using a wildcard or free hit will not count towards total transfers made.
Classic scoring leagues are run over a number of phases:
| Phase | First Gameweek | Last Gameweek |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | Gameweek 1 | Gameweek 38 |
| August | Gameweek 1 | Gameweek 3 |
| September | Gameweek 4 | Gameweek 7 |
| October | Gameweek 8 | Gameweek 10 |
| November | Gameweek 11 | Gameweek 14 |
| December | Gameweek 15 | Gameweek 21 |
| January | Gameweek 22 | Gameweek 25 |
| February | Gameweek 26 | Gameweek 28 |
| March | Gameweek 29 | Gameweek 32 |
| April | Gameweek 33 | Gameweek 36 |
| May | Gameweek 37 | Gameweek 38 |
Any transfer point deductions in the Gameweek before a phase starts won't be deducted from the phase score. For example, any transfers made in Gameweek 3 (preparing for Gameweek 4) won't be deducted from your September score.
In a league with head-to-head scoring, every team plays a match against another team in the league each Gameweek. The match result is based on the Gameweek score of each team minus any transfer points spent preparing for the Gameweek.
3 points are awarded for a win and 1 point for a draw, teams are then ranked on points earned in Head-to-Head matches.
Head-to-Head fixtures are generated at the start of the league's first Gameweek. Once these fixtures have been generated the league is locked and teams will not be able to join or leave.
If a Head-to-Head league has an odd number of teams then an average team will join the league to ensure each team has a fixture every Gameweek. This team will always score the Gameweek average.
In the event of a tie between teams, the team who has most game points will be positioned higher.
Optionally, a Head-to-Head league may end with a knock-out stage over up to 3 Gameweeks with the league winner decided by a match in the final Gameweek. The automatically entered average team will not enter the knock-out stage, their place being taken by the next placed team.
In the event of a tie between teams in a Head-to-Head knock-out match, the following tie-breaks will be used:
The first round of the cup will be Gameweek 17.
The top 4,194,304 scorers in Gameweek 16 will enter the first round. If there are more than 4,194,304 qualifiers then there will be a random draw amongst the lowest scorers to see who qualifies.
Each qualifying team will be randomly drawn against another in the first round. The winner (the team with the highest Gameweek score minus any transfer points), will progress to the second round and another random draw, the losers are out! This process continues until the final Gameweek when the two remaining teams contest the cup final.
If a cup match is drawn, then the following tie-breaks will be applied until a winner is found:
