More than 30,000 New Zealand fans entered the biggest football competition in the world last year – and it’s time to pit your wits against them again.
Fantasy Premier League (FPL) attracted 8.8 million players from around the world for the last English Premier League season and at least as many are expected to enter for the new season beginning on August 14.
FPL is a free-to-enter online game in which you pick 15 players, within a budget of £100 million, and then manage your team week-to-week.
You get to decide your starting line-up, your captain and can make transfers. Points are gained by your team when your players score, claim clean sheets or assists – and they drop points when they concede goals or pick up cautions.
It’s easy, it’s fun and it’s a great way to follow the EPL each week.
