LB Group Fantasy Premier League!
As per Olly Sharman’s email on the 18th July:
Hi All,
With the new Premier League season less than 1 month away, I have set up a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) open to everyone in LB Group.
I am sure many of you already play/have played FPL in the past, but for those who haven’t below is a summary of the rules:
Getting Started:
You have a budget of £100m, and from this, you must select two goalkeepers, five defenders, five midfielders and three forwards with a maximum of three players from any one Premier League team.
Point System:
Each ‘Gameweek’ you select a starting 11 and 4 substitutes. Your starting 11 receive Fantasy Points based on real life performance: goals, assists, saves, clean sheets and bonus points.
Transfers:
Each Gameweek, you are awarded one free transfer, which you can bank, although you can only carry over a maximum of two. Your free transfer enables you to make changes to your team without incurring a point hit, but be aware that every move over your limit will cost four points.
Chips:
Each player receives a finite number of chips to use throughout the season, and each has its reasoning. Only one chip can be used across any game week.
- Wildcard – Over the season, you can use two FPL Wildcards that reward you with unlimited transfers.
- Bench Boost – Using this chip means that points accumulated by substitutes will be added to your overall game week points tally.
- Free Hit – This chip is similar to a Wildcard in that you get unlimited transfers for one week only. They are not permanent – and your squad will revert to how it was after the game week is complete.
- Triple Captain – Your captain will earn triple points for one game instead of the usual double.
