A manager may enter one Fantasy Premier League squad, multiple
squads will be deleted. Squads must consist of:
You can select up to 3 players from any one team. If a player is
transferred during the season and this transfer takes you over this
limit, then you will need to go back under the limit when making
your next transfers.
Each player has been given a value. The total value of your
initial squad must not exceed £100 million. The value of each
player can be found here.
From your 15 player-squad you select 11 players to form your
team each Gameweek. Only starting or automatically substituted players
will earn points for your team.
Your team can play in any formation providing one goalkeeper and
at least three defenders and one forward are selected.
To change your formation simply select your chosen eleven
players on the My Team page. The computer will automatically chose
your formation based on the players you have selected.
Players can only play in their designated position. For example,
you can't play a defender as an attacker.
Any changes you make to your team will become active at the next
deadline.
You must nominate a member of your team to be captain. This
player will score double the number of points he would usually have
been awarded that Gameweek.
If your captain does not play then he will be automatically substituted in
accordance with the rules at the end of the gameweek. A new
captain, either the player with the highest form or price value at
the start of the gameweek, will then be selected based on your
emergency captain strategy.
You can change your captain and emergency strategy at the bottom
of the My Team page. Any changes you make will become active at the
next deadline.
If your goalkeeper plays no part in the Gameweek, then the
computer will substitute him for your replacement goalkeeper, if he
played in the Gameweek.
If any of your outfield players play no part in the Gameweek,
then the computer will try to substitute the inactive player for
one of your replacements. This is done by replacing him with your
highest priority substitute who actually played in the Gameweek and
doesn't break the formation rules.
Automatic substitutions are applied at the end of the Gameweek,
when all matches have been played.
You can change your substitution priorities at the bottom of the
My Team page. Any changes you make to your substitution priorities
will become active at the next deadline.
After selecting your squad you can still deal in the transfer
market. Unlimited squad transfers can be made, 1 transfer can be
made between each gameweek deadline without charge. Each additional
transfer made in the same gameweek will deduct 4 points from your
total at the next deadline.
If you don't use your free transfer then you'll be able to make
an additional free transfer the following gameweek. These saved
transfers don't accumulate and can only be used the following
gameweek.
All transfers before the start of the season are made at no
cost. For teams entering after the start of the season, no points
will be deducted before their first deadline.
You can play 1 transfer wild card a season. All transfers made
in the Gameweek your wild card is played will be without points
deduction. You play your wild card when confirming transfers.
Any transfers you make will become active at the next
deadline.
Any changes to your team (substitutions, transfers, captain
changes, substitution priorities) must be made by the Gameweek
deadline to take effect for that set of matches.
