Author : sportz akz | Published On : 12 Nov 2026

For Premier League fans, Fantasy Premier League turns every weekend into a personal contest. Millions of managers build their own teams and score points based on how real players perform on the pitch.

At the start you get a budget of 100 million pounds to sign 15 players: two goalkeepers, five defenders, five midfielders and three forwards. You can pick a maximum of three players from any single club, so building a balanced squad is the real skill.

Each gameweek you choose your starting eleven and a captain. The captain scores double points, so handing the armband to an in-form player is crucial. Points are awarded for goals, assists and clean sheets.

Throughout the season you can use special chips such as the Wildcard, Triple Captain and Bench Boost. The rules change slightly from season to season, so it is worth checking an updated guide.
