finishing in the top 10,000.

best 1,000 teams. And, to repeat, it’s ☀️ all for free.
all you need to do is register a
bet365 account!Exclusive to bet365 users, entries are strictly limited to ☀️ one per
customer – so no annoying duplicate teams to worry about here.
HOW TO PLAY: RULES AND
POINTS
If you play ☀️ Fantasy Premier League (FPL), there’s very little difference in
terms of rules and scoring points. Your 15-man squad has a ☀️ £100m budget, where the
captain scores double points and there’s one free transfer per Gameweek.
Unlimited
changes can be made to ☀️ your team until Gameweek 1 commences.
Similarly, there’s a limit
of three players per Premier League team and each excessive transfer ☀️ costs four
points.
Late registration for bet365’s Fantasy Game is available up until 30th
September – the start of Gameweek 7. ☀️ Those entering late will begin with zero
points.
HOW TO PLAY: DIFFERENCES TO FPL
However, a few things have been tweaked from
☀️ the official FPL game:
Wildcard is the only chip – one to use by Gameweek 19, the other
from Gameweek 20 ☀️ onwards
The saving up of free transfers is limitless, rather than
being capped at two
Each week’s deadline goes right up to ☀️ the first match’s
kick-off
Price changes don’t begin until Gameweek 3
There will be no bonus points.
Instead, the game adds some ☀️ alternative routes to success:
On top of the usual
appearance points, midfielders and forwards will now get one more for completing ☀️ a
match
Goalkeepers that score – hello, Alisson (£6.0m) – get eight points, rather than
six
(£6.0m) – get eight points, rather ☀️ than six Instead of a save point for every three
stops, there will simply be 0.5 added each time
Shots on ☀️ target are rewarded – forwards
get 0.3, midfielders get 0.4, whilst defenders (0.6) and goalkeepers (1.0) are also
considered
Impact points ☀️ award +0.3 if a player’s time on the pitch sees his team win.
Alternatively, it’s -0.3 if that period is ☀️ a loss.
Conceding a penalty loses two
points, as does conceding a scored free kick.
INITIAL PRICE LIST REACTION
It’s perhaps
tougher to ☀️ find a bargain in this game but, on the flip side, premium assets Erling
Haaland (£12.5m), Harry Kane (£11.5m), Mohamed ☀️ Salah (£12.0m) and Trent
Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m) are all cheaper than in FPL.
Back-up goalkeepers have a price
only narrowly behind their ☀️ first-choice team-mate, with Ederson (£6.0m) and Alisson
going beyond the £5.5m FPL limit.
Gabriel (£6.0m) and Sven Botman (£5.5m) are one
☀️ million more expensive but at least Pervis Estupinan (£5.0m) and Chelsea full-backs
remain the same. There’s even a lower-priced Alex ☀️ Moreno (£4.5m), with Diego Carlos and
some Nottingham Forest stoppers amongst those joining many of the popular £4.0m names
we ☀️ have seen in FPL.
Meanwhile, Bukayo Saka (£10.0m) is up from £8.5m, as Bruno
Fernandes (£9.5m), Phil Foden (£8.5m), Raheem Sterling ☀️ (£8.0m), Kaoru Mitoma (£7.5m)
and Eberechi Eze (£7.5m) all begin one million higher. Perhaps Dejan Kulusevski (£6.0m)
is underpriced?
Sheffield United ☀️ talisman Iliman Ndiaye (£6.0m) is interestingly listed
as a midfielder here, although Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) moves in the opposite
direction.
No ☀️ forward is below £5.0m, while the likes of Gabriel Jesus (£8.5m), Callum
Wilson (£8.5m) and Christopher Nkunku (8.0m) exceed their ☀️ FPL prices.
It promises to be
a real test of your Fantasy expertise – but the prizes on offer are an ☀️ attractive
reward…ENTER BET365’S £500K PREMIER LEAGUE FANTASY GAME HERE
