Join the Gulf News Fantasy Premier League — where every goal is personal

Many of you are already familiar with Fantasy Premier League, so we’ve decided to create a league for Gulf News readers to make the new season even more fun-filled season when the English Premier League action begins on .

Simply put, you get £100 million (virtual money) to buy 15 real Premier League players. Pick 11 each week, and when they perform well in actual matches, you earn points. Your captain gets double points, so choose wisely!

It’s all about believing in your notion. It might work or sometimes don’t. Your expensive striker will miss sitters while your mate’s differential pick scores hat-tricks. That’s the beautiful madness of football and FPL, it turns every match into a personal rollercoaster.

You get limited transfers each week, so planning is key. Towards the end of the season, there will double gameweeks when some teams play twice, potentially doubling your points if you pick right. There are also special chips available that you have to use wisely to stand a chance of climbing ahead of your friends in the league table. For complete rules and detailed information about chips, transfers, and scoring, visit the official Fantasy Premier League website at fantasy.premierleague.com or check out this detailed guide: https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4060363

Here’s what happens to many fans, Monday you’ll curse your team selection. Tuesday you’ll plan the perfect transfers. Wednesday you’ll panic about injuries. Friday you’ll captain someone with complete confidence. Weekend arrives, and you’ll watch matches like your life depends on whether your captain scores or defender keeps a clean sheet.

It’s all about having fun. It’s about the bragging rights. Nothing better than getting the bragging rights during weekend tea time with your mates while sitting atop the Gulf News FPL league, while they are struggling in mid-table or relegation mediocrity.
