Fantasy Premier League for beginners: how FPL works, how to build your team, pick a captain and avoid rookie mistakes — a simple guide for Indian fans.
Fantasy Premier League is one of the best ways to enjoy the football season, and it is free. This beginner's guide to Fantasy Premier League shows you how it works and how to build a smart team from day one.
You get a fixed budget to pick 15 players — goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards — and they score points based on real-life performances: goals, assists, clean sheets and more. Each gameweek you pick a start…
Your captain scores double, so back a reliable, in-form attacker. You get one free transfer per gameweek — don't take needless hits chasing last week's points.
Don't rank chase too early, don't ignore fixtures, and don't fall for one big score. Fantasy Premier League rewards patience and planning across the season.
