How to play fantasy football

The idea of the game is to select a fantasy football team from real players playing in the Premier League. Every Week each player is given score based on their performance in the real league. The players totals are added together to give a team score for the week. Each week the team score is added to the last and compared to the team scores of others in your league. The fantasy football team with the most points goes to the top of the fantasy football league - the others are positioned to de-cending order down the league.

Picking your team

Once you have logged in will see a User Menu on the right hand side. Click on "Team Management" and you will see the team management page.

By August 10th, you must pick a team consisting of 1 keeper, 4 x defenders, 3 x midfielders and 3 x forwards. You can drag players from the list on the left in to position on the pitch and your budget balance is adjusted accordingly. Your budget is £60m.

You can save your team at any time by clicking "Save" and make as many changes as you wish, even if you do so at a later date. When you are happy with your team you must activate it by clicking "Play!". Once you have activated your team you may not adjust your team unless you want to use your transfers. Your team is also now viewable to the public. It is important that you click "Play!" before August 11th otherwise your team will not be submitted in time for the first week's games.

Transfers

You have an allocation of 12 transfers during the season and can use up to a maximum of 3 per week. Transfers will not come in to effect until the following Saturday so if transfers are made on a Friday they will come in to force the following day but if they are made on a Saturday then you will have to wait a week for them to become valid.

To transfer a player go back to the "Team Selection" page and either remove players you want to take out and drag in the new ones or you can (budget permitting) just drag the new players on top of the ones you want to transfer out. When you are happy with your transfers you must click on "Save Changes" for your transfers to take effect.
