Frequently asked questions

Here you'll find answers to the most common questions about our Fantasy Football game. From how to score points to specific scenarios, we aim to cover everything you need to know for a successful season.

What's the main idea of your Fantasy Football game?
The main idea is to predict how the Premier League will finish in the 2026-27 season. Players must order teams from 1 to 20 based on their predicted final league positions.

How do players win or score points?
Points are scored based on how accurately your predictions match the actual final league standings. For example, if you predict Arsenal to win the league and they do, you get points. If they don't, you get nothing for that specific prediction.

Are there any really key rules players need to know?
Players submit their initial order of teams from 1 to 20. Points are then awarded based on where each team actually finishes in the league. The closer your prediction to the actual finishing position, the more points you receive. Accuracy is key!

What if the team I predict to win comes 2nd?
If the team you predict to win (1st place) actually finishes 2nd, you will receive 0 points for that specific prediction.

What if the team I predict to come last actually wins it?
If you predict a team to finish last (20th place) and they actually win the league (1st place), you will receive one point for that prediction.

How are ties handled if multiple players have the same score?
In the event of a tie, the player with the most accurate predictions for the top 4 teams will be given precedence. Further tie-breakers may be introduced if necessary, but will be communicated in advance.

Can I change my predictions after the season starts?
No, all predictions must be submitted before the start of the Premier League season. Once submitted, they are final for the duration of the 2026-27 season.
