What is Bet365 Premier League Season Fantasy Game

If you play the official Fantasy Premier League on premierleague.com, there is very little difference in terms of format, rules and scoring points.
Users are tasked with initially selecting and then managing a 15-man squad throughout all the 38 gameweekes of the 2023/24 Premier League season.
Wanna start playing Bet365 FPL for the upcoming season? Just follow these simple steps:
- Sign-up for free or log-in you existing Bet365 account
- Head to the fantasy sports section and select Bet365 Fantasy Game - Season 23/24 (click on 'Play for free')
- Use your £100m starting budget to pick 15 players (2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 forwards)
- Select your starting line-up for the next gameweek. Also specify your captain and vice-captain. You captain scores double points and if he doesn't play, your vice-captain scores double points.
The more points your players score the more chances you have to get the top prize or a consolation prize.
Manage your team week by week by transferring players and changing your starting XI. You have a free transfer each week.
You can accumulate unused transfers and carry them to the next gameweeks.
For each extra transfer made, a 4-point transfer penalty will be issued.
Don't forget you have 2 wildcars that allow you unlimited transfers in a week. You can use the first wildcard in gameweeks 2-19 and the second one in the second half of the season. Once a wildcard is activated, the free transfer balance is reset to zero.
Differences between Bet365 and Premier League Fantasy Football
Below we have summarized the main difference between the official FPL game and Bet365's one:
- Price changes do not begin until Gameweek 3
- Wildcard is the only chip – one to use by Gameweek 19, the other from Gameweek 20 onwards. There's no Triple Captain neither Bench Boost and Free Hits.
- Each week’s deadline goes right up to the first match’s kick-off
- The saving up of free transfers is limitless, rather than being capped at two
There are also slight differences in the scoring system:
- No bonus points are assigned
- Midfielders and forwards will now get one more for completing a match
- Goalkeepers get +8 points if they score, +5 if they save a penalty and +0.5 points for every save (instead of 1 point for every three save)
- Shots on target are rewarded: +0.3 per shots for forwards, +0.4 for midfielders, +0.6 for defenders and +1 point per shots on target for goalkeepers.
- Conceding a penalty loses two points
- Conceding a scored free kick also loses two points
- Moreover, players get +0.3 if their time on pitch sees their team win (or -0.3 if that period is a loss)
