What Is Fantasy Premier League and Where Do I Find It on premierleague.com?
Updated
Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is the official fantasy football game linked from premierleague.com, where you pick a squad of real Premier League players and score points based on their actual match performances. You reach it from the site's games and quizzes area — the official homepage lists "Games, Quizzes & Polls" and a "More Fantasy Premier League" link among its sections. Because season rules, scoring and entry details change, always confirm the current terms on the site itself before you join.
What Fantasy Premier League actually is
FPL turns real matches into a season-long management game:
- You act as manager. You select real players within a budget and set a lineup each gameweek.
- Real performances become points. Goals, assists, clean sheets and similar events in actual Premier League matches translate into fantasy points.
- It runs alongside the real season. Points accumulate week by week, and you can compare your total against other managers.
The official site describes itself as the home of "all the latest Premier League news and features," and FPL sits within that ecosystem rather than as a separate product.
Where to find it on premierleague.com
The homepage surfaces the game in a few places:
| Entry point | What it signals |
|---|---|
| "Games, Quizzes & Polls" section | The site's hub for interactive games, including fantasy |
| "More Fantasy Premier League" link | A direct route into FPL content |
| "Latest News & Features" | Announcements and updates that often cover the game |
If you land on the homepage and don't see the link immediately, look for the games and quizzes area rather than the news feed — that is where interactive products are grouped.
How to get started
- Open premierleague.com and locate the games and quizzes area or the Fantasy Premier League link.
- Read the current rules and scoring page before picking a team — scoring categories and squad rules are set per season.
- Create your entry following the site's sign-up flow, then build a squad within the stated budget.
- Verify your team is saved and check the deadline for the first gameweek.
- Track your points after matches, using the site's league and points views.
Expected result: a saved squad that scores points from real matches, with your rank visible against other managers.
Common sticking points
- Rules change between seasons. Don't rely on last year's scoring or budget assumptions; check the current season's pages.
- Deadlines are strict. Team changes typically lock before each gameweek's first match, so confirm the deadline shown on the site.
- Account requirements aren't stated in the source material. Whether sign-up needs an existing Premier League account, and any regional restrictions, should be confirmed on the site rather than assumed.
- It's a game, not a betting product. FPL is presented as a free-to-play-style fantasy game within the site's games area; treat any commercial terms as something to verify on the official pages.
Bottom line
Fantasy Premier League is the official site's fantasy game, reachable through the "Games, Quizzes & Polls" area and the "More Fantasy Premier League" link on premierleague.com. Start there, read the current season's rules, and confirm entry requirements on the site before building your squad.
