FANTASY XI

Pick any upcoming Premier League fixture, build an XI of 11 players within a 100-credit budget (1 goalkeeper, at least 3 defenders, 3 midfielders and 1 forward, max 8 from one club), choose a captain (2× points) and vice-captain (1.5× points), and save before kickoff. Your team scores from real match stats.

The season kicks off on 21 August 2026 with Arsenal v Coventry City. You can pick a Fantasy XI for any gameweek from that date — pre-season is the perfect time to plan your Gameweek 1 side.

Yes. Fantasy XI is completely free and skill-based — no entry fees, no real-money prizes, no deposits, and no app download.

Yes — the player pool is all 20 Premier League clubs and 600+ players. The only limits are the 100-credit budget and a maximum of 8 players from any single club.

In Fantasy XI everyone can pick from the whole player pool within a budget, so two managers can own the same player. In the Player Draft you and your friends take turns and each player can only be owned by one manager. Both are free.

Your captain scores double (2×) their match points and your vice-captain scores 1.5×. Captaincy is the biggest single swing each gameweek — back an in-form attacker with a favourable fixture.

Each Fantasy XI locks at the match kickoff time. After that you cannot edit your team for that match.

Goals score by position (defender 6, midfielder 5, forward 4), assists +3, clean sheets for defenders and goalkeepers, save and defensive bonuses, minus cards, own goals and missed penalties. Your captain scores 2× and vice-captain 1.5×.
