Guide for Initiating in Fantasy Premier League 2025-26 Season
The new season of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is upon us, and it's time for football fans to test their managerial skills! Here's a step-by-step guide for beginners to get started.
1. Create Your Team
With a budget of £100 million, you'll need to select a squad of 15 players: 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders, and 3 forwards. Each player costs a portion of your budget, and you must form a valid starting lineup of 11 players in permitted formations such as 3-4-3 or 4-4-2.
2. Build Your Squad Wisely
To reduce risk, especially for your first gameweek, focus on players with proven strong performances from previous seasons. Avoid taking too many risks on unknown or new players. Look at past points data to pick reliable core team members.
3. Select a Captain and Vice-Captain
Each gameweek, choose a captain who scores double points. Pick the player most likely to perform well based on form and fixtures. Your vice-captain will earn double if the captain doesn’t play.
4. Understand the Rules and Scoring
Players earn points for goals, assists, clean sheets, saves, etc. Monitor your team’s value, use chips (special powers) strategically, and make transfers carefully each gameweek.
5. Research Fixtures and Analysis
Study team fixtures, defensive and attacking strengths, and player rotation combinations to optimize your squad selection and transfers.
6. Avoid Emotional Decisions
Make your team choices based on logic and data, not emotions or crowd-following, especially for your initial picks.
7. Keep an Eye on Deadlines
Finalize your squad a few days before the season starts to make more considered decisions.
For detailed beginner-friendly guides covering step-by-step rules, tips, and strategies, it is useful to read dedicated FPL beginner guides that explain squad building, scoring, chips, and transfer rules in easy terms.
In summary, start by creating a balanced, data-driven team within your budget, pick reliable players from past seasons, choose a captain wisely, learn the game rules, and plan around fixtures while avoiding rash decisions as a beginner in FPL 2021.
Happy managing!
