Introduction

Fantasy football gives you the chance to step into the shoes of a football manager and take control of your very own team. You pick the players, balance the imaginary budget and make transfers in the quest for glory and some fantastic prizes. Unlike a simulated football management game the players you select will score points based on what they do in real-life Premier League matches. The team that gains the most points over the course of the season will top the overall standings.

Players score points for goals, assists and clean sheets, but if a player isn't producing the goods on the pitch you can easily replace him by using one of your allocated transfers. At the start of the season you are given a number of transfers to use over the course of the campaign so that you can make tactical changes or replace players that are injured.

As well as competing in the overall, and monthly, competitions you can also battle it out with your friends, colleagues and even your enemies in your very own Private League. This is where the real drama takes place as you compete against your mates for bragging rights in a league of your own.
