FPL Challenge is LIVE, with managers now able to create their squad for Gameweek 1 of the 2024/25 season.
After sweeping changes to the game were announced on Tuesday, you can now get down to picking your 5-a-side team for the first challenge, where you have an unlimited budget and are able to use any formation.
Season-long mini-leagues
Last season in FPL Challenge, any Fantasy points earned in a Gameweek soon disappeared, with managers starting from zero again for the following Gameweek.
This season, while you can still dip in and out of FPL Challenge and play for individual Gameweeks, you’ll also now have the option of making it a season-long competition, accumulating a combined points score over the campaign.
You will be able to compete in the overall global league or create a mini-league with your friends to see who will come out on top, just like in Fantasy Premier League.
There will be some BIG prizes up for grabs, which will match the seasonal prizes in Fantasy.
'Events' start with 5-a-side
This season, you will be able to compete to win “events”. Events are a collection of Gameweeks in FPL Challenge which all have the same theme.
In your mini-leagues, you’ll be able to see the points being scored across the events, in addition to the overall season-long standings.
It’s a competition within a competition, allowing managers to focus on winning their mini-league over just a handful of Gameweeks.
To kick off the season, we launch with a 5-a-side event, which will run across the first four Gameweeks.
For each of the challenges in this event, you only have to pick five players! Here’s the schedule...
Remember, the main Fantasy game is already LIVE and you can pick your squad NOW!
