Joining the Fantasy Premier League this season is a fantasy competition for the EFL Championship, League One and League Two. Yet, Fantasy Premier League involves teams just from the English top flight. Fantasy EFL is a pool of all players from the second, third and fourth divisions in England. That means the 72 clubs in the EFL beneath the Premier League have their players available for selection in the fantasy league. That amounts to almost 2,000 players available for selection in the competition.
There are key differences between Fantasy EFL and the Fantasy Premier League that many fans are already familiar with. For example, Fantasy PL involves a full XI of players. You can pivot your formation around, but the side must have multiple defenders, midfielders and forwards to go along with a goalkeeper. Fantasy EFL generally follows the same format but with fewer players. Rather than creating a full XI, players in the new league will have a dream team of seven. Users can pick from four formations, but that means one goalkeeper, two to three defenders, two to three midfielders and one or two forwards. Players allocate a captain among their squad who then earns double points.
Another key difference is that players will also select two clubs. Each matchday, the two clubs selected will have a role in the player’s final score. You can pick teams from multiple divisions, but players are limited to picking a team no more than five times. In other words, players cannot rely on the title-winning side from the EFL Championship throughout the season. Teams get points for your fantasy side with wins, with more points rolling in for away wins and scoring multiple goals.
From then on, there are no differences between Fantasy EFL and Fantasy PL. Individual players earn points for performances. Goals, assists, saves, defensive actions and player-of-the-game performances all earn points.
