Play it your way
One of the more intriguing aspects of English football’s incredibly popular FPL subculture is the weird world of alternative games.
Sure, the classic leagues and head-to-heads and drafts are great, and the cup bolt-ons add a little flavour, but what if you’re looking for full-on spice?
Let’s explore some tasty FPL hacks and alternative play modes.
Wooden spoon
Why be good when you can be good at being bad? It’s not as easy as you think and none of the FPL experts are in your ear every week telling you the answer.
The rules are simple and you’ll probably want to set up a second team for this particular mini-league with your pals and acquaintances.
Every manager in the league has to have an empty bank for every gameweek but the aim is to score the fewest points possible over the season. Tricky!
You don’t win friends with Salah
Have you found FPL increasingly tedious in recent seasons?
I get it. One year it’s Mo Salah, the next it’s Erling Haaland, the next it’s Mo Salah again – everyone picks the same big dogs and if you bark up a different tree just to do something else, you end up looking and smelling like a human fire hydrant.
Thankfully, it’s easily rectified if you have like-minded FPLaymates. Simply ban the signing of Salah, Haaland and any other predictable big hitters you want to rule out.
Salah scored 344 points last season. Absolutely silly business.
Squad specifics
If we’re talking about voluntarily imposed rules in a closed mini-league, why not go all out?
You could have a league consisting only of players over or under 23 years old or only from clubs north of Watford Gap. You could rule out whole clubs you don’t want included, like, ooh, Manchester City.
You could even get really into the weeds and set some rules based on the players’ names or which foot they prefer to use. But I wouldn’t advise it.
Forfeits
The point of FPL for lots of friendship groups and workplaces is to enjoy a little healthy competition between familiars, which means the good stuff is happening offline.
If you really want to ramp up the Scovilles, nothing beats a sliding scale of real-world forfeits based on parameters of your choosing.
However you play FPL this season, enjoy.
And don’t forget to join the AVF leagues using the codes above. We’d love for you to be involved.
