What is Fantasy EFL?

Fantasy EFL's hybrid format allows you to pick seven players and two Clubs from a combination of all three divisions, with around 2,000 players from 72 EFL Clubs to choose from!

Managers can select their seven-player squads from three different formation variations, including 1-2-2-2, 1-2-3-1 and 1-3-2-1.

Fantasy EFL is completely free of charge. To play, you must first register or login with an existing EFL online account. After registering for an EFL online account, choose your wittiest team name, and let the fun begin! Compete with your friends and fellow supporters of your Club in your own created mini-leagues.

You will automatically be enrolled into the min-league of the Club you choose to support, finish top of your Club's rankings and you'll win a season ticket! More information on prizes to follow below.

Essential Information

Club and player selection

There are no restrictions on how many times you can select an individual player over the course of the season, but you can only select a maximum of two players from any one club each Gameweek.

You can only select an individual Club a maximum of five times over the course of the season, so choose with caution!

You can make as many changes to your team as you like each Gameweek – there are no limits on the number of transfers and no player prices, so you can swap out all seven players and two Clubs every week.

Captain and vice captain

Each Gameweek, you must choose a captain who will earn double points for your team. You can change your captain as many times as you like until they become locked, but you cannot switch to a player who has already played in the current gameweek.

You also need to select a vice-captain, who will earn double points only if your captain does not play. Like the captain, you can change your vice-captain as many times as you want until they are locked, but not to a player who has already played.

Selecting your next Gameweek team

This feature allows players to create their team for the following Gameweek as soon as the existing gameweek kicks off.

For example, if you have saved your team for Gameweek 1, as soon as the first EFL game in 2026/27 kicks off, you’ll be able to select your team for Gameweek 2.

Team roll-over

Your team will roll-over to the next Gameweek automatically, meaning that you will always have a scoring team if you don’t make any changes, assuming that your players are selected to play by their Clubs and your Clubs have a fixture.

If upon your team rolling over it means that you will exceed the selection cap (5) on one of your Clubs, then we will randomly auto-replace that Club with another.

Chips

Fantasy EFL has two chips available for use:

Max Captain: automatically selects your highest scoring player as your gameweek captain (available twice per season)
One Club: allows an unlimited number of players to be selected from one Club (available once)

Rolling lockout system:

Fantasy EFL will implement a rolling lockout whereby players and Clubs will become locked as soon as that player or Club kicks off in the current Gameweek.

Once lockout is active, you will no longer be able to add or remove selections involving that Club.

Once your captain and/or vice-captain become locked, you will no longer be able to change your captain and/or vice-captain.

Lockout will be automatically 12 hours after the final game of the Gameweek is completed.
