Put your FPL skills to the test with BoyleSports’ brilliant free-to-play game, Fantasy5, and stand a chance of taking home the weekly jackpot of €5,000.

BoyleSports Fantasy5

What is it?

BoyleSports' Fantasy5 is a free-to-play game based on the popular Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game. There’s a new Fantasy5 game for each Premier League gameweek.

How does it work?

You need to pick 5 players from 5 different Premier League games pre-selected by BoyleSports. Each of the five players you select must beat their fantasy points target set by BoyleSports for you to win.

Cool. How do players score points then?

BoyleSports Fantasy5 Tips

One of the best things about BoyleSports Fantasy5 is you can pick the players you want; you don't have to worry about any budget constraints.

But bear in mind the top players come with high scores. It might be unrealistic to think five elite players will all score highly (unless you have five Erling Haaland's of course!)

Balance is key to any winning team, right?

Choosing a blend of players (not just the best ones like De Bruyne, Salah and the aforementioned Haaland) might give you a better chance of making sure every player meets their target.

If you’re new to FPL, you're best to do some research before making your picks. Checking player stats including starts, goals and assists is the way to make sure you bag the points you need!

Right, I’m in. How do I get started?

Just follow the steps below to get the ball rolling.

And if you're not into football at all, you can choose random players and still potentially win a load of cash or a free bet!
