The Problem

Fantasy football shouldn't feel like a second job.

FPL is brilliant — but it demands a serious time commitment. If any of these sound familiar, FPG was made for you.

01
Hours of research every week

Fixtures, form, ownership percentages, differentials — the rabbit hole never ends. What starts as fun quickly becomes homework.

02
The transfer that ruins your weekend

One free transfer, infinite regret. Hit minus-4 for a second? Even worse. The agonising is part of the punishment.

03
The injury crisis you didn't see coming

Your premium captain limped off in the warm-up. Again. FPL can feel like luck more than skill half the time.

04
Your mates quit by December

Half the group drifts away before Christmas. The mini-league you set up in August is a ghost town by New Year.

Who it's for

Sound like anyone you know?

FPG was built for football fans who want the rivalry without the research.

The Busy Fan
Football matters. FPL doesn't fit.

You care about the Premier League but you've got a life. FPG fits around it — not the other way round. One decision, done.

The Pub League Regular
Bragging rights. Not a spreadsheet.

Mini-leagues, head-to-head scoring, weekly drama in the group chat. The banter writes itself every round.

The FPL Dropout
You loved it — until you didn't.

The wildcard panic. The triple captain regret. FPG strips it back to what you actually enjoyed about football.

The Casual Fan
You follow football. That's enough.

No stats required. If you know your Premier League teams, you can play FPG. Set up in two minutes, pick in under one.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is a good alternative to Fantasy Premier League?

FPG is a great alternative to Fantasy Premier League. It strips away all the complexity — no squads, no transfers, no captain picks. Just one team selection per round. You can set it up in minutes and it takes under a minute to play each week.

Is FPG better than FPL?

They serve different audiences. FPL rewards deep analysis and time investment. FPG is for people who want to stay connected to the Premier League and compete with friends — without the time commitment. If you've ever drifted away from FPL mid-season, FPG is worth trying.

What games are similar to Fantasy Premier League but simpler?

FPG is designed specifically as a simpler alternative. Other options include Super 6 (weekly score predictions) and various accumulator-style games. FPG is unique in combining season-long group competition with a single-pick-per-round format.

Can I play FPG alongside FPL?

Absolutely. FPG takes under a minute each round, so it's easy to run alongside FPL. Many players use FPG with a different group of friends — particularly those who wouldn't commit to a full FPL season.

Does FPG have the same social element as FPL?

Yes — and arguably more direct. FPG's head-to-head scoring means your picks can directly affect your opponents' scores when you're both picking from the same fixture. Private groups let you compete with the same crew all season long.
