Love Football.
Hate the Faff.
FPG is the stripped-back alternative to Fantasy Premier League. One pick per round. No squads, no transfers, no weekly homework. Just football — and your mates.
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.
Fixtures, form, ownership percentages, differentials — the rabbit hole never ends. What starts as fun quickly becomes homework.
One free transfer, infinite regret. Hit minus-4 for a second? Even worse. The agonising is part of the punishment.
Your premium captain limped off in the warm-up. Again. FPL can feel like luck more than skill half the time.
Half the group drifts away before Christmas. The mini-league you set up in August is a ghost town by New Year.

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.
