No budgets. No transfer deadlines. No price changes, captaincy math, or chips. Pick your players, invite your friends, and watch the matches. Fantasy Playoffs brings snake and pool formats to the 2026-27 Premier League season for people who want the fun without the homework.
If you've looked at Fantasy Premier League and closed the tab, you're who this is for. FPL asks you to manage a 100 million pound budget, track player price changes, make transfers against a deadline every single week, pick a captain, and play chips at the right moment, for nine months. It's a great game. It's also a part-time job.
Here it works the way fantasy works with your friends in any other sport. Pick a format, invite your group, build your roster, and you're done. Your players score points when they play well. No weekly maintenance required.
Two formats, both built for groups:
Snake. A live draft with your friends. Once a player is taken, he's gone, so no two rosters look alike and nobody can copy the template team. Draft once before kickoff and let the season play out.
Pool. No draft. Everyone picks a squad from the same player pool in about five minutes. The best picks win. This is the format for the friend who watches every match but has never played fantasy anything.
The World Cup pulled you in. The Premier League is the next nine months of it: matches every weekend, every star you just watched this summer, and a title race that runs to the final day. You don't need to have grown up with FPL to play fantasy soccer. You just need a group chat and ten minutes.
The 2026-27 Premier League runs from August 22, 2026 to May 30, 2027. Twenty teams, 38 matchweeks, no playoffs: the team with the most points at the end wins the title, and the bottom three are relegated. Every match counts, which is exactly what makes the fantasy version work. Fixtures are released June 19.
Simple soccer scoring, the same engine behind our World Cup leagues: goals, assists, and clean sheets score points, with contributions for shots, saves, and defensive play depending on position. Forwards score by scoring, defenders by keeping the ball out. No bonus point system to decode and no price algorithm to outsmart.
Haaland, Salah, Saka, Palmer: the players you watched at the World Cup play here every weekend. A fantasy roster gives you a reason to care about every match, not just your club's.
No budgets, no transfers, no deadlines, no chips. Set your roster and watch. If you can pick a March Madness bracket, you can play this.
Snake drafts for your soccer diehards, pools for everyone else. One league covers the friend who knows every squad rotation and the friend who just learned what offside means.

Yes. Fantasy Playoffs runs Premier League fantasy with no budgets, no transfers, and no weekly deadlines. You pick a roster in a snake draft or a pool format and your players score points all season. It's built for casual fans and groups of friends.
No. None of those exist here. Those are mechanics from Fantasy Premier League (FPL), the official game. This is a different, simpler way to play: pick players, watch matches, count points.
Yes, that's who this is built for. The formats (snake drafts and pools) are the same ones fantasy players already know from other sports, and the scoring is simple enough to learn in one read. Having a roster is also the fastest way to learn the league itself.
Saturday, August 22, 2026, running through the final day on May 30, 2027. The start is a week later than usual because of the 2026 World Cup.
FPL is a season-long management game: a budget, weekly transfers, price changes, captaincy, and chips, with decisions due every week for 38 matchweeks. Fantasy Playoffs strips all of that out. You build your roster once per league and the season does the rest.
Snake (a live draft where each player can only be on one roster) and pool (everyone picks from the same player pool, no draft, about five minutes to enter).
No. There are no weekly deadlines or required moves. That's the point.
