Introduction

Extreme Team Football is a fantasy football competition where you act as a manager in the English Premier League.

In most fantasy football competitions, you just select a team with substitutes and trades can be regularly made with player restrictions being based upon player valuations. Extreme Team Football is much more like managing a club in the ‘real’ English Premier League, and the rules and scoring system simulate (where possible) the Premier League.

In Extreme Team Football, you select your squad at the beginning of the season (which you can then change during transfer windows) and then rotate your squad to choose your team (and substitutes) each week to optimise your squad's performance. You can choose any player with the main restrictions being that:

• your squad must include a player from every Premier League club (with a maximum of two) and
• your weekly team must be in a 1-4-4-2 formation and can only include one player from any Premier League club.

(A big difference with the challenges of a real manager in the Premier League is that you can rotate your squad without having to worry about the egos of the players in your squad!).

Your team scores points in any match based upon the actual performance of those players you have selected and their clubs. You compete in private and public leagues and your scores and league tables are updated weekly.

Extreme Team Football is free.
