So, as requested, a quick explanation for any newbies who fancy having a go:
1) Go here fantasy.premierleague.com/ (ideally by the 1st gameweek deadline of Friday 11th at 6.30pm to be in with the best shout), choose "Sign up now" and follow the steps.
2) Quick tip: the most stressful bit of setting up is picking your team name, so have some idea before you start. It can be something mundane like "Dave's First XI" or a bit more cryptic - "Luton8 Sunderland2" would be a perfectly reasonable choice
3) You'll be guided through picking a squad of 15 players within a budget, made up of a specified number of keepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. The easiest way is just to choose "Auto Pick" and then if you want to you can change things around until you're happy. You can't have more than 3 in your squad from any one club.
You have unlimited changes up until the first deadline on Friday and then you can make 1 transfer a week (or more at the cost of points). There are also a couple of opportunities during the season to completely change if it's all gone a bit wrong. Your players win points each gameweek for anything good (goals, assists etc) or lose them for bookings, missed penalties etc.
There are a few opportunities to get extra points (called "chips") but they are best left alone until you have more idea what you're doing!
You're automatically in various global leagues and can then join any private leagues you have the code for (like ours - code knqy1n ). Outlaws have one as well if you want more and there are various knocking around on Facebook.
Once you've done the above, you can make as much or as little of it as you want, spend time each week pouring over form and deciding on your starting XI and transfers, or just have a quick glance every now and again to see how you're doing in your league.
