In a bid to jazz up the world of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), a new FPL format called Fantasy Challenge has been unveiled.

Fantasy Challenge, which will launch in Gameweek 30, won’t replace conventional FPL or the auction-based Fantasy Draft but will run alongside as an additional game mode.

With new rules, prizes and different weekly challenges, there’s a lot to wrap your head around when it comes to the new game.

So, how does it all work? Read on for everything you need to know about Fantasy Challenge.

Before each gameweek, managers will be faced with a new challenge to tackle in search of points and prizes.

The first challenge is simple: assemble the best squad of 15 players you can without being limited by a £100m budget.

Tasks will change from one round of fixtures to the next.

FPL has teased the challenges for Gameweeks 31 and 32, with all forwards set to bag double points in Gameweek 31.

Then, to mark Jürgen Klopp’s final trip to Old Trafford as Liverpool manager, his side’s battle with Manchester United will be the focus of the Gameweek 32 task Red Rivalry, with all players in that fixture securing double points.
