Beginner's Guide to Fantasy Football on Reward Circle UK

Beginner guide to fantasy football

Welcome to Reward Circle UK — the free-to-play fantasy football platform where your Premier League knowledge can earn you real prizes every week. If you have never played fantasy football before, this guide walks you through everything from signing up to selecting your first squad. No experience required, no deposit needed.

What Is Fantasy Football?

Fantasy football lets you build a virtual squad of real Premier League players. When those players perform well in actual matches — scoring goals, keeping clean sheets, providing assists — your fantasy team earns points. The managers with the most points each gameweek climb the leaderboard and win prizes on Reward Circle UK.

It is not gambling. You never wager money, and there is no purchase necessary to play. Reward Circle UK is entirely free for UK residents aged 18 and over.

Step 1: Create Your Free Account

Registration takes under two minutes. You need a valid UK email address, your name and date of birth. You must confirm you are 18 or over. We do not ask for payment details at any stage. Once your email is verified, your account is ready.

Step 2: Build Your Squad

You select 11 players within a £100m budget: one goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders and forwards. Every player has a price — stars cost more, budget options cost less. Your total must stay within the cap. Choose a formation that suits your strategy, whether that is 4-4-2, 3-5-2 or another available option.

Pick players you expect to start regularly. Bench players who never get on the pitch earn zero points. Check team news before each deadline to avoid surprises.

Step 3: Understand Scoring

Goals, assists, clean sheets and appearances all earn points. Cards cost points. Your captain scores double — choose wisely each gameweek. Full scoring details are on our How It Works page.

Step 4: Compete and Win

Every gameweek you are automatically entered into the global leaderboard. Top managers share the weekly prize pool — gift vouchers, merchandise and more. You can also create private leagues with friends for bragging rights or additional community prizes.

Transfers between gameweeks let you swap underperforming players for better options. There is no limit on transfers between rounds on Reward Circle UK, so experiment freely.

Tips for New Managers

  • Do not pick your favourite team's players out of loyalty — pick the best scorers.
  • Invest in premium midfielders and forwards; they score the most points.
  • Use budget defenders from teams with strong clean sheet records.
  • Check fixtures — players with easy upcoming matches are worth targeting.
  • Read our blog for weekly tips, captain picks and transfer advice.
