Join our 2021/22 Fantasy Premier League private league The soccer calendar is busier than ever. It was barely a month ago the Premier League finished their season on an exciting Sunday. From there it was a quick transition to the international competitions. As those conclude, the Olympics will kick off and provide even more exciting soccer. With the nonstop action, it’s easy to miss the fact that the start of the 2021-22 Premier League season is just seven weeks away. Without missing a beat, the Premier League just kicked off the start of their Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season. Whether the expanded calendar and coverage have brought you to the game for the first time or you are a seasoned FPL veteran, now is the time to get your squad ready for the upcoming season. First, here’s how to join the World Soccer Talk private league: 1. Visit the Fantasy Premier League site and log in 2. If you’ve never registered before, click the ‘Sign Up’ button, 3. After logging in, select your team (you can always change the team selection later, so don’t worry about finalizing your team right then and there), 4. Click the ‘Leagues’ tab in the top navigation, 5. Click the “Create and join new leagues” button, 6. Click the ‘Join a league’ button, 7. Click ‘Join private league’ button, 6. Enter the code p4vgdk and then click the ‘Join League’ button Second, for the 2021-22 FPL season, there are no big changes. For those that are new, you will find the format is a little different from traditional fantasy sports. It resembles a hybrid of both daily and season-long formats where players are not limited to one team but scoring is accumulated over the entire 38 Gameweek season. You begin by selecting 15 players of predetermined value using £100m budget. You can be creative with your squad’s formation but there are a Starting XI and 4 bench spots. If a player in the Starting XI does not play, a player from the bench will fill in that spot. A captain is also selected, and this player will earn double points.

As the season progresses, the value of any player can go up or down based on their amount of market movement. The more a player is transferred into teams will make their price go up. The opposite is true for players that are sold off squads. This means when you sell a player there is the potential to take a loss or earn a profit. Teams are allowed one free transfer each Gameweek or can roll over one unused free transfer to the next Gameweek. Additional transfers are allowed but will cost a four point deduction from that Gameweek’s score. In addition to setting lineups and transfers, there are chips that can be used to increase scoring and add roster flexibility. There are four different chips that can be played: Wildcard: The Wildcard chip allows teams to make an unlimited amount of transfers without taking a points penalty. Bench Boost: When the Bench Boost chip is played, all scores from players on the bench will also be included for that Gameweek’s total. Triple Captain: The Triple Captain chip means the player selected as captain will have their point total tripled rather than doubled. Free Hit: When the Free Hit chip is played, there are unlimited free transfers. However, once the Gameweek is completed the roster returns to the way it was prior to playing the chip. Once you are signed up, there are numerous ways to compete against others playing FPL. After signing up you will be entered into a couple of different pools: • All registered teams • All registered teams from your country • All registered teams that identify as supporters of the same Premier League club • Teams that registered in the same Gameweek In addition to these leagues, there are other private leagues you can join. These can be leagues you set up with a group of friends to compete with. There are also sites or organizations that will organize leagues. In fact, World Soccer Talk has set up a private league (see above for signup information). You will be grouped and competing against fellow readers and writers from the site. You are allowed to register for up to 25 different private leagues during a season. FPL has also added head-to-head leagues that allow for weekly winners as opposed to a season long accumulation of points.

Rangers brush aside title rivals Hearts Glasgow (AFP) – Alfredo Morelos and Joe Aribo fired Rangers to a 2-0 win at Hearts on Sunday as the Scottish Premiership leaders extended their strong start under new boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Van Bronckhorst has won four successive league games since replacing Steven Gerrard after his predecessor’s move to Aston Villa. Morelos and Aribo scored in the early stages at Tynecastle, giving Rangers six consecutive league victories encompassing the end of Gerrard’s reign. Hearts had Josh Ginnelly sent off late on as they squandered a chance to close the gap on the champions. Rangers are 12 points clear of third placed Hearts and seven ahead of second placed Celtic, who host Motherwell later on Sunday. Van Bronckhorst made six changes to the Rangers side that began Thursday’s 1-1 draw at Lyon in the Europa League. Liam Boyce had a great chance to open the scoring for Hearts in the third minute when he ran on to John Souttar’s clipped ball over the top, but the Northern Ireland striker saw his lob tipped over by Allan McGregor. It was Rangers who scored with their first chance of the match after nine minutes when Ryan Kent’s cross reached Fashion Sakala and the Zambian cut the ball back to Morelos, who fired home from six yards out. Sakala shot just wide from close range moments later before Morelos headed wide from James Tavernier’s corner. Rangers’ second goal came in the 13th minute when Aribo ran on to a brilliant long diagonal from Connor Goldson and fired an angled low shot beyond the exposed Craig Gordon. Gary Mackay-Steven saw his angled shot pushed behind by McGregor early in the second half. Rangers had a let-off in the 53rd minute when Calvin Bassey knocked a Ginnelly cross off the underside of his own crossbar. Rangers remained a threat, however, and Scott Arfield and Sakala were both denied by saves from Gordon. Boyce fired over from close range after being set up by Mackay-Steven before Stephen Kingsley cracked a free kick off the bar from 30 yards out. In the 80th minute, Ginnelly was sent off after being shown a second yellow card for squaring up to Borna Barisic.

Xavi under no illusions ahead of fairytale on Barcelona return Barcelona (AFP) – Xavi Hernandez said he is prepared for the “biggest challenge of his career” before leaving Qatar for Spain on Saturday, as Barcelona’s legendary former midfielder returns home to take over as coach. Xavi’s appointment was confirmed by Barca in the early hours of Saturday morning and the 41-year-old will be presented to fans at Camp Nou on Monday. “I’m very happy as you can imagine, it’s the biggest challenge of my career,” Xavi told Spanish journalists at Doha airport. “I’m going home and I am very happy.” Xavi faces a huge challenge, with Barcelona adrift of La Liga’s top four, struggling to make the knock-out stages of the Champions League and grappling with debts of more than a billion euros. “I have also experienced bad situations,” Xavi said. “It’s not the best moment in the history of the club but I want to explain what my idea is and to work hard, to make a team. Obviously the first thing is to talk to the players to see how they are.” Xavi left Camp Nou to play for Qatari club Al Sadd in 2015, after making 767 appearances for Barcelona, with eight La Liga titles and four Champions Leagues among his 25 trophies. “It’s time to come home. Welcome, Xavi,” Barca tweeted in the early hours of Saturday morning, as Spain slept.  “It wasn’t goodbye, it was see you later,” it wrote, along with a video montage of the player’s departure in 2015. Barcelona said in a statement they had reached an agreement with Xavi to become first-team coach for the rest of the season and two more seasons, replacing the sacked Ronald Koeman. “It is expected that Xavi Hernandez will arrive in Barcelona this weekend and that on Monday 8, November his presentation as new FC Barcelona first team coach will take place in an event open to the public at Camp Nou,” it said. Nicknamed the “Maquina” (the Machine), Xavi is widely considered one of the club’s greatest players and there is huge excitement about his potential as a coach after his influence on the iconic Barca team managed by Pep Guardiola. His passing style was seen as the embodiment of Guardiola’s “tiki-taka” team that won the treble in 2009. “One of the greatest midfield maestros of all time, he helped redefine the art with his creative mind, pinpoint passing and sublime ability to read the game,” Barca said in their statement, heralding the return of “an absolute legend”. Al Sadd, which Xavi had coached since 2019, hours earlier said they had reached an agreement with Barca and posted photos on social media of the Spaniard saying goodbye to the players and staff. – ‘The dream’ – Barcelona’s attempt to appoint Xavi as Koeman’s successor had been held up on Friday over his Al Sadd release clause, with Xavi and Barca considering splitting the payment to complete the deal. Al Sadd said Barca had agreed to pay the clause in Xavi’s contract, which is reportedly set at around five million euros ($5.8 million), but Barcelona did not give any details of the deal in their statement. Spanish sports daily Marca headlined the club hero’s return and estimated the cost to Barca of sacking recent managers Ernesto Valverde, Quique Setien and Koeman at 32 million euros. Xavi had made no secret of his desire to return to Barcelona, which he joined through the club’s La Masia academy at the age of 11. “My main objective, when I can do it, is Barca,” Xavi told Marca last year. “It’s my home, that’s the dream.” Barcelona sat ninth in La Liga on Saturday morning, with concerns growing they might not qualify for next season’s Champions League. The club are also in dire financial straits, having posted debts of 1.35 billion euros. They could not afford to renew Lionel Messi’s contract in the summer, and the Argentine left for Paris Saint-Germain. Xavi will also be charged with improving the team’s style of play, which was a key criticism during the tenure of Koeman, another former Barca player. Xavi’s flight is due to touch down as Barca take on Celta Vigo in La Liga in Juan Barjuan’s last game as caretaker coach before he hands over to the man the fans are pinning their hopes on to turn the club around.
