Join multiple leagues, participate in FPL draft and Challenge
However, while the rules state that you can only have one team, you can enter this team into multiple leagues. This means you can compete against different groups of friends or colleagues with the same team.
You can also participate in the Fantasy Premier League draft and FPL Challenge where you create brand-new teams for these types of game.
Potential disqualification
The FPL’s terms of use state that individuals are not permitted to register multiple accounts. Any breach of these terms, such as creating multiple accounts, could result in disqualification from the game.
Having “only” one FPL team is for the best
When you manage just one team, you can focus all your energy and strategic thinking on that single entity. You can dedicate your time to managing only and only one team and this concentrated effort often leads to better decisions and, ultimately, better performance in the overall ranking.
Managing multiple teams could be a challenging task. Each team would require attention, strategic planning, and time. The need to keep up with multiple teams could be overwhelming and distract you from making the best decisions.
Having just one team can also increase your emotional investment in the game. Every decision you make will directly impact your team’s performance, making the highs of a good gameweek even more exciting and the lows a motivator for strategic changes.
FPL Community view on multiple accounts
The topic of having multiple FPL accounts often sparks heated debates within the FPL community. Some players argue that having more than one account could allow them to experiment with different strategies.
However, a significant portion of the FPL community views the practice of having multiple accounts as a form of cheating. They argue that it undermines the spirit of fair play and can distort the competition, especially in mini-leagues where prizes might be at stake. This sentiment is echoed in various online forums and social media platforms where FPL is discussed.
In conclusion, just play fair
In conclusion, while the idea of having multiple FPL accounts might seem appealing to some, it is against the game’s rules and can lead to disqualification.
