How to play the live, fun Fantasy Football game Fanslide


Sponsored by Fanslide


If you’ve ever watched a live match and wished you had more of these players in your Fantasy Premier League (FPL) line-up, Fanslide is just the game for you.

Played live on one-off matches, this unique new game lets you have all of them, just at different times. Created by a group of football-loving friends from London, Fanslide’s ‘in-play Fantasy Football’ is free-to-play and is already a big hit with fans.

Fanslide: Don’t just watch the game, PLAY the game!

How to play Fanslide

You can select three players at any one time, ‘sliding’ them in when you think they’re about to have an impact on the match – be that scoring a goal or by winning tackles, blocking shots etc.

Time must be managed wisely, with each player having a 20-minute maximum. You can slide players in and out whenever you want, whether it’s based on your reading of the match or to save unused time for later in the game.

You get three free slides per half but the rest will cost two points unless it’s due to time expiry. The full rules are here.

How to score points

Players earn single, double or treble points depending upon which spot you slide them into, with live Opta data displayed on a vidiprinter to show which players are winning and losing points for their actions.

Compared to FPL, there are loads more ways to gain or lose points.

So if Mohamed Salah is in the ‘x3’ slot and scores a goal, say hello to 60 points! Meanwhile, three Bournemouth defenders that don’t concede in the opening 20 minutes will pick up 30 clean sheet points plus whatever they earn for defensive actions.

A goalkeeper who makes three saves in the first 20 minutes without conceding will earn three points for each, plus five for the clean sheet to total 14.

“Fanslide adds a whole new layer of excitement when you’re watching football on TV. It’s immersive and interactive and while you’re competing against your mates and the rest of the world, you’re also seeing the game through a different lens, noticing players and their contributions in a new way.”

“We wanted to create a better way of adding excitement to football than just betting on it, and with Fanslide you can use your knowledge and reading of the game to win. If you’d like to deposit and bet on the outcome of your games, you can choose to do so in a safe and sustainable way, but Fanslide is and always will be, free-to-play.” – founder Joe Cocozza

Top tips

When first visiting the app, users are invited to the Fanslide Acadamy to learn more about how to play the game. It includes a few tips and hints, such as:

  • Be patient. Don’t just slide in the best players at the start.
  • Use your three free slides per half to make tactical changes.
  • Use the weakest team’s defenders early – if they hold out for 20 minutes, you’ll get a good haul and still have premium assets for later.
  • Wing-backs score a lot of points for winning corners and dribbles but check to see what position they are given in the game, as they may not be eligible for clean sheet points.
  • Goalkeepers can score heavily when under pressure, so don’t be afraid to use them.
  • With each team now allowed five substitutions per match, think about which players are likely to be taken off early. Use their 20 minutes beforehand.
  • Avoid players who pick up a lot of yellow cards in the ‘x3’ slot. A foul that attracts a yellow card will bring -21 points.
  • Don’t give up! A Perfect Fanslide Goal (PFG) with the goal scorer trebled and assister doubled will net you 80 points.

    Ward Pereira reed colback 2.0m ITB 1 FT

    Seen that colback on verge of dropping. Should I use it to swap him for a 4.4 to save 0.1m?

      No this is why you don't bring in duds in first place. Wasting FTs on more sideways dud trades that don't help your points or cash generation at all

      1. Puntillimon
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        He gains me 0.1m though and I’ve got no other transfers planned. Still good to save FT going into next week u reckon?

          What will you do when the 4.4m drops to 4.3m? This horrible FPL trading. Snap out of it

          1. Puntillimon
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks for the passionate advice. Will consider the above. Thing is. I Hate benching players that can do well. I’d rather bench duds. Gives me less anxiety and stress. Hence my strategy was to maximise first eleven value, and get the cheapest playing dud bench. At least for the first half of the season. Then reassess again

            1. Kiwivillan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              You have a BB chip. You want a good bench when you get to using it and your TV + $ itb should be at least 104m. This can't happen with non playing potatos on the bench

              1. Puntillimon
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 2 months ago

                That can happen after the second wildcard!

                  • 10 Years
                  2 years, 2 months ago

                  But you've generated f all by then because non playing spuds making no money. We both done WC. I'm 101.7m what you on?

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Why don't you fix dud structure and do Colback to Rodrigo or Harrison?

    3. Puntillimon
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      The 2.0 is to bring in Nunez when he’s back. I’m happy to use this first 11 for the next 2 gws

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        By the time he comes back you could've brought in player that gains $ and scores points. Your 2m and dud mids won't do either

      Nah

    5. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 9 Years

      No - FTs are worth far more than 0.1 in TV

  3. HellasLEAF
    • 15 Years

    James and Neto to

    Zinchenko and Martinellii

    for a hit.

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No.

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure that is worth it just yet

  4. marcos11

    Ramsdale (Ward)
    TAA Cancelo James Walker Neco
    Salah Mount Marti Neto Andreas
    Haaland Jesus Archer
    0.4itb 1ft

    Worth going Ramsdale > 4.5 to fund Neto > Rodrigo? (-4) Could shift Walker for Zinc/Saliba next week or Mount > 8m then if needs be.

    Or else could go Mount/Neco > Rodrigo/Perisic for a hit?

      Already answered you

  5. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    On WC. Which do you prefer?

    A)
    Sanchez
    Walker* Saliba* Perisic
    KdB Salah* Martinelli Andreas*
    Jesus Haaland Toney

    Bench: Ward Eze* Patterson* Neco

    B)
    Sanchez
    Cancelo* Zinc* Perisic
    KdB Groß* Martinelli Rodrigo*
    Jesus Haaland Toney

    Bench: Ward Trippier* Zaha* Neco

    1. RICICLE
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      B but with Salah instead of KDB in my opinion, at least for this GW where Pool have Bournemouth

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      B looks good to me

  6. Rick891
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Neto & Saka to Rodrigo/Harrison & Martinelli for free?

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    3. marcos11
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    4. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes I'd say so

    5. Stop Hammer Time
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yep!

  7. RWB_1991
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is the best time to use wildcard to boost team value as soon as gw8 starts? Gives you 15 days to catch price rises?

    1. Klaren
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      There is usually extremely low price action during international breaks so not necessarily.

      1. RWB_1991
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Ah ok, when do we think the best time to increase team value via a wildcard is then?

        1. RWB_1991
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          My team value is only 100.9

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            That's above average I'd say

            1. RWB_1991
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Oh really

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      In theory yes but sometimes doesn't work out as WCs active don't affect price changes. I'm pretty happy with my WC last week fixing several issues selling droppers getting Sanchez Rodrigo Zaha Toney and current team value 101.7m

      1. RWB_1991
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Fair play

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Ah sure, you know yourself

  8. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    2FT and thinking of doing Mount --> Rodrigo today to avoid fall and rise of each player respectively. Save other 1FT for later this GW?

    Ramsdale
    TAA -- Cancelo -- James -- Trippier
    Salah -- Martinelli -- Mount -- Bailey
    Haaland -- Jesus

    Ward -- Andreas -- N.Williams - Archer [2FT + 0,8m ITB]

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Will you get Mount back next week if he gets double digit score?

      Leicester more goals conceded than any team this season seems strange week to sell

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No no no.

  9. Stop Hammer Time
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hey all - Two decisions left on wildcard, thoughts?

    Current WC:

    Sanchez (Ward)
    Trip, TAA, Cancelo (Saliba, Neco)
    Salah, Martinelli, Rodrigo, Harrison (Andreas)
    Haaland, Jesus, Toney

    0.6 ITB

    Options:

    1) Harrison or Aaronson?

    2) Saliba or Zinchenko?

    Leaning towards Harrison, like Aaronson as well though. Can afford Zinchenko move but would leave 0.0 in the bank, not sure if it's worth it.

    Thanks 🙂

      Agreed. If on WC would buy him once drops to 7.8m
