Soccer is widely regarded as “the World game,” with the English Premier League arguably the elite club competition in the world.

As is the case in all fantasy team sports, you start with a set salary cap (or budget) which you cannot exceed. You also have to pick a set number of players, broken down into specialist roles. Each player has a value and they earn points based on real game events.

At DraftKings they have a unique scoring system, where some players earn and lose points, but others don’t, for example, if a goalkeeper concedes a goal, he is the only player who loses points.

It is always good practice to learn how players score and lose points, as this will play a role in which players you will select in your fantasy team.
