Join a Public League

Join an FLM-hosted league that is open to eligible fantasy managers.

Choose a Public League

  1. Open the Public League list.
  2. Review the competition, season, squad size, formation and current manager count.
  3. Choose the league you want to join.

Create or use your manager account

New managers provide a manager name, squad name, email address and password. Passwords must contain at least 10 characters.

When the email already belongs to an FLM account, log in rather than creating another account.

Complete your first squad

After joining, FLM sends you to the squad picker until the squad reaches the required size and position structure within budget. FLM supplies the player prices and scales them for the league's squad size and budget.

Public Leagues use shared-player ownership, so the same footballer may appear in more than one manager's squad.

Weekly 15-player format

A 15-player squad contains 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 forwards. Each Gameweek, select a starting XI in a 3-5-2, 3-4-3, 4-4-2, 4-3-3 or 5-3-2 formation.

Order the three outfield substitutes and select the reserve goalkeeper. A footballer who plays at least one minute counts as having played. Eligible bench players replace non-playing starters in bench order while preserving a valid formation; the reserve goalkeeper can replace only the starting goalkeeper.

Where the league uses the first-fixture transfer deadline, changes close one hour before the first scheduled kickoff in the Gameweek.

Returning managers

When you already belong to the selected league, FLM routes you back to the squad picker if the squad is incomplete, or to My Squad when it is complete.

After setup

The authenticated Fantasy Manager Help covers lineups, transfers, fixtures, rules and standings.
