The new season is approaching and we're back and better than ever. This summer we've taken Sky Sports Fantasy Football to the next level with some amazing new features and a brand new mobile experience! • Mobile - our new free mobile site and app allow you to play Fantasy Football on the move, meaning you'll never miss out on the action! • Assistant Manager - our new Assistant Manager will help guide you through the season, giving you recommendations on who's in form and suggesting transfers to help your Managerial career take off in style • Awards - As you progress through the season our Awards will give you a constant challenge, reward your performance and give you the chance to prove your managerial prowess. There are some great prizes up for grabs too! • Shortlist - Got your eye on player? Our Shortlist will allow you to monitor a number of players to decide who to bring in, and when. More Transfers, More Freedom This season we've given you 40 transfers and lifted the monthly restrictions, so you're free to use your transfers as you wish throughout the season. You're in control. Remember, it's a marathon not a sprint, so use your transfers wisely. Goalkeepers Rewarded Goalkeepers are often hard done by in Fantasy Football - they can have a Man of the Match performance, making save after save, but still lose points if they concede just one goal. This season Goalkeepers will be rewarded for an outstanding performance and will now be awarded +2 bonus points for making 5 or more saves in a match. Captain Changes You can now make a captain change within the Game week. Just like transfers, you can make this alteration for any match day, thus giving you the opportunity to score double points from two of your players over the duration of the Game week.
