Dive into the thrill of BBC Sport's Fantasy Premier League competition!
In the upcoming season of the Premier League, one name that stands out is Max Littleproud, a 28-year-old mathematics teacher from Manchester. Last season, Littleproud clinched the BBC League championship, and he's ready to defend his title.
As the season progressed, Littleproud found it stressful, leading him to delete certain apps from his phone. However, he remained focused on his strategy, relying on gut instinct rather than FPL content for his decisions. This approach proved successful, as he reached the top of the world rankings in mid-January and spent 22 weeks in the top 15, 18 weeks in the top 10, and an impressive 3 weeks as the number one in the global Fantasy Premier League rankings.
One of Littleproud's most notable moves was selecting Everton's Ashley Young, a choice that paid off handsomely, with the teacher finishing the season with more than 60 points from Young alone.
Notable BBC personalities, including Alistair Bruce-Ball, Statman Dave, and Chris Sutton, will also be competing in the league this season. Fans can join the BBC Sport League in the official Fantasy Premier League using the code bbcfpl.
Littleproud is not overly concerned with statistics, understanding that it can lead to overthinking. Instead, he prefers to avoid YouTube and a specific app for most of the season.
The new season of the Premier League is set to start on August 15, offering a chance for fans to join the fantasy football challenge. With the road to fantasy football glory beginning anew, will Littleproud be able to defend his title? Only time will tell.
