The curtain has fallen on the regular Football League campaign but there’s more drama ahead: the play-offs.

The season is not over for Fantasy EFL managers, either, with the new spin-off Play-Offs game!

Twelve teams will clash across three game weeks, all vying for promotion and the chance to triumph under the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium.

Fantasy Football aficionados, whether seasoned strategists or enthusiastic newcomers, get ready. It’s time to sharpen your tactics, perfect your squads, and immerse yourselves in a glorious football spectacle.

Here, we go through everything you need to know.

What are the key points:

Fantasy EFL Play-Offs is a separate game running alongside the regular Fantasy EFL season. It spans three Gameweeks: the semi-final first legs (GW1), semi-final second legs (GW2), and the finals (GW3).

Each Gameweek, managers select seven players and two clubs, with a key difference in GW3. For the finals, managers will choose three clubs – one from each of the Championship, League One, and League Two.

Furthermore, the player limit for any single club in GW3 increases to four. Just like the regular season, Fantasy EFL Play-Offs has no player prices or budgets, allowing you to pick any eligible player within the selection limits.

Importantly, the regular season limit of selecting a club only five times is lifted for the play-offs, meaning all clubs are available for selection again.

How the deadlines work:

Fantasy EFL employs a rolling lockout system, unlike Fantasy games with fixed deadlines. This means player selections lock as soon as their respective matches begin. It also means you can see the team-sheets before committing.

Once a game kicks off, those players and their club become unavailable for any further team adjustments, including adding, removing, or changing captain/vice-captain selections.

Therefore, it’s crucial to monitor kick-off times carefully to ensure your squad is finalised before your players take to the pitch.

Does my regular season score have any bearing:

The beauty of this Play-Offs game is the fresh start for every manager. Whether you’re a seasoned Fantasy EFL player or a complete newbie, everyone begins with zero points.

This levels the playing field entirely, offering a brand new opportunity for everyone to compete on equal terms.

Are there any chips available:

The Play-Offs spin-off differs from the regular game in that it does not include any chips. So, while the regular season provided two Max Captain chips, these are now not available.

Furthermore, any unused Max Captain chips from the regular season will not carry over to the Fantasy EFL Play-Offs.
