Can you have two FPL teams? The official rule, and how to play a different squad in every league

No. In the official Fantasy Premier League game each person may enter one team; the official answer is "in the interest of fair play each person may only enter one team". That one team can play in many leagues at once: up to 30 private leagues, plus public leagues. If you want a second, different squad, you need a separate game, such as the official Draft or a game like Gaffer where every league has its own squad.

What the one-team rule means

• One team, every league. The same fifteen players carry your name in the work league, the family league and the overall table. The official FAQ says you may enter your team in multiple leagues to compete against different groups of friends.
• Up to 30 private leagues. The official leagues guide puts the limit at 30 private leagues, plus up to five public leagues of 20 randomly assigned teams. There is no limit on the number of teams in a single private league.
• A second account would be a second team. The rule is one team per person, so a second account for a second squad breaks it. Play your one team everywhere instead.
• FPL Draft is a different game. The official Draft has its own squads, drafted so that each player belongs to one manager in the league, and leagues of 2 to 16. A draft league does not change your classic team.

Can you play a different team in each FPL league?

Not in the official game: your one team plays in every league you join, so the work league and the family league see the same fifteen. A different squad per league needs a separate game. Gaffer is one: each league has its own squad, so pick one fifteen for the work league and another for your friends, or play a five-a-side weekly cup next to a season league. Your official FPL team is untouched, and the Gaffer Classic format will feel familiar.

• Formats. Free Season League, Weekly Cup, Elimination and Groups games, for the Premier League and the Champions League, and for MLS during its regular season.
• One link per league. Each league has one invite link; a public league also appears on the public leagues page.
• Entry fees, where paid entry is available. A league with an entry fee shows the fee, the 5% service fee that comes off each entry and the prize split before anyone pays; each entry, minus the service fee, is paid at the moment of joining into the league's own vault, and the final table pays the winners automatically. Paid entry is for players 18 and over (or the age of majority where you live, if higher) in supported locations. It is not available in some US states and Canadian provinces or in a short list of countries, including those under comprehensive sanctions; the terms list them, and the location check runs when you create or join a paid league.

Why managers want more than one team

• To test a different approach without risking the team that is top of the work league.
• To play a format the official game does not have: a draft, a five-a-side cup or an elimination game.
• To keep one league separate: a league with an entry fee, where you want your own squad for that table only.
