2000th In The World FPL Deleted After "Managing Multiple Teams"

Learn the rules of Fantasy Premier League before your account gets deleted

December 04, 2023

If you think you’re having a rough Fantasy Premier League season, think again.

One manager - who was ranked 2000th in the world - had his team deleted for “managing multiple teams.”

For context, the manager was Odds On FPL who is a Fantasy Premier League content creator with over 50,000 X (formerly Twitter) followers.

Earlier in the season, his team was deleted before the start of Gameweek 8.

He Tweeted the email he received from Fantasy Support…

He denies any wrongdoing but must be gutted. 

But, let’s stop for a minute and take some learnings from his mistake.

Lesson #1: let this serve as a reminder to be kinder to yourself after a bad gameweek. It doesn't matter how bad your points are, it can’t be as bad as your team being deleted… can it?

Lesson #2: more importantly, we don’t want you to suffer the same fate. So let’s brush up on the FPL rule book.

It’s rumoured Odds On FPL’s account was deleted after being reported by another FPL manager.

Firstly, who reported this poor man?

And, who even knew you could report other managers on FPL?

Just in case you’re wondering, to report an unsuspecting FPL manager, all you need is the Contact Us Form found at the bottom of the help page.

Anyway, what do the rules say about managing multiple teams?

“There is no limit on the number of Registrations per household or organisation. However, only one Registration for the Game per user of the Site or App is permitted. Individuals are not permitted to register multiple accounts on the Site or App.”

The second line “only one Registration for the Game per user” clarifies the rule. One user, one registration.

So… it’s clear.

Despite this, we must admit, we did feel bad for Odds On FPL.

The purpose of rule six is to stop players from creating enough accounts to hedge against all possible FPL outcomes. By utilising many varieties of the same team, an FPL manager can almost guarantee a high rank.

Rules are rules… and it’s unfair on the other players.

That said, Odds On FPL claims he wasn’t breaking the rules. He had access to two accounts - a personal account and a jointly run account for his YouTube account.

We’re not so convinced, but we wanted to give him a chance to clarify his position.

But, little did we know, he wasn’t interested…

We must say, we weren’t bitter… FPL can be a tough game sometimes and heck, if we were 2000th in the world, we wouldn’t be too pleased to have lost that account.

But, as with any good story, there’s a moral to this one: read the rules, kids.
