All you need to know is some basic knowledge about some premier league players and a bit of luck ;)
Sign Up Process
First of all to sign up visit the site Fantasy.PremierLeague.com there you click the sign up button and in the next page you click the register button under the login details and then you will visit the register form as shown below.
Fill all your true details and click next button. As you fill all the details in the next few pages your account will be created and you're ready to play Fantasy Premier League.
Transfer Process
After you Sign Up and Login click the transfers tab. There you will be given a £100million budget to start with that even Jose Mourinho & Pellegrini would be jealous of - and with that cash you need to put together a squad of 15 players including 2 goal keepers, 5 defenders, 5 Midfielders and 3 Strikers but you can select only 3 players from the same club. On to your right you can see the list of players and their prices denoted under £ sign. You can insert a player by clicking their name and you can expand the list of players by the drop down list given above. Using that drop down lists you can arrange the players by price, club, playing positions, past scores, selections by other fantasy managers etc. You will be playing only 11 players with 4 in the bench per gameweek so all 15 don't need to be top players. You can change your decision and change the transfers till the 16th of August. After the 16th you can only transfer one player per gameweek for free. Transferring more than 1 player may cost you (-4) points per player. So choose your first set of players wisely before the 16th.
If you're wondering what a gameweek is 1 gameweek is a saturday, sunday (Sometimes monday) where there is premier league matches. For example gameweek 1 includes matches on 16th saturday, 17th sunday and 18th monday.
Wild Card
A wildcard allows you to make unlimited free transfers throughout a Gameweek. Playing a wildcard will remove any points deductions from transfers already made in the same Gameweek. You can play 2 wildcards a season.One wildcard can be played at any time. The January Wildcard can only be used after Gameweek 20 starts (1 Jan 11:30) until Gameweek 23 ends (7 Feb 11:30). Wildcards are played on the transfers page but aren't active until you have confirmed the transfers.
Selecting a team
After selecting your players in transfers and confirming go to the Pick team tab. There you will see the 15 players you selected in random formation. Among those 15 players you can only select 11 to play in a gameweek and other 4 should be kept in the bench. You can drag and drop the players selected to the positions you want and unwanted players to the bench but make sure You can play in any formation, providing 1 goalkeeper, at least 3 defenders and at least 1 forward are selected at all times. But If one of the players you selected gets injured before the game or doesn't play in the game automatically the first player on the bench will represent him and his points will get added. So you must arrange your bench also in an order who will substitute automatically if such an incident happens. Keep the best substitute on the front of the bench. Every gameweek your team will be locked 2 to 3 hours before the game starts and after that you can't make any substitutions. After that you can change the team only for the next gameweek but not for the current gameweek.
Points system
A clean sheet is awarded for not conceding a goal whilst on the pitch and playing at least 60 minutes.
If a player has been substituted when a goal is conceded this will not affect any clean sheet bonus.
Remember that if many fantasy managers buy the same player his price will go up so its better if you buy the best players as early as possibe.
Selecting a Captain
From your starting 11 you nominate a captain and a vice-captain. Your captain's score will be doubled. If your captain plays 0 minutes in the Gameweek, the captain will be changed to the vice-captain. If both captain and vice-captain play 0 minutes in a Gameweek, then no player's score will be doubled.
