FPL managers who live in the United Kingdom have a new November competition to follow. Sky Sports is awarding a pair of Premier League match tickets to its Fantasy Premier League Manager of the Month, based on performances during November's three gameweeks. This is a separate Sky Sports Broadcaster League competition; it should not be confused with FPL's own monthly prizes.
The official Sky Sports announcement published on 3 November explains the entry route and timing.
Who can enter?
UK residency matters. Sky says eligible FPL managers residing in the United Kingdom are automatically entered into the Sky Sports Broadcaster League. This applies to eligible existing managers and those joining before the first November deadline. Someone outside the UK should not assume they qualify merely because they play FPL.
Read the broadcaster's full terms and conditions before relying on prize eligibility, particularly if you are travelling, under 18, or unsure which registered address applies.

Latest FPL news
Do you need to join a new mini-league manually?
According to Sky's announcement, eligible UK-resident managers are automatically entered, including eligible returning managers who already have a 2026/27 team. Do not pay a third-party website to join this competition or share an FPL password with someone offering to enter on your behalf.
If you are starting a new FPL team, create it using the official Fantasy Premier League site before the stated Friday deadline. Review Sky's terms for any additional restrictions and practical prize arrangements.
Which gameweeks count?
November Premier League fixtures occur across GW10, GW11 and GW12, with the competition running through games played on Sunday 29 November. That means a successful monthly plan needs more than a single big captain score in GW10.
Managers should assess:
- Reliable starters: minutes matter across all three rounds.
- Captaincy: a correct captain choice can be decisive in a short period.
- Chips: check Sky's published terms before assuming any chip-based score has the same eligibility treatment as official FPL prizes.
- Bench cover: international-break injuries could affect GW11.
- Transfer cost: an aggressive -4 is not automatically worthwhile when the competition compares net points.
Do not confuse November's best score with the overall FPL Manager of the Month system. The rules and prizes may differ.
A practical three-gameweek plan
Start with your current squad rather than rebuilding solely for tickets. Identify confirmed injuries, check whether you can field a strong XI for GW10 and prioritize players who will likely start after the international break.
Use OneFPL Transfer Planner to compare your GW10, GW11 and GW12 squads on one screen. Monitor the GW10 injury hub and check the live fixture list before making a costly switch.
