The Awards That Make (or Break) Your FPL Week

At FPL.fun, we believe Fantasy Premier League isn't just about finishing top. Sometimes, it’s about finishing last — and making sure everyone knows.

That’s why we created our very own set of weekly awards. Some you want to win. Others… not so much.

Let’s break them down.

🥒 Cucumber of the Week

You had a disasterclass. You’re getting the Cucumber.

Every week, the manager with the lowest score earns a letter.
First week: C. Second: U. You know where this is going.

Complete the full word and… well, let's just say eternal shame awaits.
(And yes, we show everyone who’s closest to winning the Cucumber.)

🏎 Formula 1 Standings

Every Gameweek is a race.

  • 🥇 25 points to the highest scorer
  • 🥈 18 for second
  • 🥉 15 for third, and so on…

It’s a full-season league within your mini-league — perfect if your actual FPL rank is in the mud but you’re crushing it week to week.

🧠 Manager of the Week

No awards show is complete without a standing ovation.

Manager of the Week goes to the top scorer in your league.
But with FPL.fun, we make it a moment: highlight reel, banner, and all.

You’ll know who’s crushing it — and so will everyone else.

🎯 Why awards matter more than rank

Let’s face it: most of us won’t finish top 10k. Or 100k. Or even 1 million.

But you can finish above your mate James, who captained a defender again.
You can get redemption after a 4-point hit pays off.
You can avoid the dreaded Cucumber.

FPL.fun turns your mini-league into a weekly narrative — rivalries, comebacks, and chaos.

🏆 And this is just the beginning

We’re already working on more awards:

  • Best bench
  • Worst chip usage
  • Luckiest win
  • Most differential points

Got ideas? We’re always up for more nonsense.

TL;DR

  • FPL.fun adds custom awards to your mini-league
  • From roast-worthy disasters to weekly wins
  • Cucumber, Formula 1, Manager of the Week — all auto-calculated
  • It’s not about rank — it’s about stories, bragging rights, and banter

You might not win FPL. But you will win something at FPL.fun.

Even if it's the Cucumber. 🥒
