Champions League play-offs, first legs

Dubai awaits the kickoff of the upcoming Premier League season with excitement, and Gulf News is ensuring fans don't miss out on the fun. To engage its readers, Gulf News has established a bespoke Fantasy Premier League (FPL), exclusively tailored for Gulf News enthusiasts. This innovative game allows participants to assemble a dream team of Premier League players, all within a budget of 100 million, and strategically select a starting lineup and captain for each week.

In this virtual football arena, players accumulate points based on their real-life in-game performances.
