Uni FPL Just Got Serious: 7 Hilarious Student Fantasy Football Forfeits
The new Premier League season is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to setup your own mini-league to challenge your mates for another year. But what happens when someone tanks week after week? It’s time to spice things up with fantasy football forfeits that are as brutal as they are hilarious.
Perfect for those living in student accommodation, and in particular international students that want a taste of British banter, these FPL forfeits will turn your uni league into a lasting memory for the loser.
Why Forfeits Make FPL Better
Let’s be real – finishing last with nothing on the line is boring. Forfeits add stakes, drama, and pure chaos towards the end of the season as everyone scrambles to avoid the punishment. They also help keep people interested in the game during those rough mid-season gameweeks.
It makes the game less about who wins (although you could also add a prize for the victor) – but about who loses the most. And they’ll have to make up for it.
7 Fantasy Football Forfeits Every Student Needs
1. The Lecture Onesie
The losing player has to attend a lecture in a ridiculous costume. Some ideas could include a Teletubby, giant banana, or inflatable alien. Bonus points if they answer a question in character.
2. TikTok Karaoke Showdown
A full cringe-fest for all involved. They film a TikTok of them singing a song of the league’s choice, and yes, it must unfortunately go public.
3. Mystery Meal Deal Mayhem
The group picks the most cursed meal deal combo in the world. Tuna sandwich, prawn cocktail crisps, and a banana milkshake anyone?
4. Signboard of Shame
Lunchtime on campus. Outside the student union. A sign that says, “I lost at fantasy football, ask me how”. It’s simple, yet savage.
5. The Rival Shirt Challenge
This may be the worst of all. The losing player must wear the shirt of their teams’ rivals for an entire yet of uni. Think a Spurs fan in an Arsenal shirt… yep, nothing more unimaginable.
6. Boring Match Rewatch Marathon
The group decide upon the most boring match of the season for their friend to enjoy. The loser must then watch and review a 0-0 draw, making it sound as exciting as possible.
7. The Matchday Outfit
A classic, and truly hilarious forfeit. The bottom player has to go on a day or night out dressed as a famous football manager from years gone by. Whether it’s the suit, tie, and bald cap or full-on trench coat look, it promises to be a good laugh.
Keep it Friendly, Keep it Fun
Before you consider going full rogue, agree upon some boundaries before the start of the season. The best forfeits are hilarious but harmless. Make sure everyone’s on board from the beginning – consent is key, even in FPL humiliation.
