Premier League - Official App Reviews

by Blaugrana23

I normally don’t write reviews but it’s so poor the way they set up draft fantasy in PremierLeague that I had to share. You can’t really say they included Fantasy Draft in PremierLeague because it’s not really part of PremierLeague . They make you access via web browser in-app. You have to log in every time you want to access. No one knows the draft order till the draft starts. No customizing rules. It’s very obvious how little they prioritized this feature. Maybe next year they’ll understand Draft Fantasy is absolutely the future and improve. Togga Fantasy Draft was easily the best PL Fantasy app out there. Still waiting for a replacement.

Guys come on. I’m a huge fan of the UI and everything but the under the hood functionality for fantasy is really poor. Prem execs if you’re reading this, pls invest more money on your technical infrastructure and pay your engineers better. Can you guys not handle the traffic? Get more servers! You’re the official app of the EPL - so start thinking like a tech company and improve PremierLeague. Painstaking slow and waiting for the points to update for days removes all the fun from playing FPL. Few more game weeks to fix this or else I’d have to move to other fantasy apps

Everything is great for the most part. Losing two stars because anytime i look at like ups, if I even tap the screen, PremierLeague goes crazy and starts rapidly scrolling it’s self up and down. To better illustrate say I’m looking at the starters and want to scroll down to the bench, PremierLeague wil start shooting up to keepers then down to forwards then up to defense and then down to subs for a second before launching itself back up to keeper again

So I am mostly using PremierLeague for Fantasy PL and not happy with PremierLeague . 1. It is not as user friendy as it could be. 2. The fantasy league does not live within PremierLeague and it opens up a mobile version of the website. 3. Nothing comparable to "ESPN Fantasy Sports" app which I use to play NFL Fantasy with friends. Please take a look at what they have and review their features. Only one example is the side by side and head-to-head live results for each week. 4. Also just like the NFL Fantasy, I believe FPL could do more subtitutes. At least three more. Say, 2 goalkeepers, 6 Defenders, 6 Midfielders, and 4 Forwards. This way you could be more strategic. It is very limited now, so a player gets injured, you can't place it on the bench, because you do not have enough players to sub, you need to trade him and get another one which doesn't make sense. I hope you could take these notes into consideration and improve PremierLeague . Thanks in advance.

It is such a disjointed route to navigate to our newly created fantasy league draft to choose your starters and see standings and point scores, a few have stopped using it. The classic leagues are great; we thoroughly enjoyed them last year. We were looking forward to our drafted league, the draft went well but our league almost seemed to disappear almost after the draft. We don’t care about kings of the match panel, we just want an easier way to see our teams and other teams scoring and standings. We are not a head to head league. Perhaps it was designed better for that style.

PremierLeague will randomly not show the matchups for the next week unless you select each team individually then select all teams. This has happened two times this year.

PremierLeague does not show overall points in the standings. You have to login to the website to see them.

NFL points and results updates real-time. It can sometimes take until late hours of the night after the end of the week for PremierLeague to update the standings and final results.

PremierLeague has made no adjustments to the challenges of Covid-19. They could have added an extra substitution, extra cap, an extra transfer each week, or an extra wild card etc. The owners and creators could have come up with a “Covid stimulus package” for FPL managers. 😀

Other than that, everything else is good.

This game is great and it has good options like the draft, classic and head to head only problem is this game favors attackers way too much. Defenders have way to many stats not included in the point system that should be. Tackles, Ariel duels won, interceptions should be but are not included. Points should be attributed to those stats and having the majority of a defenders or defensive midfielders points coming from clean sheets is really idiotic seeing how very few of them barring Alexander Arnold, Robertson,Doherty and Digne consistently get points from forward positions. This needs to be addressed it make players more worth it and basically saying that defenders aren’t worth the time despite the fact the VVD is the best player in the league and Kante puts in more work than a whole team combined and very rarely gets above 3 points a game. A forward can play like crap for 89 minutes and gets a goal, still gets more points than Kante. Utterly ridiculous and stupid.

PremierLeague has improved so much over the years but it still needs improving. For example, rather than depend on its own points system, it can also gather / take into consideration points from other known sources and compile them as their own. I used PremierLeague as well as others, and there were many times when mo salah was MoM in the other apps but just because he didnt score a goal or assist he got just the one measly point... PremierLeague missed the point where it was because of mo’s movement, that causes the other player to give and assist and another scored the goal. The other app considered this and hence rewarded mo with more points. Hopefully PremierLeague can improve even more, but still you are one of the best. Congrats 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I just find that there is always extra steps to get to the basics, like scores and the table. They should be quick links and easily accessible. That is one thing I like with the Bundesliga app, it gets you to the tables and scores quickly. Other features take additional links, but are readily there. The Premier league app, does the opposite. Features are upfront, but scores and tables are secondary. Most fans would appreciate the opposite.

by Dev Dinero

Last season and season before we were able to see the amount of points each player picked up each week with out having to select the players individually and view that way. It’s really annoying. Can we please have back the ability to click on our score at the top and see what players contributed individually??

Premier League is very helpful because each morning my father and I get up turn on the TV and watch Man City-Wolves or Chelsea-Norwhich it doesn’t matter what game it is but we watch it. And we will ALWAYS try to find a Liverpool game first. PremierLeague is very helpful because when my father and I are watching the games we want to know the standings and the scores of other games. Also PremierLeague also gives you football news.

The new update is a bit annoying. For some reason Fantasy is a bit slow. You can’t see the points your players have before the game week ends. I’m not sure if it’s gonna show after the end of the game week, but it’s a bit annoying having to go to list view to watch your (or your friend’s) points.

Everything else is nice!

Great app. All around pretty informative. I watch a lot of games on replay. It would be great if there was a “do show scores/game details” option so I could use PremierLeague while I’m catching up on games. I’d like to see the line up and what happened the previous week, but basically freeze the game details at kickoff until I choose to reveal it. Just an idea. All that said, better than any other soccer app I’ve used.

by Toddster05

Super easy to use! Everything laid out with a pleasant appearance. Links to individual club sites, and you can set your favorite club to automatically appear at bottom of home page with news about them and again direct link to their site! If you wanna get back to home page you just tap the lion in the top left corner or tap the three horizontal bars. Hope I didn’t forget any key features but it’s definitely an all around great site/app! Well done Premier League!

I didn’t grow up with soccer but when the kids started playing I started to love it too. They’re adults now but my love of the beautiful game has gotten stronger, in part due to this great app. I’ve built and managed a fantasy team for 7 years now and enjoy it each season. PremierLeague has great content for keeping up with news which I depend on since the US media don’t cover BPL. While my teams aren’t contenders, I’ve enjoyed following my stars across the different teams using this great app.

by Tacoshell-_-

I have exclusively played FPL on my phone for two years now because it’s blocked on my work laptop but now the “i” information button which allows you to see more about the fixtures and performance of the players can’t even be clicked because it’s tiny and in the corner. The player just gets selected and you have to leave the pick team portion to go do your fixture research and come back. Horrible design, please fix this!!!

by Terry Berry Cherry

Great game to play with friends. But it takes three minutes to do a task that requires only 20 seconds at times. The transfer market sometimes doesn’t show any players available to be traded and PremierLeague has problems updating the scores of games around the country. PremierLeague also freezes a lot and requires me to constantly close and reopen it. It takes hours for the point system to tally points and sometimes it gives the wrong amount of points. Overall good game but it needs a lot of technical work.

by CarlKate

ESPN doesn’t compare. The Premier League app has the assists, which are just as important as goals. Photos of the players beside their names. Great attention also goes into the visuals and team colors. The news is valid and not click garbage.

Suggestions for further improvement would be more statistics such as individual pass completions, dribbles, shots on goal and distance traveled. I am not a fan of the huge shots on goal graphic with the big square since it is such a simple thing that doesn’t need a graphic. Formations with the players photos would be great.

I have used PremierLeague for years to keep up with scores and the fantasy game. App worked well until this year. Scores don’t update, the UI is full of glitches and strange behavior. Player and team scores from the previous day are still not accurate while the website is completely accurate.

I am an app developer and I would never release a product with these many issues OR I would be fixing them much faster than PremierLeague team is here. I’m sure they are working hard but this is all very disappointing and suggests that the IT strategy is not well developed or poorly executed.

Love the PL game. In the last season, however, PremierLeague was considerably worse than prior seasons. Updates during the matches generally did not work, PremierLeague froze all too often, whilst the information segment says that it should take 1hr for all the points to add up after the final match it often took substantially longer than that to get an update on the standings in various leagues. The bonus system really works though and generally the game is very appreciated.

by Bozann95

PremierLeague is supposed to be an app for points in the game. But there are no points during tha game! I have to wait for 3 hours or more after the game for you to update my total points. Don’t let me start about bonus points, I don’t even know how much time it takes you to add them.
Secondly, when I am making an transfer and I go to check future fixtures for some player, it is not updated since gameweek 2!Seriously?!
The only purpose of PremierLeague is supposed to be an live checking app for points in the game, and it is not working at all!
Shame on you for releasing this crappy app on the market!

I’ve been doing fantasy EPL for years, and much of it through PremierLeague. Generally, I enjoy PremierLeague and find it useful. However, there are glaring deficiencies.

PremierLeague should do better to update scores, fantasy points, and injury news in present time.

Better insight to predicting games and outlooks for players in upcoming matches. ESPN’s Fantasy (American) Football does just fine with this, but please don’t come back with the “Go pLAy tHaT GamE tHen” response.

Improve your scores and highlights. Not all are available for each match, if at all.

Again, I’ve played PremierLeague for many years and am generally satisfied with its improvements over time. I think y’all can continue to make PremierLeague useful and user-friendly if you focused on the above instead of reporting what Liverpool players had for breakfast.

by DerMatt12

From time to time, points won’t show even though the overall total score is updated. Had to uninstall and reinstall to have it “update”.

However, it usually happens in the first few weeks and then it’ll be back to normal. Just frustrating to have to go through it the past 2-3 years.

by Star__boy

I think it’s quite a good app for updates on matches from your favorite club , I think it does quite well even buying your club jerseys too that and more but I still think it should be upgraded in terms of timely updates that as soon as u refresh it has more updates to show instead of refreshing several times. Thanks 👍🏽

I got PremierLeague because I love watching my team Chelsea play and keeping track of their schedule. Not only does PremierLeague help me do that, but it helps me keep track of all the other teams. I can easily see the results, upcoming matches and team lineups. It also shows me the table and the teams squad. I love PremierLeague and hope you will love it too.
