1998/99 Fantasy Football

Rewind to the 1998/99 Premier League. Man Utd took the title on 79 points, with Arsenal in pursuit. Your job: build a £100m fantasy squad from that season's 343 real players across 20 clubs, then play all 38 gameweeks and see how many points your 1998/99 XI can rack up. David Beckham is the season's most expensive pick at £11.5m, but bargains like Dean Gordon (£5.5m) are where mini-leagues are won.
