Straight answers before kick-off.
The questions new players ask most often — about lineups, deadlines, scoring and playing responsibly.
No. The rules fit on one page and the points system is published in full. That said, the more matches you watch and the more team news you follow, the better your lineups are likely to be — that is the whole appeal.
Because it happens far less often. Scaling goal points by position stops lineups from being nothing but strikers and rewards people who spot attacking defenders and midfielders early.
A player who never comes on scores zero. There are no automatic substitutions in standard contests, which is why checking team news before the lineup deadline matters so much.
No. Lineups lock at the kick-off of the first match covered by the contest. Before that moment you can edit your players, formation and armband as many times as you like.
If your captain does not take part, the vice-captain multiplier still applies to your vice-captain, but the captain's double points are lost. Picking a reliable vice-captain is your safety net.
Each contest states its tie-break rule on the contest card. The most common method compares the total points of each lineup's captain, then the earliest lineup submission.
Occasionally. Match data providers sometimes correct an assist or a goal attribution shortly after the final whistle. Contest results are confirmed only once these corrections are processed.
Adults aged 18 or over, in places where taking part in fantasy sports contests is allowed. Laws differ between countries and regions, so please check the rules that apply to you before you join a contest.
Decide on a time and spending limit before a matchday, not during it. Take regular breaks, never treat contests as a way to make money, and contact a local support organisation if you feel playing is becoming a problem.
