How Do Boosts Work?
Last updated: July 26, 20263 min read
Fantasy11 gives you three boost types for the EPL season: Maximum Captain, Triple Captain, and Saves Boost. The live GET /squads/boosts response tells you which boosts are available, active, used, or unavailable for the open Gameweek.
The Three Boost Types
Each boost has a different use case.
| Boost | API type | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Captain | MAX_CAPTAIN | Double the selected captain's Gameweek score |
| Triple Captain | TRIPLE_CAPTAIN | Triple the selected captain's Gameweek score |
| Saves Boost | SAVES_BOOST | Apply to a starting goalkeeper |
When Boosts Can Be Used
The boost API applies boosts to the Gameweek currently accepting changes.
- Each boost type can be used once in Gameweeks 1–19
- Each boost type can be used once in Gameweeks 20–38
- Different boost types can stack on the same Gameweek
- Boosts cannot be declared after the Gameweek deadline
- That gives you up to 6 boost applications across the season
Frequently Asked Questions
How many boosts can I use?
Each of the three types can be used once per half, for up to 6 applications across the 38-Gameweek season.
Can I use two boosts in the same Gameweek?
Yes. Different boost types can stack on the same open Gameweek.
What happens after the deadline?
The target Gameweek becomes unavailable for boost applications. Wait for the next Gameweek that accepts changes.
