Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as an assist?
An assist is awarded to the player who makes the final pass before a goal is scored. Rebounds and deflections off the woodwork may also count if the scorer benefits directly.
Do defenders earn more points than forwards?
Not necessarily. While defenders earn more per goal, forwards typically score more often. The best fantasy managers balance their squad across all positions.
Are yellow and red cards penalised?
Yes. A yellow card costs -1 point and a red card costs -3 points. A player who receives two yellow cards loses a total of -4 points.
