How Are Players Assigned to Pools?
Last updated: July 26, 20263 min read
Players are assigned to pools based on a combination of historical performance data, current form, playing time, and expected fantasy output. The Fantasy11 team reviews player data regularly to ensure pool assignments reflect real-world form.
Assignment Factors
Several key factors determine a player's pool assignment.
| Factor | Weight |
|---|---|
| Recent performance (last 6 games) | High |
| Historical fantasy output | Medium |
| Expected minutes | High |
| Team strength & fixtures | Medium |
| Position & role | Medium |
Good to Know
A player's pool assignment is not based on transfer value or real-world price. It's purely based on expected fantasy contribution.
Review Process
Pool assignments are reviewed periodically by the Fantasy11 team. Reviews consider:
- Recent match performances (form)
- Injury status and expected return dates
- Changes in team tactics or playing position
- New signings and their expected impact
- Manager changes that may affect playing time
