How Many Players Must I Pick From Each Pool?
Last updated: July 26, 20263 min read
Every Fantasy11 squad must contain exactly 15 players. You must select exactly three players from each of the five pools (A through E). This balanced approach ensures that no manager can stack their team with only elite players.
Required Allocation
Your 15-player squad must follow this exact allocation.
| Pool | Players Required | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Pool A | 3 | Mandatory |
| Pool B | 3 | Mandatory |
| Pool C | 3 | Mandatory |
| Pool D | 3 | Mandatory |
| Pool E | 3 | Mandatory |
Important
A squad cannot be saved or entered into a gameweek unless it meets all allocation requirements exactly.
Formation Flexibility
While you must select 3 players from each pool, you have complete freedom over how they are arranged in your formation and starting XI.
- You choose which players start and which sit on the bench
- Your formation can be any valid setup (4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-3-3, etc.)
- Boosts do not change pool eligibility; your squad still needs exactly 3 players from each pool
- Bench order is entirely up to you
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I accidentally select the wrong number?
The game will alert you and prevent you from saving your squad until the allocation is correct.
Can I have more than 3 players from one pool?
No. The limit is exactly 3 players from each pool. You cannot exceed this.
What happens during transfers?
After each transfer, your squad must still meet the 3-players-per-pool requirement.
