How do I go about selecting/ buying the players for my team?
You can select any player for your Fantasy squad of 11 from an extensive list of players of all the playing nations. You will have 750 credits to begin with. The first step is to choose a team composition. After you’ve selected a particular team composition, a play field with your selected composition opens on the screen. Now select players from the available players list and drag and drop them onto their positions on the playfield. Cost of each player is given alongside the names in the list of players – as you bring a player into your team, his cost automatically gets debited from your credit points. Remember, the game is played on a weekly basis. So to score maximum points, make sure you select you team weekly.
I am trying to drag and drop players onto the field to create my team but the player doesn't stay?
The position where the player is being dropped might be wrong - the defenders can be put onto defender's positions only while strikers will stay only on the striker position and so on.
Can I change my team for every match?
No, you can't! As a team manager, you are allowed unlimited transfers, as long as you do not exceed the total credits available to you. However, you can change players only till one hour before the start of the first match on a Match Week.
When I make changes in the team – how long does it take for the change to process?
Your team is saved as soon as you click on Save Team button, however, you will not be able to make any changes to your team while a match Week is on.
Can I replace a player in my fantasy team in case the player is not playing for reasons like injury or any other unforeseen circumstances?
Yes, you can! As a team manager, you are allowed unlimited transfers, as long as you do not exceed the total credits available to you. However, note that you can change players only till one hour before the start of the first match on a Match
Week.
When I return some players, what happens to the scores earned by outgoing players?
Scores earned by players you return will stay in your cumulative score.
I bought a player for a certain amount on one day and when I am replacing him today, the amount being credited back to me is lesser than what I bought him for. Why is the player price different every time?
The player costing is ‘Dynamic’, which means the cost of the player changes with his performance in every match – he does well, the cost goes up and he doesn’t do well the cost goes down! When you return a player, his current price gets credited to your Credit pool and when you buy a player, his current price gets deducted from your Credit pool.
How much do I have to pay for making transfers?
You do not have to pay anything for making tansfers, however, the player prices are dynamic and may change every day based on their performance. When you return a player, his current price gets credited to your Credit pool and when you buy a player, his current price gets deducted from your Credit pool.
On some days there are 2 matches on a single day. Can I change my team between two matches?
No, you cannot change your team in between two matches. You can change your team upto one hour before the start of first match on every Match Week.
What happens if I forget to update my squad ?
If you forget to update your team, the last team that you've saved will play for you.
