How to Play Fanzword Fantasy Football?
- First, click on the “Fantasy” word at the bottom of the app.
- Then select “Create a team” and name your team.
Choose Your Team
- You have a budget of £100 million to buy 15 players.
- You will buy two goalkeepers, five defenders, five midfielders, and three forwards.
- You can buy a maximum of three players from each club.
- Before each round, you will select your starting lineup, which includes 11 players, a captain, and a vice-captain.
How Points Are Calculated?
- You earn points for your players’ goals, assists, saves, clean sheets, and more.
- Points are only calculated for the starting lineup, meaning if you choose a player who is on the bench and gets points, they won’t be added to your score.
- However, if one of your starting players doesn’t participate in the round’s match, the first player on the bench will have their points added to your score immediately.
- If more than one player is absent, substitutes are chosen according to the order you set.
- Your team captain earns double the number of points they achieve in the round.
- If the captain does not play, the vice-captain earns double the number of points they achieve in the round.
