Fantasy Explained: Scoring Points & Booster

Scoring points

Points are scored against official match statistics collected by Opta, Stats Perform.

Involvement points

Points aren't just for goals and assists. Players also score for what they do all over the pitch, so a busy defender, or a winger who keeps creating chances, scores well even without getting on the scoresheet.

Attacking actions, +1 point for every 4:

• Shots on target
• Key passes (chances created)
• Successful crosses
• Successful dribbles

Defensive actions, +1 point for every 10:

• Tackles won
• Interceptions
• Clearances
• Blocks
• Recoveries

Bonus points

The three best performers in each match earn extra points on top: 3, 2 and 1, in accordance to Opta rating, with all bonus points confirmed by the following day after the final match in the gameweek is complete.

Using your Boosters

Boosters are one-off chips you can play to enhance your score at key moments in the season. Each Booster can only be used once, unless stated otherwise, so save them for the week they'll have the biggest impact.

From the season start, you'll have three boosters to use across the whole season: two free hits and one wildcard. Play them whenever you like, there's no leg-by-leg allocation and no set windows.

To help you settle in (or reset) at the start of each leg, the first Gameweek of every leg now comes with unlimited free transfers. This doesn't touch your three boosters, so newcomers get a clean run at building their squad, and season-long players get a fresh start each leg without having to spend a wildcard to get it.

Wildcard

Unlimited transfers within your £100m budget. Once played, your new squad sticks for every Gameweek that follows.

Free Hit 

Unlimited transfers within your £100m budget, but only for that one Gameweek. Your team reverts to normal once the Gameweek is over.

Whichever you play, all boosters are capped at the standard £100m budget.

Worth noting, when you use a booster, any free transfers will not accumulate.
