Join or Create a League
You can join public leagues, create a private league to compete with friends, or do both!
Step 2: Building Your Team
Budget Management
You’ll have a budget of €100 million to build your team. Each player has a value based on their real-world performance and popularity.
Team Structure
Your team must include:
- 2 Goalkeepers
- 5 Defenders
- 5 Midfielders
- 3 Forwards
Roster Restrictions
You can have a maximum of 3 players from the same real-world team to ensure diversity in your squad.
Step 3: Managing Your Team
Selecting Your Starting XI
From your squad of 15 players, select 11 to start each gameweek. Choose a formation that includes:
- 1 Goalkeeper
- 3-5 Defenders
- 2-5 Midfielders
- 1-3 Forwards
Appointing a Captain
Select one player as your captain who will earn double points. Choose a vice-captain as backup in case your captain doesn’t play.
Making Transfers
Each week, you’ll receive 1 free transfer. Unused transfers roll over to the next gameweek (maximum of 2). Additional transfers cost 4 points each.
Using Chips
Special one-time-use chips can boost your team’s performance:
- Bench Boost: Points earned by bench players are added to your total.
- Triple Captain: Your captain scores triple points instead of double.
- Free Hit: Make unlimited transfers for one gameweek only.
- Wildcard: Reset your entire team without point penalties (twice per season).
Step 4: Scoring Points
Your players earn points based on their real-world performances. Visit our Point System page for a detailed breakdown of scoring rules.
Gameweeks
A gameweek typically spans from Friday to Thursday. All transfers and team changes must be made before the first match of the gameweek begins.
Live Updates
Watch your points accumulate in real-time as matches are played. Player statistics, bonus points, and rankings are updated continuously.
League Competitions
Compete in different types of leagues:
- Classic Leagues: Total points over the season determine your rank.
- Head-to-Head Leagues: Face a different opponent each gameweek.
- Global Ranking: Compete against all GoldFantasySport players worldwide.
Step 5: Advanced Strategies
Player Form and Fixtures
Consider both player form (recent performances) and upcoming fixtures (ease or difficulty) when making transfers.
Injury and Suspension Monitoring
Stay updated on player injuries and suspensions. The app provides status indicators for each player.
Price Changes
Player prices fluctuate based on transfer activity. Buy promising players early before their prices rise.
Differential Picks
Select some low-ownership players to gain an edge over competitors when these players perform well.
Rotation Strategy
Pick complementary bench players whose fixtures rotate well, ensuring you always have good starting options.
Planning for Double/Blank Gameweeks
Save chips and transfers for double gameweeks (when teams play twice) or to navigate blank gameweeks (when teams don’t play).
