Picking your squad
Each week, you must select an 11-man starting line-up consisting of a goalkeeper and either:
- Three defenders, five midfielders, and two forwards (3-5-2)
- Four defenders, four midfielders, and two forwards (4-4-2)
- Four defenders, three midfielders, and three forwards (4-3-3)
- Three defenders, four midfielders, and three forwards (3-4-3)
You can sell and buy players using your current available budget.
If you do not have a complete 11-man lineup, you will not receive any fantasy points for your entire lineup for that week.
To switch your team's formation, simply select one of the four tabs on the top of the Team Manager page. The tabs sit above your line-up box, just below your team name.
Once you've changed a formation, you'll need to select which players you wish to move from the old formation to the new one. You may have to drop one or two players to fit your new formation.
Once your formation is set, you can change your players by buying and selling.
The deadline to make lineup changes for the next week's games is 10:59am UK time every Saturday. Any change made after the deadline will not affect your scoring until the following deadline.
It is not obligatory to adjust your squad every week. If no changes are made, we will automatically carry your current lineup forward from week to week. However, bear in mind that an injured or suspended player gains you no points... Also, any changes you make will not be saved until you click the yellow Save Team Changes button on the right.
