Questions and answers

How to choose the right formation in fantasy football?

The choice of formation depends on the available players and their form. Popular formations such as 3-4-3, 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 have different balances between defense and attack. It is important to analyze which positions have more players in good form with a favorable calendar.

How many players are usually included in a fantasy team?

The standard format assumes 15 players: 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 forwards, of which 11 are starting and 4 are substitutes. However, the number may vary in different platforms.

How to distribute the budget when creating a team?

It is recommended to allocate about 40-45% of the budget to attack (midfielders and forwards who bring the most points), 30-35% to defense (including the goalkeeper) and leave 10-15% in reserve for future transfers or to have inexpensive substitutes.

Should I include players from one club in my team?

Having 2-3 players from one top team can be beneficial if the fixture list is good, but having more than 3 players leaves your team vulnerable if that team plays poorly. It is better to diversify your squad.

How to choose a team captain?

It is better to appoint a player as a captain who consistently scores points, has a home match against a weak opponent and is a key set piece performer for his team. The captain’s points are usually doubled, so this is an important decision.

What role does the fixture list play in fantasy football?

The fixture list is critical. Players have a better chance of scoring points against weak opponents. Planning transfers with 3-5 upcoming matches in mind allows you to maximize your points in the long term.

How to use transfers effectively?

You should not waste transfers on short-term decisions. It is better to save them for serious changes or injuries to key players. Plan transfers 2-3 rounds in advance, taking into account the fixture list and the players’ form.

13. What is a Double Gameweek and how to use it?

A Double Gameweek (DGW) is a round where some teams play two matches instead of one due to postponements. This is a great opportunity to score more points, so it is worth planning to use special chips and transfers for these rounds.

How important are set pieces when selecting players?

Players who take penalties, free kicks and corners have more opportunities to score points for goals and assists. This is especially valuable for defenders and midfielders, as they get more points for goals than forwards.
