Captain Strategy
Choosing the right captain is crucial - they earn DOUBLE points for all actions. Consider these factors:
- Form: Select players on scoring streaks or recent strong performances
- Match-up: Target games against weaker defensive teams
- Position: Offensive players typically score more points than defenders
- Playing Time: Ensure your captain is starting and likely to play the full match
Maximize Your Points
Study Match-ups
Analyze which teams have weak defenses or strong offensive records. Target players facing easier opponents.
Balance Your Budget
Don't spend everything on stars. Mix premium players with value picks who have good match-ups.
Track Player Form
Recent performance matters. Players in form are more likely to continue scoring points.
Monitor Team News
Check injury reports and lineup announcements before finalizing your squad. A benched star earns you nothing.
Diversify Your Lineup
Don't load up on players from one team. Spread your picks across multiple matches to minimize risk.
Use Live Stats
Track your players' performance in real-time and learn which types of players consistently deliver.
Position-Specific Tips
Goalkeepers
Goalkeepers earn points primarily through saves and clean sheets. Target keepers facing high-volume shooting teams (more save opportunities) or weak offenses (clean sheet potential).
Defenders
Look for defenders who join attacks and contribute assists. Clean sheets are valuable, so prioritize strong defensive units.
Wings & Backs
These players offer the best balance of goals and assists. They're often your safest captain choices.
Pivots
Central players who distribute and score. Great all-around fantasy assets with consistent point-scoring.
