Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions

When is the gameweek deadline? ▼
The deadline is usually 90 minutes before the first kick-off of each gameweek, typically Saturday at 11:00 or 11:30 GMT depending on the fixture schedule.
How do bonus points work? ▼
After each match, the 3 best-performing players receive bonus points (3, 2, and 1). These are calculated using the official Bonus Points System (BPS) which measures attacking and defensive actions.
What happens if my captain doesn't play? ▼
If your captain plays 0 minutes, the vice-captain automatically becomes captain and their points are doubled instead.
Can I change my team after the deadline? ▼
No, once the gameweek deadline passes, your team is locked. You can make substitutions for the next gameweek immediately after the deadline.
How do price changes work? ▼
Player prices change based on transfer activity. If many managers transfer a player in, their price rises. If many transfer them out, it falls. Prices update overnight.
