How Fantasy Champions League works
The essential setup with really feel extraordinarily acquainted to these of you who play Fantasy Premier League: you get €100m to spend on a 15-player squad of two goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and three forwards.
Every gameweek you get a sure variety of free transfers, with a four-point penalty for every participant over the restrict. You solely rating factors for the gamers in your first XI. Anybody who does not play in any respect will get routinely changed from the bench (with an asterisk – we’ll get to that in a second). Captains get double factors.
To date, so acquainted. However there are a number of essential variations on high that you have to be conscious of. First, the deadline for adjustments is when the primary recreation of the matchday kicks off.
However the largest distinction, maybe, is you could select to manually make substitutions or change your captain if they’ve already performed and you do not like how they’ve performed.
Meaning in case your centre-forward or skipper has a stinker on the Tuesday evening, you may sub them out and/or hand the armband to another person who’s but to play on the Wednesday evening.
The catch is that upon getting made that change, you are dedicated to it; you may’t return, and no automated substitutions will take in any respect – even when certainly one of your gamers finally ends up not enjoying.
Try to be notably cautious that even simply altering the captain or altering the order of your subs counts as a handbook change – so do not try this and count on the automated subs to be made, as a result of they will not.

In between legs within the spherical of 16, quarters and semis, you get an additional three free transfers to make forward of the second leg. (In between the 2 legs of the knockout part play-offs, it is solely two free transfers).
One unused free switch per gameweek might be rolled over into the following recreation week, however they don’t accumulate over the season, so no level making an attempt to stockpile.
There’s additionally successfully two wildcard home windows wherein you may make limitless transfers: after the league part is over, and earlier than the spherical of 16. That principally means that you can choose an entire new crew simply for the knockout part play-offs, which is sensible, as eight of the groups left within the competitors skip that stage and go straight to the spherical of 16.
We’re not going to via the whole scoring system, nevertheless it’s nearly similar to the Fantasy Premier League system. You’ll be able to test it out for your self by yourself time.
There are prizes accessible however what they’re or how you can win them is but to be introduced. It is sponsored by PlayStation, although, so we think about that is a clue.
