How to play

The rules of DZ Fantasy, in full

Your squad

15 players: 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 forwards, bought within a budget of 100.0. At most 3 from any one club.

Your eleven

Pick 11 to play each gameweek and leave the rest on the bench. Any shape is allowed as long as you field one goalkeeper, at least 3 defenders, at least 2 midfielders and at least 1 forward.

Captain

Your captain scores double. If he does not play, your vice-captain doubles instead.

Transfers

1 free transfer each gameweek. Save an unused one for later, up to 5 in hand. Beyond that, each extra transfer costs 4 points.

Chips

Each can be used once per half of the season.

  • Wildcard — change as many players as you like, with no points charged.
  • Free hit — a one-week squad that reverts afterwards.
  • Triple captain — your captain scores triple instead of double.
  • Bench boost — your four substitutes score as well as your eleven.

Rules waiting on data

These rules are built and tested, and switched off because no data source publishes what they need for this league. They will turn on by themselves when one does — nothing is estimated in the meantime.
