Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the best strategy for selecting players? A: Focus on players who consistently perform well, consider upcoming matchups, and maintain a balanced squad. It’s important to look at form, minutes played, and value for money when making selections. Pay attention to back-to-back games and player usage rates.
Q: What is the captain system? A: Your captain earns double points for their performance. Choose your captain wisely each day, considering matchups, form, and potential for high-scoring games. The captain choice can make or break your daily performance.
Q: Can I make changes to my team after the season starts? A: Yes! You can make transfers throughout the season, subject to your league’s rules. Most formats give you a certain number of free transfers per day, with additional transfers costing points. Daily lineup changes are also possible.
Q: How do price changes work? A: Player prices fluctuate based on transfer activity and performance. Popular players’ prices rise as more managers buy them, while less popular players’ prices fall. Understanding these changes is key to building team value.
Q: How does the scoring system work? A: Players earn points based on their real-life performance. Points scored, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and other actions earn positive points, while turnovers and personal fouls result in negative points.

Q: How do back-to-back games affect player performance? A: Back-to-back games can impact player performance and minutes. Some teams may rest star players, while others might limit minutes. Monitor team schedules and rotation patterns to make informed decisions.
