Welcome to the Balls System, where your football knowledge and strategy come to life! This system is at the core of how your fantasy football team accumulates points.
1. Goals: The Big Point Earners
Scoring goals is the primary way to rack up points in FantastSports. Each goal scored by your players brings in a hefty reward, so selecting players who are likely to find the back of the net can make all the difference.
Forwards and Midfielders: They earn significant points for every goal they score. The higher the player’s offensive capabilities, the more valuable they are for your fantasy team.
Defenders: If your defenders score, they earn the same points as midfielders and forwards. However, these occurrences are less frequent, so defenders are generally more valuable for their other contributions (like clean sheets and assists).
Point Breakdown:
Forward/Midfielder Goal: +4 points
Defender Goal: +6 points
Tip: Focus on attacking players from teams with favorable matchups. A player in great form against a weak defense is a fantastic pick!
2. Assists: The Playmakers’ Reward
Assists are just as important as goals in FantastSports, as they reflect a player’s ability to create scoring opportunities. Whether it's a pinpoint cross, a clever through ball, or a simple pass leading to a goal, assists can make or break your fantasy team’s performance.
Midfielders and Forwards will often be involved in creating assists, but don’t overlook Defenders who provide assists, as they can be crucial.
The more creative and consistent a player is, the more assists they are likely to rack up during the season.
Point Breakdown:
Assist by any Player: +3 points
Pro Tip: Track key pass stats and player partnerships—players with strong connections on the field often rack up the most assists!
3. Clean Sheets: Defenders and Goalkeepers Shine
While goals and assists are thrilling, clean sheets are the bread and butter of defenders and goalkeepers in FantastSports. A clean sheet means that a player’s team has not allowed a goal during the match.
Goalkeepers: They get a significant points boost for a clean sheet, which is one of their primary responsibilities. A goalkeeper who keeps a clean sheet and makes key saves will earn major points.
Defenders: Defenders who keep a clean sheet get a solid point bonus for their efforts, so investing in strong, reliable defenders is essential for success in FantastSports.
Point Breakdown:
Goalkeeper Clean Sheet: +4 points
Defender Clean Sheet: +4 points
Tip: Focus on selecting defenders and goalkeepers from strong defensive teams with high chances of keeping clean sheets.
4. Saves: Goalkeepers in Action
Goalkeepers have the potential to earn points in several ways, with saves being a significant contributor. Every time a goalkeeper saves a shot, they gain points. If they’re busy in a match and facing lots of shots, they can really rack up the points, even if they don’t keep a clean sheet.
Goalkeepers: More saves equal more points. A goalkeeper who is constantly involved in the game and making saves will earn more points than one who simply sits back with minimal action.
Point Breakdown:
Each Save: +1 point
Pro Tip: Keep an eye on teams with defensive weaknesses. Goalkeepers from these teams will be called into action more often, giving them opportunities for saves and points.
5. Yellow and Red Cards: The Penalty for Fouls
While goals, assists, and clean sheets bring in points, fouls come with penalties. Players who receive yellow or red cards will lose points, so keep an eye on discipline.
Yellow Card: A player receives a yellow card for a foul or misconduct. It’s a warning, but still, it costs your fantasy team points.
Red Card: A red card results in immediate ejection from the game, and the player will lose a larger number of points.
Point Breakdown:
Yellow Card: -1 point
Red Card: -3 points
Tip: Avoid players with disciplinary issues or who have a history of accumulating cards. They can hurt your fantasy team’s performance.
