![]() ![]() These rules pretty much mean we can be a lot more aggressive and short-termist with our transfers and planning. … five free transfers before the semi-finals. … four free transfers before the quarter-finals. … unlimited transfers after the group stage. In the group stage, we get two free transfers every matchday instead of the one in FPL (one transfer can be carried over). If you make a transfer beyond the free allocation, you incur a three-point hit instead of four. However, instead of a Bench Boost and Triple Captain, we have a 12th-Man chip and Power Captain.Ī more detailed breakdown of the chips can be found here. We have a wildcard that can be used at any time in the tournament. The chips in this game are also different.

In this format, we get to change our captain multiple times and can “twist” on who has the armband on each day a game is played during the “matchday” (Gameweek). In FPL, we set one captain for the whole Gameweek. It pays to have multiple captaincy options Without reading the full set of scoring rules (which let’s be honest, not many people do), your rivals will be ill-prepared and with such a short competition, making a good start is more important than ever. With the information above, we know, for example, not to go heavy in midfield but up top instead, and that cheap defensive midfielders are a good option. The scoring system isn’t much different but it’s different enough to completely change how we approach deciding which players to pick and our team structure. Knowing about these subtle changes can really give you an advantage over your rivals. ![]() Because goals and assists aren’t the only scoring metrics, our teams will probably be a lot different and there will be less of a popular template among World Cup fantasy managers.Īlso, the fact forwards get the same points as midfielders for scoring goals and also a point for every two attempts on target means they are much more valuable. In FPL, the simple scoring system effectively makes defensive midfielders unusable, whereas in this format, they can be very viable picks. The FIFA World Cup Fantasy points system means we have a lot more players to realistically choose from. Forwards get one point for every two shots on target.Midfielders get one point for every two key passes (creating a chance).Midfielders get one point for every three tackles made.Forwards get five points for scoring a goal (note: midfielders also get five points for scoring - the same as in FPL).Defenders get seven points for scoring a goal.Goalkeepers get nine points for scoring a goal.Players are docked a point for conceding a penalty.Players get two points for winning a penalty.For defenders and goalkeepers, every goal conceded while they are on the pitch after the first one costs them a point. ![]() However, there are also quite a few rules which differ slightly, which I have listed below. The full scoring system can be viewed here and a lot of the points-scoring is the same as FPL. Let’s go through the differences in points-scoring first. In FPL, once the deadline passes, that’s it - no more changes, we can only sit back and enjoy the football. In this article, I will go through how World Cup fantasy is different to FPL and the best way to manage the game.įirstly, the FIFA World Cup fantasy football format is a lot more interactive than FPL and you will have to be on the ball almost every Matchday. ![]()
