If you're new to fantasy football, then you might want to check out our
introduction page .

These rules apply to the group phase version of the game. New rules will be
available in December when the knock-out phase of the game starts.

Squad selection
Each player may enter one fantasy football squad, multiple squads will be
deleted. Squads must consist of:

2 Goalkeepers
5 Defenders
5 Midfielders
3 Forwards
You can select up to 2 players from any one team.

Each player has been given a value. The total value of your initial squad
must not exceed 100 million Euros. The value of each player can be found here
.

Formations
From your squad you select eleven players to form your team each Matchday.
Only starting or automatically substituted players will earn points for your
team. Your team can play in any formation, providing one, and only one,
goalkeeper is selected.

To change your formation simply select your chosen eleven players on the My
Team page. The computer will automatically chose your formation based on the
players you have selected.

Players can only play in their designated position. For example, you can't
play a defender as an attacker.

Captains
You must nominate a member of your team to be captain. This player will score
double the number of points he would usually have been awarded that Matchday.
You can change your captain at any time, though the change will not take
affect until the next deadline.

If your captain does not play then the bonus will be lost. Another player
will not take over the captaincy in his place.

Automatic substitutions
If your goalkeeper plays no part in the Matchday, then the computer will
substitute him for your replacement goalkeeper, if he played in the Matchday.

If any of your outfield players play no part in the Matchday, then the
computer will try to substitute the inactive player for one of your
replacements. This is done by replacing him with your highest priority
substitute who actually played in the Matchday. You can change your
substitution priorities on the My Team page.

Automatic substitutions are applied at the end of the Matchday, when all
matches have been played.

Deadlines
The game is divided into Matchdays. Any changes to your team (substitutions,
transfers, captain changes, substitution priorities) must be made by the
Matchday deadline to take effect for that set of matches.

Matchday Deadline
Matchday 1 14 Sep 20:30
Matchday 2 28 Sep 20:30
Matchday 3 19 Oct 20:30
Matchday 4 2 Nov 20:30
Matchday 5 23 Nov 20:30
Matchday 6 7 Dec 20:30

Note: All times are Central European Time

Scoring
During the tournament, the fantasy football players will be allocated a point
score after each game, based on their performances in the matches. Actions
occurring in extra time count but penalty shoot-outs do not. Points are
awarded as detailed in the table below:

Action Points
For playing in a game 1
For playing at least 60 minutes in a game (includes playing points mentioned
above) 2
For each goal scored by your goalkeeper or defenders 6
For each goal scored by your midfielders 5
For each goal scored by your forwards 4
For each goal assist 3
For your goalkeeper conceding 0 goals (must also play at least 60 minutes) 5
For your defenders conceding 0 goals (must also play at least 60 minutes) 4
For your midfielders conceding 0 goals (must also play at least 60 minutes) 2
For every penalty save 5
For every penalty miss -2
For every 2 goals conceded by your goalkeeper or defenders -1
For every yellow card -1
For every red card (includes any yellow card points) -3

The Points will be calculated using data provided to us on behalf of UEFA.
Neither we nor UEFA will enter into any correspondence relating to the
allocation of points to players. We accept no responsibility for the accuracy
of this data.

Assists
An assist is awarded when the goal scorer receives the ball directly from a
team mate and scores. If the assist pass takes a small deflection which
doesn't change the direction of the pass, it will still be given. No assists
are awarded for own goals or penalties. Live assists are provisional and will
be reviewed within twenty four hours of the match.

Transfers
After selecting your squad you can still deal in the transfer market.
Unlimited squad transfers can be made, 1 transfer can be made between each
Matchday deadline without charge. All additional transfers made in the same
Matchday will deduct 2 points from your total at the next deadline. Free
transfers are not carried over.

All transfers before the competition starts are made at no cost.

Player prices vary during the group phase dependent on the popularity of the
player in the transfer market. Player values will not change until the season
starts.

If you sell a player for a higher price than you paid, then a sell-on fee of
50% (rounded up to the nearest 0.1 million) will be applied on the profits.
For example, if you buy a player for 4.2 million and when you transfer him
his value is 4.5 million then you will only receive 4.3 million.

Leagues
Your team does not play matches against other teams. Instead, each team
competes in a number of leagues. These are:

The overall league involving all registered teams
A league for fellow managers from your country
A league for managers starting the same Matchday as you
A league for supporters of your favourite team (optional)
Private leagues with your friends and colleagues (optional)
Public leagues with other fantasy football players (optional)
Each team can be in up to 5 private and public leagues. Points are awarded
after each game as explained above. In the event of a tie between teams in a
league, the team who has made the least transfers will be positioned higher.
