Your matchday team
Starting XI, captain and bench
Captaincy
Your captain scores double. If the captain does not play, the vice-captain takes over after the gameweek finishes.
Automatic subs
Non-playing starters are replaced in bench order when a valid formation remains. The reserve goalkeeper only replaces a goalkeeper.
04
Managing your squad
Transfers
Free transfers
Transfers are unlimited before the Gameweek 1 deadline. You start Gameweek 2 with one free transfer; after that, each completed gameweek adds one, up to a maximum of four.
Extra transfers
Each transfer beyond your available free transfers deducts four points from that gameweek.
Squad rules remain
A replacement must play the same position and keep the squad within its budget and three-player club limit.
05
Season boosts
Four chips in each half
Wildcard
Make unlimited permanent transfers. All transfer costs already incurred that gameweek are cancelled.
Free Hit
Make unlimited transfers for one gameweek, including transfers made before activation. Your pre-gameweek squad and bank return afterward, and those transfers do not consume your free-transfer allowance.
Bench Boost
All 15 squad players count toward your gameweek score.
Triple Captain
Your captain scores three times their base points instead of two.
Each chip can be used once in Gameweeks 1–18 and once again in Gameweeks 19–36. Unused first-half chips expire after Gameweek 18 and do not carry over. Only one chip may be active in a gameweek. Bench Boost and Triple Captain may be used in Gameweek 1; Wildcard and Free Hit become available from Gameweek 2.
