Earn points from real matches

When the GPL matchday arrives, your players earn fantasy points based on their real performance. Goals, assists, clean sheets, and saves earn points. Cards, own goals, and missed penalties cost points. Your captain earns double everything.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can I change my team after the deadline?
No. Once the gameweek deadline passes, your squad is locked until the next gameweek opens. This includes captain changes, formation swaps, and transfers.
What happens if my starter doesn't play?
The first eligible bench player automatically substitutes in, following your bench order and position requirements. Set your bench order carefully.
How are player prices determined?
Prices update weekly after gameweek completion. They're calculated based on fantasy points earned, selection percentage (demand), recent form over the last 3 gameweeks, and injury/suspension status. Maximum change is ±20% per week.
Can I join multiple leagues?
Yes. You can create and join as many private leagues as you want. Each league has its own separate standings, but your team and points are the same across all of them.
Is there a limit to league size?
At MVP launch, private leagues support up to 20 members. We'll increase this limit based on demand after launch.
When do scores update?
Fantasy points are calculated within 2 hours of each GPL match completion. Final gameweek scores and rankings update Sunday night after all matches are processed.
