How do I score points?
There are plenty of ways to score points in EURO Fantasy, but here’s some key ones:
- Goals (4 points for forwards, 5 for midfielders, 6 for defenders and goalkeepers)
- Assists (3 points per player)
- Clean sheets (4 points for goalkeepers and defenders)
Captain
A key route to big points in EURO Fantasy is the ability to change your captain within matchdays. Just as you can substitute out players who don’t deliver the points you’d hoped for, you can switch captains too – and with double points on offer for your captain, that’s a big opportunity to score heavily.
Leagues
Want to challenge your mates? Why not set up a private league and give them the code to take you on there to see who comes out on top?
You’ll also be automatically entered into three public leagues – the overall leaderboard, one with other players from your country and one with other players who support the same EURO 2020 team as you.
