TEAM CREATION

To play Fantasy EFL, you need to do two things every gameweek:

1. Select a team of seven players
2. Select two clubs that you think will win

You can choose from any of the 72 EFL clubs, providing they are in action in that gameweek.

TEAM SELECTION + FORMATION

Your seven players must be chosen from the following positions:

Goalkeeper: 1
Defenders: 2-3
Midfielders: 2-3
Forwards: 1-2

Your team must then adopt one of the following formations:

1-2-2-2
1-2-3-1
1-3-2-1

RESTRICTIONS

Over the course of the season, you can select the same player as many times as you like.

However, you can only select a maximum of two players from any one club each gameweek.

You can only select an individual club a maximum of five times over the course of
the season.

CAPTAINS

Each gameweek, you must select a captain who will score double points for your
team.

You can change your captain as often as you want, up until your current
captain becomes locked (see the Lockout section).

You cannot change your captain to a player who has already played in the gameweek.

Along with your captain, you must also select a vice-captain each week. Your
vice-captain will score double points for your team in the event that your chosen
captain does not play in the current gameweek.

The same rules above apply to vice-captains.
