How player prices work.
Every fictional player carries a price in fantasy credits, from roughly 4.0 for a rotation-squad goalkeeper up to 13.0 for a marquee forward. Your full 15-player squad must fit inside a 100.0 credit budget.
Prices are set at the start of the season based on projected involvement and attacking output, and reviewed between seasons — they do not fluctuate live during a single season, keeping transfer planning predictable.
A valid starting XI must field exactly 1 goalkeeper, and depending on formation: 3–5 defenders, 3–5 midfielders, and 1–3 forwards, always totalling 11 players. Your 4-player bench must include a backup goalkeeper.
Try different combinations yourself using the Build Your Team tool — it enforces these limits automatically as you draft.
