Football Fanatiqs offers multiple game modes to keep the experience fresh and exciting. Choose the one that suits your playstyle:

Classic Mode (Season-Long)

• Build a squad within a set budget and earn points based on player performances over the course of the season.
• Make transfers each week to improve your team, but stay mindful of penalties for exceeding limits.
• Compete to climb the leaderboard by scoring the most points overall.

Daily Fantasy Soccer

• Choose a team for a single day or matchweek.
• Points reset after each round, allowing you to compete in short-term challenges without season-long commitments.

Head-to-Head Leagues

• Compete against another manager each week.
• Points determine winners, and standings are updated based on win/loss records.
• Playoffs or finals at the end of the season crown the ultimate champion.

Salary Cap Challenge

• Build your team under a strict salary cap. Player values change dynamically based on performance and popularity.
• The challenge lies in balancing superstars with undervalued players for maximum efficiency.

Survivor Mode (Knockout)

• Avoid being the lowest scorer in your league each week to stay in the game.
• The lowest-scoring team is eliminated until one winner remains.

1. Draft or Select Players:

• Based on your chosen mode, either participate in a live draft or select players from a pool within your budget.

2. Fill Required Positions:

• Assemble a team with a goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. Ensure you meet any minimum or maximum player requirements for each position.

3. Assign a Captain:

• Designate a captain to earn double points for their performance. Choose wisely!

4. Bench Players:

• Some modes allow for substitutes. Plan your bench strategically to cover for injuries or poor performances.

Player points are based on real-world performances in matches. Here’s a breakdown of typical scoring rules:

• Positive Actions:
  • Goals: High points for forwards, midfielders, and defenders.
  • Assists: Points for players contributing to a goal.
  • Clean Sheets: Bonus points for defenders and goalkeepers.
  • Saves: Goalkeepers earn points for making crucial saves.
• Negative Actions:
  • Yellow/Red Cards: Penalty points for disciplinary actions.
  • Own Goals: Deduction for scoring against their own team.
  • Missed Penalties: Negative points for penalty misses.

Scoring rules may vary by mode, so always review the settings in your league.

Weekly Transfers: Adjust your team by transferring players in and out. Be mindful of transfer limits or penalties for exceeding them.

Injury Updates: Monitor player injuries or suspensions to avoid losing points.

Draft Mode Trades: In Draft Mode, trade players with other managers or pick up free agents from the waiver pool.

Stay Informed: Keep up with player performances, injuries, and team schedules. Use analytics or resources to identify undervalued players or hidden gems.

Monitor Form and Fixtures: Favor players with favorable matchups in upcoming games. Avoid players facing tough opponents unless they’re superstars.

Adapt Your Strategy: In Salary Cap Mode, watch for value changes and adjust accordingly. In Survivor Mode, focus on consistency rather than high-risk, high-reward strategies.

Engage with the Community: Join forums or social groups to share insights and tips. Friendly rivalries add to the fun and keep you motivated.

Classic and Daily Fantasy: Aim to score the most points by the season or matchday’s end.

Draft and Head-to-Head: Top the league standings or win the playoffs.

Salary Cap Challenge: Manage your team effectively within the budget to outscore competitors.

Survivor Mode: Stay consistent and avoid elimination to be the last manager standing.

Final Tips: Set reminders for deadlines to avoid missing transfers or lineup changes. Experiment with different game modes to find what you enjoy most. Remember, it’s not just about winning—it’s about having fun and sharing the experience with others.
