Step 1: Sign Up and Create Your Team
To get started, you need to create your FantastLegends account. This process is simple and quick, so you can jump straight into the action:
Create Your Profile
Sign up with your email or through your social media accounts to create your profile. You’ll get access to all the exciting features of the game!
Choose Your Team Name
Select a unique name for your team! Will you pick a bold name or one that reflects your football style?
Budget Allocation
You’ll be given a specific budget to create your team. The key is to strategically balance star players with emerging talents. Be smart, as you won’t be able to change the budget once it’s set!
Step 2: Select Your Players
Now it’s time to select your squad! In FantastLegends, you can choose footballers from top leagues around the world. Your aim is to build a winning team, so every choice counts:
Pick Your Starting XI
Your squad consists of 11 players:
1 Goalkeeper
3 Defenders
4 Midfielders
3 Forwards
Choose Your Captain and Vice-Captain
Every fantasy football manager must pick a captain who will earn double points for his performances. The vice-captain is your backup in case the captain doesn’t play. Choose wisely based on form and upcoming fixtures!
Set Your Formation
You can choose from a variety of formations to suit your strategy. For example, you can go with a solid defense-focused formation or opt for an attacking setup, depending on your team's strengths.
Step 3: Monitor Your Players and Make Changes
Once your team is set, the real fun begins! Keep a close eye on your players and their performances. Here’s how you can manage your team:
Track Player Performances
Players earn points based on their real-life performances in matches. Goals, assists, clean sheets, and even defensive actions like tackles and interceptions can earn points for your team.
Transfer Players
Each week, you’ll have the opportunity to make transfers to optimize your squad. You can replace underperforming players or bring in new talent based on the current form of players in the league. But, be strategic—transfers may come with costs, and you can only make a limited number per season.
Injury and Suspension Management
Injuries and suspensions can affect the performance of your players. Stay informed about matchups and news to ensure your squad is in top form.
Step 4: Compete in Leagues and Tournaments
Once your team is ready, it’s time to compete! FantastLegends offers different types of leagues where you can challenge other players:
Create or Join Leagues
You can either join a public league or create your own private league with friends, family, or colleagues. Compete against them to see who has the best fantasy football skills!
Tournaments and Special Events
Apart from regular leagues, FantastLegends hosts special tournaments, where players can compete for grand prizes. Stay tuned for announcements and participate in the biggest challenges!
Step 5: Score Points and Win Rewards
