At FantastLegends, every match is more than just watching your favorite players; it's about making the right decisions, strategizing, and earning rewards. The Balls System is the backbone of how points are scored and how you climb the leaderboard in your journey to become a fantasy football legend. Let’s break down everything you need to know about the Balls System and how it works to bring your fantasy team to life.
What is the Balls System?
The Balls System is the way points are assigned to players based on their real-life football performance. Your team’s performance is directly linked to how well the players on your roster perform in actual matches, with points being awarded for actions such as scoring goals, providing assists, making defensive plays, and more.
In FantastLegends, the more your players contribute on the field, the more Balls (points) you earn, which help you climb the rankings.
How Are Balls (Points) Earned?
Each football action, from a simple pass to a stunning goal, contributes to your team’s score in FantastLegends. Let’s break it down by position and performance:
1. Goals and Assists
Goal Scored:
Forward: +6 Balls
Midfielder: +5 Balls
Defender: +4 Balls
Goalkeeper: +8 Balls (only for scoring goals from their own penalty area or longer)
Assist: +3 Balls for all players
2. Defensive Actions
Clean Sheets:
Goalkeepers: +4 Balls (must play 60 minutes or more without conceding a goal)
Defenders: +4 Balls (must play 60 minutes or more without conceding a goal)
Midfielders: +2 Balls (must play 60 minutes or more without conceding a goal)
Blocks, Clearances, and Interceptions:
Each action awards +1 to +2 Balls depending on the significance of the play.
3. Goalkeeper Performance
Saves:
1 Ball for each save made by a goalkeeper
Bonus: Goalkeepers earn +2 Balls for every 3 saves made during a match
Penalties Saved:
+5 Balls for saving a penalty kick
4. Player Discipline
While it’s all about your players making an impact on the pitch, discipline also plays a role in the Balls System:
Yellow Card: -2 Balls
Red Card: -5 Balls
(Players who receive a red card during the match will lose Balls based on their level of impact on the match)
5. Substitutions and Minutes Played
Minutes Played:
Players earn +1 Ball for every 60 minutes they play. For example, if a player plays 75 minutes, they’ll earn an additional point for crossing the 60-minute mark.
Substitutes: If a substitute player enters the field and plays more than 60 minutes, they’ll also earn +1 Ball per 60 minutes played.
6. Captain and Vice-Captain Bonus
In FantastLegends, your captain and vice-captain will earn you additional Balls based on their match performance:
Captain: Earns double the Balls for their performances in the match. If your captain scores a goal, they will earn the usual number of Balls for a goal, but double it!
Vice-Captain: Earns 1.5x the Balls if the captain does not play in the match. It’s essential to choose players who are consistent and likely to start the game!
