💡PRO TIPS

⭐

In Fantasy XI, captain your highest-ceiling attacker — the 2× multiplier is the biggest single points swing in the game.

💰

Fantasy XI value lives in cheap defenders on the favourite (clean-sheet upside) and set-piece takers. Spend up for one premium captain pick.

⚡

Only use Power Play when you're very confident — a wrong prediction costs double.

🎯

Pick a popular goalscorer (top striker) for the anytime scorer — they have the highest chance.

📋

In drafts, prioritise your GK pick early — a clean sheet gives +4 and saves give bonus points.

🧠

Check recent form and injuries before predicting — home advantage matters too.

🤝

Play with friends in private mini leagues for the best experience and bragging rights.

🛡️

Clean sheets require the player to be on the pitch for at least 60 minutes — if a defender subs off at 55 min they miss the clean sheet bonus.

⏱️

Playing time matters: 60+ minutes earns +2, less than 60 earns +1. Impact subs from the bench still count!

🥅

A GK on a clean sheet earns +4 CS + saves bonus (+1/3 saves) — a clean sheet GK facing 5 shots is worth 4–5 points alone.
