UEFA Champions League Fantasy 5 rules 2020/21

Selecting your team

Fantasy 5 is the game where you create a team consisting of any five players from the clubs in action on that day. There are no budget limits and you can play any five players irrespective of their position or club.

Fantasy 5 is a day-specific game and you can only select players from clubs that will be playing on that day.

At the end of that day, your team will expire. You will then be able to select a new team of five players for the next day's matches.

Boosters

Boosters help you score more points. Every time you pick a team, you can play one booster.

Sharpshooters
When you play this booster, you get an extra three points for every goal that your players score that day.

If you choose Sharpshooters and confirm, you can't undo your choice once the matchday has begun.

Assist Kings
When you play this booster, you get an extra three points for every goal that your players assist that day.

If you choose Assist Kings and confirm, you can't undo your choice once the matchday has begun.

Defensive Rocks
When you play this booster, you get an extra three points for every clean sheet your players record that day.

If you choose Defensive Rocks and confirm, you can't undo your choice once the matchday has begun

Managing your squad

You can make as many changes as you like to your team before the deadline of any given day.

Deadlines

Choose your team before the deadline for each day.

Deadlines will be the kick-off time of the first match of the day, although they are subject to change.

Points scoring

During the season, your players will be allocated points based on their performance.

*Points only awarded when the player plays at least 60 minutes (excluding added time)

Clean sheets

Players get points for a clean sheet when they play at least 60 minutes excluding added time and their team doesn’t concede a goal while they are on the pitch.

If a player has already been subbed off when their team concedes a goal, that player’s clean sheet bonus won’t be affected.

Red cards
If a player receives a red card, they will continue to be penalised for goals conceded by their team.

If a player gets a yellow card and then a red card, they’ll only be penalised for the red card.

Assists
A player will be credited with an assist when he plays the final pass, cross, header or shot which leads to the goal being scored. This also applies to set plays (corners, free-kicks, throw-ins).

Players also get points for an assist if a goal is scored on the rebound when they’ve shot against the post, bar, goalkeeper or defender.

They’ll also get points for an assist when their pass, shot or cross leads to an own goal. Players that win a penalty won’t get points for an assist – instead, they’ll get two points for winning the penalty.

Only one player can get points for an assist for a goal.

When a goal is scored from a solo run or dribble, no player will be credited with the assist.

Minutes played
To score points for some actions, players need to play a minimum of 60 full minutes, excluding added time. So if your player is substituted in the 60th minute, that will be counted as having played 59 minutes – and he won’t get the points for those actions.

Other
Extra-time events count but penalty shoot-outs do not.

Leagues

Private leagues
Private leagues give you the chance to battle for bragging rights among your friends, family and colleagues.

To create a league, go to ‘Leagues’ and select ‘Create league’. Then invite others to join by sharing the league code.

You can also reactivate your leagues from previous seasons in the ‘Leagues’ section.

There's no limit on the number of teams in a single league but you can only be a part of a maximum of 20 private leagues.

Public leagues
Your team will be automatically included in the following leagues:

• The overall leaderboard with all other players around the world
• A league with other players from your country
• A league with other players who support the same Champions League team as you
