The Short Answer: You draft 10 teams, but only 5 earn you points each month. Before each month begins, you choose which 5 teams start and which 5 sit on the bench.

How It Works

When you draft, you select 10 teams for your roster.

Each month, you divide them:

Your Starting 5 earn you points from every match they play that month: league games, cup matches, European nights, all of it.

Your Bench teams still play their real-world matches, but those results don't count toward your Fantasy Fútbol score.

Why This System Exists

This is where strategy lives in Fantasy Fútbol.

Not every month is created equal for every team:

• Fixture congestion: Some teams have 8 matches in a month, others have 4
• Competition schedule: Champions League group stages hit certain months hard
• Opponent difficulty: December might be brutal for one team, easy for another
• Cup draws: Your team might face Manchester City in the cup, or they might face a League Two side

The Starting 5 system forces you to think ahead. Which of your teams are set up for a big month? Which ones should you bench until their schedule improves?

The Monthly Lock

Your Starting 5 locks at the beginning of each month.
