Frequently asked questions
- What is FansBall Knowledge Fantasy?
- It's the official fantasy football game of FansBall Knowledge, built for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. You pick an 11-player squad of real tournament players, name a captain who scores double points, and earn points every gameweek based on what your players actually do on the pitch.
- How does scoring work?
- Players score for goals, assists, clean sheets, appearances, penalty saves, and more. Defenders and goalkeepers earn extra clean-sheet bonuses; forwards weight heavier on goals. Yellow cards, red cards, own goals, and missed penalties deduct points. Your captain earns 2× whatever they score.
- Is the fantasy game free?
- Yes — completely free. No coin purchases, no premium tiers, no pay-to-win. Sign up, build your squad, and play every gameweek of the World Cup.
- Can I run a private league with my friends?
- Yes. Create a league with one tap and share the 6-digit join code with your friends. Stand-alone leaderboards, league chat, and badges for weekly winners.
- When do gameweek deadlines lock?
- Each gameweek's deadline is the kick-off of that gameweek's first match. Once it locks, your squad is set for the round — substitutions and captain changes have to be made before kick-off.
- What happens when a player's nation is eliminated?
- Eliminated players stop scoring. Your squad doesn't get auto-rotated, so plan your captain and core picks around teams you think will make deep runs. You can swap players between matchweeks if you have substitutions available.
