Q: What is the best strategy for selecting players? A: Focus on players who consistently perform well, consider upcoming matchups, and maintain a balanced squad. It’s important to look at form, minutes played, and value for money when making selections. Pay attention to back-to-back games and player usage rates.
Q: Can I make changes to my team after the season starts? A: Yes! You can make transfers throughout the season, subject to your league’s rules. Most formats give you a certain number of free transfers per day, with additional transfers costing points. Daily lineup changes are also possible.
