Frequently Asked Questions
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, ice time, power play opportunities, and value for money when making selections. Pay attention to line combinations and player roles.
Q: How do price changes work? A: Player prices fluctuate based on transfer activity and performance. Popular players’ prices rise as more managers buy them, while less popular players’ prices fall. Understanding these changes is key to building team value.
Q: What is the captain system? A: Your captain earns double points for their performance. Choose your captain wisely each day, considering matchups, form, and potential for high-scoring games. The captain choice can make or break your daily performance.
Q: What happens if my player gets injured? A: If a player is injured, you can transfer them out or keep them on your bench until they return. We provide regular injury updates to help you make informed decisions. Pay special attention to injury reports before games.
Q: How do private leagues work? A: Private leagues allow you to compete against friends or colleagues. You can create your own league with custom settings, invite specific players, and even set up mini-leagues within your main competition.
