How to Play
Welcome to FantasyMaestro! This guide will walk you through the basics of playing our fantasy football game. Follow these simple steps to create your team and start competing against other managers around the world.
1. Download and Register
Download the FantasyMaestro app from our website and create your account. You’ll need to provide:
- A valid email address
- Username
- Password
- Date of birth (you must be 18+ to play)
2. Build Your Team
After registering, you’ll be given a virtual budget (usually €100M) to build your squad. Your squad must consist of:
- 2 Goalkeepers
- 5 Defenders
- 5 Midfielders
- 3 Forwards
Each player has a price based on their real-world performance and popularity. Top players will cost more, requiring you to balance star power with value picks.
Team Constraints:
- You can’t select more than 3 players from the same club
- You must stay within your €100M budget
- All 15 positions must be filled
3. Select Your Starting XI
From your squad of 15 players, you’ll need to select 11 to start each gameweek. Consider:
- Upcoming fixtures (easier opponents may yield more points)
- Player form and fitness
- Whether a player is likely to start for their real team
- Home or away matches (players often perform better at home)
You’ll also need to choose a formation, such as 3-4-3, 4-4-2, or 5-3-2. Your formation must include:
- 1 Goalkeeper
- At least 3 Defenders
- At least 2 Midfielders
- At least 1 Forward
Finally, select a captain and vice-captain. Your captain’s points are doubled, and if they don’t play, the vice-captain becomes your captain.
4. Join Leagues
Compete against friends, family, or the global FantasyMaestro community by joining leagues:
- Global League: You’re automatically entered into the overall global league to compete against all players worldwide
- Private Leagues: Create or join private leagues with a unique code shared by the league creator
- Regional Leagues: Compete against managers from your country or region
- Head-to-Head Leagues: Play against one opponent each gameweek in a mini-season format
5. Manage Your Team Weekly
Each gameweek, you can:
- Make transfers (limited number for free, extras cost points)
- Change your captain
- Rearrange your starting XI and bench
- Use special chips (Wildcard, Triple Captain, Bench Boost, etc.)
Pro Tip:
Don’t make knee-jerk transfers based on a single poor performance. Look at the bigger picture and consider a player’s fixtures, form, and historical performance before transferring them out.
6. Understand the Scoring
Players earn points based on their real-world performances. Familiarize yourself with our scoring system to maximize your team’s potential.
