Q: Why don't I receive any points for some of my players?

Q: Why are there restrictions and limits on player selection for each position?
A: To make the competition challenging and more reflective of the real life game, position limits have been set up to reflect a true team in selecting the appropriate amount of players in their rightful positions. There is also a limit of
6 players from each participating nation, in order to create a truly international and varied team.
Q: How many players do I have to start with in each game initially, and do I need to have that exact number?

us to calculate points for your team. No points will be
allocated to any of your players until your roster does not
consist of 11 players.
