Rules & terms
Game rules
Fantasy World Cup — operated on Fanroa.com. How the game works, how points are calculated, and the terms under which you use the platform.
How it works
- Pick a starting eleven of real players within a budget of 100 M € and choose your formation.
- Name a captain — their points are multiplied by ×2.
- You set your lineup for each round. You can also prepare it several rounds in advance.
- If you don't change your lineup for a round, it carries over from the previous round.
- Round deadline = kickoff of the first match in that round. After the deadline your lineup for that round is locked and cannot be changed.
- Once results and stats are entered, points are calculated automatically and the global league table is updated.
Lineup & budget
- 11 players — 1 goalkeeper (GK) plus a spread of defenders (DF) / midfielders (MF) / forwards (FW) according to your chosen formation.
- The budget of 100 M € is a hard cap — the total cost of your players must not exceed it.
- Each player has a position (GK / DF / MF / FW); only a player of the matching position can fill a slot.
- Everyone plays in one global league — your lineup is set per round and your points feed a single shared table.

Captain — points multiplier×2
A player's points are the sum across all their matches in the round. "Goals conceded" and "clean sheet" apply only to goalkeepers and defenders, and only when 60+ minutes are played. A player who does not appear (0 minutes) scores 0 points.
Rounds, deadlines & locking
- A round is a set of matches. The round deadline is the moment the first match kicks off.
- After the deadline your lineup for that round is frozen (a snapshot is saved) and can no longer be edited for that round.
- You can prepare and change lineups for future (not yet locked) rounds at any time.
- Points and standings are updated after the admin enters match results and stats.
