How to play World Cup Fantasy with FiT

As we announced last week, Soccerway Fantasy iTeam have released one of the first available Fantasy Football games geared towards the Russia 2018 World Cup.

A free Fantasy football app, FiT is available on many mobile devices, including iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android. It’s free to download and play, so you can start drafting your starting XI with unlimited transfers now.

We’ll be supporting FiT throughout the summer and have an official Fantasy Football Scout League, with a £1000 of Amazon vouchers to give out, split between the top three performers. There’s also the small matter of £10k worth of prizes available in the main competitions: Overall World Championship and Manager of the Gameround.

In this, our second article on the game, we take a closer look at the scoring system and principles involved when making transfers, monitoring price changes and maximising your squad for each Gameround.

Team Selection

FiT hands managers an initial budget of £75m to select their starting XI. There are seven formations (4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-5-1, 5-4-1, 5-3-2, 3-5-2 or 3-4-3) to choose from. Much like Fantasy Premier League, you must have at least three defenders and no more than a trio of forwards in your lineup.

For the initial group stages, you can only pick a maximum of three players from any side. This quota increases as the tournament goes on, rising to four in the first knockout round, five in the quarter-finals, six in the semi-finals and seven for the final.

Scoring Points

The scoring system is relatively straightforward, although there are several subtle differences from FPL.

Any player who starts a match is awarded two points, though an appearance off the bench earns a single point. There are no extra points earned for surpassing the hour-mark in a fixture.

Goalkeepers and defenders can both earn five points for clean sheets. To be eligible, a player must play 45 minutes or more and their team must not concede a goal in the entirety of the match. Contrary to FPL, players cannot retain their clean sheet even if they have played at least 45 minutes and the team only concedes after they were substituted.

For example, if Kyle Walker is substituted 55 minutes into England leading Panama 1-0, a goal from the opposition after his withdrawal will still wipe-out his clean sheet. Furthermore, one point is lost for every goal against rather than for every other.

If a game goes to extra-time, players will only register a clean sheet if they fail to concede over the entire 120 minutes.

Points for goal-scoring differ by position with seven on offer for goalkeepers and defenders, six for midfielders and five for forwards. An assist is worth three points, regardless of position.

Assist points are awarded by Opta within the Fantasy iTeam app.

This means that they follow similar rules that Fantasy managers will be used to playing FPL. Each one is carefully reviewed and you can read the criteria for them under the ‘Scoring Points’ tab in Fantasy iTeam’s Help section.

A red card deducts five points from a player’s score, while yellow cards do not have any detrimental effect.

Penalties are also crucial. Goalkeepers earn five points for saving a spot-kick, while a missed attempt deducts three points from the taker’s total. This does not apply to penalty shoot-outs, however.

As in FPL, the player you select as captain earns double points. A skipper can be set anytime, as long as it is before kick-off. You are, however, only allowed one captain per Gameround, but if the first captain you select doesn’t play, and is not on the bench, then you can choose another armband option in that Gameround.

When the matches kick off, it’s worth mentioning that you can also follow the action via the Match Centre. Opta’s content scoreboard is available for each match, and you can track goals and assists as they happen.

Transfers

The FiT World Cup game consists of seven Gamerounds.

The first includes every team’s opening Group Stage match, Gameweek 2 the second, and Gameweek 3 the third. After that stage of the competition is over, each knockout round is its own Gameround.

Managers will have three free transfers per Gameround to restructure their line-up.

There is an option to purchase a fourth Additional Transfer per round which costs 100 FiT Credits.

Transfers cannot be rolled over each Gameround; either you use them, or you lose them.

Once the Group Stages are over, managers are effectively handed a Wildcard where they can make unlimited transfers before the first fixture of the knockout stages.

However, there is a big twist to the FiT transfer strategy, unlike anything Fantasy managers will be used to playing FPL.

Once a player you own has started his match in a given Gameround, you can transfer them out for another who is playing in a later fixture, and still receive points for both.

This effectively means that if you have three transfers to use in a Gameround, you can gain points from up to 14 players.

This tactic could be particularly useful for rotating expensive players.

Rather than having three big hitters in your team at the start of a Gameround taking up a huge chunk of your budget, if you plan it right, you’ll have the one playing first in your team at the start of your Gameround.

Once they’ve played, you can then swap them out for the one playing next and so on.

This means you can have three big hitters playing without it having too much of an impact on the rest of your team.

The FiT rules give an example scenario where this strategy could come into play:

“You could have Antoine Griezmann in your iTeam for the 11 am match against Australia on Saturday 16th June, you can then transfer him out while France are playing, say 12 pm, and still receive his points for the rest of the game. You could bring in Lionel Messi in his place and then score points for him as well in the Argentina vs Iceland fixture at 2 pm on the same day.”

Finally, it’s crucial that you make your trades before the scheduled kick-off time of a match for a player to be eligible for points.

This rule is advantageous for the more active Fantasy manager, affording them the chance to monitor team-sheets and fine-tune their tinkering before kick-off.

One of the most interesting features of the game is the ability to schedule your transfers.

Scheduled transfers enable you to buy and sell players without the need to be anywhere near your device at the time of the transfer going through.

If you’re working, running multiple teams, forgetful, or relish those trips to the garden centre when matches are on, scheduling your transfers will be a great help. You can cancel or amend any planned transfers before they take place.

Player Prices

Keeping an eye on the transfer market is advised.

The Fantasy iTeam uses a PlayerDAQ index which changes at the end of each Gameround in accordance with player popularity.

Just as it is in FPL, it’ll pay to keep abreast of the bandwagons and to watch out for price drops in order to maximise team budgets.

However, Fantasy iTeam applies a more straightforward approach to earning profit from price rises than FPL. For example, if you purchase a player for £10.0m and he rises to £10.2m, your selling price is £10.2m as opposed to £10.1m.

Fantasy Football Scout League

We’ve already set up an official Fantasy Football Scout league for you to join – the league name is Fantasy Football Scout and the pin is 1887.

The issue with joining our league, experienced by Android users last week, has now been resolved.

      I think you might be onto something...
      I bet the hypnotized Karius at half time....

      really? first time you've mentioned that

    5. Nascimento

      Give it up. We live in a world where the majority support Real Madrid/Man utd due to recency of trophies. That, therefore, is where the money lies.

    It was great to see 5 ex-southampton players out there tonight. 2 of them responsible for 3 goals. Great recruitment poster.

    1. diesel001

      Shame you have to sell your players though. Might catch up with you eventually. Bertrand next?

      1. FPL_ANT

        Please leave us be. Right now we are like a club that wakes up in a strange hotel in a bath full of ice having had its major organs harvested.
        I'd say Bertrand and Lemina...

      Yes but they are ex players for a reason - that is that they have gone up in the world to much better and brighter things.;

      1. FPL_ANT

        No genuinely it's a great recruitment poster.
        Sign for us and you have a better chance of making a champions league final than if you sign for arsenal or spurs.

          Southampton have zero chance of ever making a Champions League final.

    After all that Karius had audacity to collect medal. Wow

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      He hasn’t been that bad recently.

      That awful performance did come out of left field.

    2. The Orienteer - find me in …
      • 12 Years

      But not put it round his neck I notice.

  4. The Mandalorian

    Bale obviously going to United, the best retirement home in England.

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yep, Mourinho has great plans for him.

      Bale left back, Sanchez right back.

      Would be completely wasted under Jose

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years

        Even Jose’s tactics might struggle to shackle him at his best though.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Reckon he'd be better off at Bayern. Robben and Ribery are just about done.

        Was thinking the same... utd needs a style of play, not more «stars».

        (Utd fan here)

    3. diesel001

      Would be ideal for Juventus IMO. Could be a proper talisman for them in the same way that Ronaldo is for Real, Neymar is for PSG and Messi is for Barcelona. Can Juventus afford him though?

      1. Ghost Gooner
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I was just saying the same to a mate the other day. The elite forwards should be at their own teams.

        Suarez at Inter
        Kun at Milan etc

        Hate this hoarding of players

      2. JustPark
        • 8 Years

        That actually is a legit thought.

    Ugh, Ramos.

        Can we crowdfund a hit at the World Cup, £1m to whoever ends his career!

        1. Regin
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Would love that!

      2. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Mané did it.

  6. Sailboats
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Karius's career is finished as a goalkeeper. Luckily for him, hes a good looking lad. He should consider a career switch to modelling. RIP

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I'd hit it.

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      He can go on tour with Bieber.

      All the girls would be throwing bras at him. He’d drop them obviously.

    3. Bunk Moreland

      The armlock is very popular in MMA. I think Ramos injured him on purpose.

  10. Dr Dream

    Dunno how many times it needs saying.

    There are loads of great keepers in this country wallowing in the reserves or in the Championship. Liverpool are just looking to hard at times for something they could easily solve.

    Nick Pope being the biggest case in point at the moment but there are plenty others.

    In general great keepers in the prem are found when the first choice gets injured and the deputy steps up....far more of those (%) have become successful keepers than have ever succeed from abroad.

    1. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah I feel for Karius but it has made Klopps top priority clear now.

      Has to be Butland surely?

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Chis Kirkland 2.0? Doubt it.

      2. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Donnarumma or Allison please

      3. Optimus.
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Is Butland even that good?, it smells of a Mignolet signing once more

      4. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Just something about Keller signings from abroad that are played from the off that is doomed to fail. Even those signed from abroad that spend time as a reserve keeper do well when they get a chance after a while. It must be a pressure thing.

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Joe Hart is available

    3. FPL_ANT
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Klopp isn't listening. Sure he signed VVD but really...
      I want goals Goals goals
      Vroom vroom
      Yaaaay

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Nick Pope might be the next GK to be ruined by England?

      David James, Rob Green, Scott Carson, Ben Foster, Joe Hart etc. What people haven't realised are England are crap so of course we are going to concede goals. Have people forgotten how Germany took us apart in 2010 - and we were meant to be decent then.

    5. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Just get whichever of Heaton and Pope Burnley are willing to sell.

    6. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Butland or one of the Burnley keepers surely now.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Plenty of good keepers about even in the championship. A goalkeeper is all about confidence...no matter how far you go to find one or how much you pay they're all just a few bad games away from finished...and that applies to all of them from top international to relative unknowns.

  11. FPL_ANT
    • 5 Years

    Coutinho must be furious at Karius.

  12. Make Arrows Green Again

    Price changes

    Up: Bale (12.1) Modric (9.8)

    Down: Karius (3.8)

    1. Fantasy Gold

    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Liverpool fan. We need a new keeper!!! And like for like across our front three! Every time salah Firmino or mane go off our attacking output diminishes massively especially with Salah.
    Well done Gareth Bale, I have no problem with the outcome, just gutted.

    1. FPL_ANT

      So they're paying someone millions to know this....

        Not sure, but I know this and no one paid me a penny.

    2. Patio Kev

      Wha about Fraser Forster - He should be available from your feeder club ?

      1. Fulgencio Obelmejias
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Good shout, he could be back up to mignolet till we replace Karius.

  14. Speédy

    Feel bad for Egypt. Their only WC hope stolen by Ramos.

      well in fairness he didn't intend it

      1. Speédy

        He absolutely did intend it.

    Any chance of Karius getting called up to the Germany World Cup squad ?

    Would love him in goal against England in the Quarter Finals.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      He would have a great game against us if he was playing. Just the way it is with England. We would be lucky to get a shot on goal. Look at our squad - we have Danny Welcrap (striker who doesn't score goals), Ashley Young (right-footed LB), RLC (untested youngster), Jesse Lingard (average player who goes on hot streaks). I mean it doesn't scream of quality.....

      1. Patio Kev
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I think any team with Harry Kane (if fit and firing) have got a chance.

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Kane is good in a team that has the ball. But if we play Germany, we will have to park the bus. We were better in 2010 and got smashed.....

          1. Patio Kev
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Kane is World Class - much like Salah.

            A very average Liverpool side with one World Class player have just made the Champions League Final.

            No reason why a very average England side with one World Class player can’t do well at the World Cup.

              • 7 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              Lol. Kane isn't as influential as Salah. His only contribution is goals and he relies on the service of his teammates. Even Eriksen is more influential than Kane at Spurs.

    2. Regin
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Karius should play in the regional leagues of Germany. Perhaps he should just become a garbage collector.

  16. A.T

    Bale and Ronaldo both doing goodbye interviews!!!

    1. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Didn’t catch Ron’s but Bale was very telegraphed.

      1. FPL_ANT
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Back to Southampton? We were so good back then we played him fullback.

        Spanish TV did the Ronaldo one according to BBC. Didn't hear it myself

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      There is no way he is leaving Madrid. Just negotiating a pay rise and more game time on live tv

      1. A.T
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I'm sure you're right.

      Benzema may be the one bidding adieu. CR7 and Bale to stay

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…

    I can’t even begin to imagine how it feels for Mo Salah now. Had a season he may not experience again (I hope that’s wrong) in a WC year. The most important game of the season so far and he goes down 🙁

        Ramos knew exactly what he was going. Surely.

          Ofcourse he did would make Zizou's mate Materazzi proud

      He'll be fine just needs to join Madrid in the summer and win CL next year.

      On the serious note, I will be gutted if he misses WC.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Me too. It doesn’t look optimistic though 🙁

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years

      Really hope it’s not as bad as initially feared and he makes the WC.

      Horrible. Doesn’t deserve this 🙁

      1. Les Bleus

        And what a humble guy he is as well. Makes it that much worse

      Look at the replay

        Looked at the replay. That was intentional.

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          100% intentional

          The real problem was that Liverpool didn't have anyone with a similar attitude.

    The sad thing is Real Madrid were very average at best tonight, they were there for the taking.

    This will be the most disappointing thing from a Liverpool point of view. They gifted Real Madrid the trophy

    1. A.T
      • 13 Years

      Bale's goal deserved it. Can't think of a better goal ever.

        • 14 Years

        Yeah that was special

      Real Madrid win at all costs. Biggest club in the game. It's what they do.

        RM haven't won anything except thru cheating.

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 7 Years

          well they've won 3 consecutive CL's

            • 8 Years

            They also likely would have sacked the manager if they lost today

      Real put up a great performance. Resilient !

    They gifted Sevilla the trophy because of Moreno.
    As Oscar Wilde said....
    To gift one trophy because you couldn't give a sh** about defense is unfortunate.
    To gift a second trophy because you couldn't give a sh** about defense is careless.

    World Cup fantasy...

    Pogba or Blaszczykowski?

    Trippier or Guerreiro?

    Griezmann or Mbappe?

    Ramos or Eriksen?

    Early opinions

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Blaszczykowski is a question mark, had a back injury since last autumn - not certain to play 90mins.
      Top budget freindly picks from Polish team are Milik, Zielinski and Grosicki.

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Interesting, Grosicki not set the world alight at Hull

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years

          Always good in national team.

  26. JustPark

    Cheeky Bale. Bet he went for that second goal after that first mistake flashback coming in when he took a glimpse at Karius.

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Just seconds before the shot, you could see ronaldo gestured him a forward sign. Not sure if he was asking for the ball or asking him to take a shot and he could recoup if there was a deflect from Karius

  27. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    who do you think Liverpool should sign now ?

    for me I'd get a new goalie (Alisson?), a better back up winger and a new CB

    they've already got Keita coming in so that's a plus

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Heaton or Pope would be sensible

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Squad is weak - reaching the CL just papers over the cracks that they aren't actually that good - 25 points behind the PL leaders despite having a player who arguably had the best individual season in PL history.

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I agree there, they simply don't have the squad depth compared to other big European clubs

    3. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yep those priorities and a new AM ideally Fekir

    4. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years

      Joe Hart 😆

    5. MTPockets
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Or keep Karius - because unlikely he makes those mistakes again.

      • Fulgencio Obelmejias
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Cover for the front three in the same style, lallana solanke and ings just don't cut the style of play

      • Fulgencio Obelmejias
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        And obviously a new keeper

      • Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        They are awful whenever one of their front 3 are out. Horrible squad depth

    6. Regin
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Who is the biggest cheat? Ramos, karius or that British referee who gifted RM penalty in the last minute vs Juventus???

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Salah. He did well faking the shoulder injury.

      2. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Howard “I love Man Utd” Webb

    7. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years

      The pitch invader stopped more goals than the Liverpool keeper did

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Felt nice that he stopped ronaldo s move

    8. Regin
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Has Michael Olivier collected his winner s medal? For gifting RM the pk in the last minute vs Juventus?

      1. Optimus.

        It was a peno

        Liverpool wouldn’t have beaten Juve either to be fair though......
