Three steps. Each knockout round: pick three players, set your own lines and predict their fantasy points on those calls. Beat your lines and climb the board.
Every knockout round, draft one forward, one midfielder and one defender from the slate. That trio is your squad for the round.
For each pick, set your own call on their fantasy points — take an Over / Under on your line or In / Out on your Range. Profit is rewarded based on your prediction.
PnL is scored from the official FIFA match stats. Beat your lines and your bankroll grows — the round's top profit takes the prize.
Every pick is graded on the player's real match stats, position-weighted. Here's the full rubric and a worked example.
