How to Play Fantasy Football on Dream11

Creating your team

Every football team you build on Dream11 has to have 11 players, of which a maximum of 7 players can be from any one team playing the real-life match.

Player Combinations

Your Dream11 can have different combinations of players, but has to be within the 100 credit cap and must qualify the following team selection criteria:

Player Type	Min	Max
Goalkeeper	1	1
Defender	3	5
Midfielder	3	5
Forward	1	3

Captain and Vice-Captain Points

Once you have selected your 11 players, you will have to assign a captain and vice-captain for your team.

The captain will give you 2x points scored by them in the actual match.

The vice-captain will give you 1.5x points scored by them in the actual match.

The Captained By (% C By) and Vice-Captained By (% VC By) stats help you understand how other players have chosen their teams.

Choose a popular pick as captain, or find a differential to score big against your competition.

A Direct Assist is the final touch (pass, cross or any other touch) leading to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal.
In addition to normal assists, the following types of Fantasy Assists will be awarded to a player:
- a)
  When a shot is saved by goalkeeper, blocked by the opposition player or hits the goal post, and is scored on the rebound
- b)
  When a player wins a penalty or a direct free-kick that is scored
- c)
  When an opposition player scores an own goal off a cross, pass or shot
A Chance Created, also known as a 'key pass', is the final touch (pass, cross or any other touch) leading to a shot, regardless of whether it is on target (including goals), blocked or off target.
Note: If a player gets points for a Fantasy Assist, they will not be awarded points for a Chance Created. For example, if a player's shot is saved by a goalkeeper and is scored on the rebound, the player will get points for a Shot on Target and Fantasy Assist, but won't earn points for Chance Created.
A Shot on Target is any goal attempt that:
- a)
  Is a goal
- b)
  Would have been a goal but was saved by the goalkeeper or was stopped by an opposition player who is the last-man (with the goalkeeper having no chance of preventing the goal)
A shot on target in NOT awarded when:
- a)
  The shot hits the goal post (unless the ball goes in and is a goal)
- b)
  The shot is blocked by another player, who is not the last-man
If player A passes the ball to player B, who then scores, then player B is awarded a Goal and a Shot on Target, while player A is awarded an Assist and Chance Created

If a player gets substituted before a goal is conceded but has played more than 54 minutes, they will still get the Clean Sheet bonus.
If a player misses a penalty kick but the goalkeeper hasn't touched the ball, the goalkeeper will NOT get any points for saving the penalty, while the penalty taker will get -20 points for the miss

Other Important Points

We get all our stats from Opta, the world's leading football data provider. However, in case there is a clear error from our provider's end, we may modify the stats.
The player you choose to be your team’s Captain will receive 2 times the points for his/her performance
The player you choose to be your team’s Vice-captain will receive 1.5 times the points for his/her performance
54 minutes and 1 second onwards (54’1”) will be considered as 55 minutes for the purpose of point calculation.
Once a match has been marked as completed and winners have been declared, no further adjustments will be made to the points awarded. Points awarded for a LIVE game will be subject to change only when the match status is “In Progress” or “In Review”.
Any event during extra time will be considered for awarding points
Any event during penalty shootouts will not be considered for awarding points
Starting points are assigned to any player on the basis of announcement of his/her inclusion in the team. However, in case the player is unable to start the match after being included in the team sheet, he/she will not score any points. Points shall however, be applicable (including starting points) to any player who plays as a replacement of such player to whom starting points were initially assigned.
In case a player is transferred/reassigned to a different team between two scheduled updates, for any reason whatsoever, such transfer/reassignment (by whatever name called) shall not be reflected in the roster of players until the next scheduled update. It is clarified that during the intervening period of two scheduled updates, while such player will be available for selection in the team to which the player originally belong, no points will be attributable to such player during the course of such contest.

In case the player does not play the match at all, no points will be given.
If a player received a yellow or red card for an off-field activity, the Fantasy Points will come into effect if
