Scoring points

There are plenty of ways to score points in EURO 2024 Fantasy, but here's some of the key ones:

• Goals (4 points for forwards, 5 for midfielders, 6 for defenders and goalkeepers)
• Scoring from outside the box (1 point)
• Assists (3 points per player)
• Clean sheets (4 points for goalkeepers and defenders)
• Player of the Match (3 points)

Captain

A key way of maximising your points total in EURO Fantasy is the ability to change your captain within matchdays. Just as you can substitute out players who don't deliver the points you'd hoped for, you can switch captains too – and with double points on offer for your captain, that's a big opportunity to score heavily.

Leagues

Want to challenge your mates? Why not set up a private league and give them the code to take you on and see who comes out on top over the tournament?

You'll also be automatically entered into three public leagues – the overall leaderboard, one with other players from your country and one with other players who support the same EURO 2024 team as you.
