Game Rules
You will be given a 100M budget from which you must select 11 players. Playing formations are flexible but you must include at least 1 goalkeeper, 3-5 defenders, 3-5 midfielders and 1-3 forwards. You will also select a captain who will earn double points. Teams need to be submitted 5 minutes before the first match in the contest kicks off.
As an additional attraction Fanaments offer Pick'em contests where you select the match outcome (1, X or 2) for a number of fixtures, indicating the winning margin or in the case of a draw whether both teams will score. 3 points are awarded per correct outcome with a bonus point on offer for correct winning margin/score draw or no score draw. You will also highlight one match (marking it x2) in which points will count double.
"The secret of being a good manager is to keep the six players who hate you away from the five who are undecided."Jock Stein, Former Scotland National Coach
Team Selection
Player selection is really straightforward. There is a search box in which you can type a player’s name, a slider to filter by valuation, the option to search by team, position and total points.
Players can also be sorted by statistic with 16 options available e.g. Average points last 5 rounds, Goals conceded.
Your line-up is presented in list form and you need to mark one player CP to indication your choice of captain.
Competition Lobby
When you click into a contest all the key information is displayed at the top of the screen. This includes: start time, fixtures within the contest, prize pool, entry fee, number of players entered, the maximum number of entries and the maximum number of entries per user.
In the main lobby you have the option to create your own tournament. Simply follow the on-screen instructions filling in the boxes as appropriate.
Usability is one of Fanaments key strengths and this certainly applies in terms of navigation. The main lobby allows you to filter contests by sport, game type (Fantasy or Pick’em), pay-out structure and entry fee.

Scoring System
Two things worth pointing out are that your selected captain will score double points and that tiebreaker rules apply should you finish level on points with another competitor.
The scoring criteria that is in place rewards all players points for specific actions as well additional points that only apply to individual positions.
Fanaments ‘Live Score Centre’ provides users with real-time updates on their team’s performance against opposing managers.
The full Fanaments Scoring System can be seen here along with the tiebreaker definition.
