Game Rules
All results will be determined by the number of points accumulated by each entrant’s 11 player roster based on the PlayOn scoring criteria and there is no need to select either a captain or to choose from alternative playing formations.
There are no restrictions on the number of players that can be selected form a particular team.
"[Arsene Wenger] likes having the ball, playing football, passes. It's like an orchestra. But it's a silent song. I like heavy metal" Jürgen Klopp, Manager, Liverpool FC
Team Selection
Team selection is really straightforward on PlayON. Simply select 11 players in a 4-4-2 formation from the $100m budget at your disposal.
Your line-up is displayed in a ‘pitch view’ and there is an ‘ADD’ button next to each player. Once you click this button the player automatically appears in your line-up unless you have already submitted enough players to fill that position. If you change your mind you can just click on the ‘REMOVE’ button that appears next to each player after he has been added.
Players can be filtered by position, salary, team or player name and by ownership levels.
Teams must be submitted 10 minutes before the first match in the contest and your opponent’s roster will be visible to you after kick-off of the designated contest
Competition Lobby
All customers are presented with their own personal dashboard which allows for easy navigation.
You can view upcoming contests in the game lobby, track the activity of your referrals, edit any line-ups you have submitted, follow live games, check your results and issue challenges to other players.
When you click into a contest it’s also easy to see all the relevant information such as the fixtures included, start times, the number of permitted entries, buy-in size, prize structures as well as which players have entered the tournament so far.
