1

Squad Building Philosophy

Craft your 15-player dream team within ₹100 crore budget. Max 2 players from single ISL club to prevent Mumbai-style monopolies. Formation must include: 2 keepers (like Bengaluru FC's Gurpreet Singh), 5 defenders, 5 midfielders, 3 strikers.

Matchday Management

Choose 11 starters with minimum: 1 keeper (no East Bengal vs Mohun Bagan bias!), 3 defenders, 2 midfielders, 1 striker. Automatic position swap follows Goa's tactical flexibility rules. Subs activate only if starters miss entire match.

3

Transfer Market Rules

Unlimited pre-season transfers. During matches: 3 weekly swaps allowed. Deadline - 1 hour before Hyderabad FC's first kick-off. Late transfers go to Mumbai's "Pending Tactics" queue for next gameweek.

Scoring System

Goals = +6 pts (like Sunil Chhetri's finish), clean sheets = +4 for defenders. Own goals = -3 (avoid Kerala Blasters' last season drama!). Full stats breakdown in our Pune data center.

Captaincy Strategy

Choose your Mumbai-style leader: captain gets 2x points. If benched, vice-captain (1.5x) steps up. Emergency subs follow Kolkata's "Rain Rule" priority list during monsoons.

Pro Strategies from Indian Fantasy Champions

Monsoon Match Planning

During Kolkata monsoons, prioritize players with high aerial duel stats (85+). Use our "Pitch Condition Tracker" to monitor waterlogging risks at Salt Lake Stadium.

Strategic Substitution Windows

Use Mumbai's "Golden Minute" tactic: swap injured players between 60-75th minutes when real coaches make 80% of substitutions. Our AI syncs with ISL benches in real-time.

Penalty Predictor

75% of ISL penalties are taken by designated specialists. Track Goa's Brandon Fernandes (93% conversion) via our "Spot-Kick Radar" feature during match build-up.

Home Ground Mastery

Hyderabad FC players score 31% more points at home. Use our "Stadium Synergy" tool to analyze crowd support effects at Gachibowli Stadium.
