How points work

How to play

Single games

For each game, you pick one team for each of the five categories. You can change your selections right up until the game starts.

As the game is played, the two teams' points will be updated, and you can see your points total.

Points categories

  • Passing accuracy: teams earn between 20–50 points when their passing accuracy is over 60%. Accuracy is calculated from accurate passes / total passes × 100.
  • Shooting accuracy: teams earn between 20–50 points when their shooting accuracy is over 20%. Accuracy is calculated from shots on goal / total shots × 100.
  • Corners: teams earn 3 points for every corner they win.
  • Fouls: teams lose 1 point for every foul they commit (pick the team you think will commit fewer fouls!)
  • xG diff: teams earn or lose points based on the difference between how many goals they score compared to their expected goals ("xG"). Their xG difference is mulitplied by 10 points (limited between -20 and 20 points). For example, a team which scores 2 goals and has an xG of 1.24 will earn 7.6 points (0.76 × 10).
