Everything you need to know about how points are earned in plFantasy.
Build a 15-player squad within a 100M budget, then choose which eleven start each gameweek. A team cannot have more than three players from any single club.
Only your eleven starters earn points (plus your bench if you play the Bench Boost chip). Points are awarded for all the usual football actions. The exact points depend on the player's position and performance during the match.

Before each deadline you name one player your captain and another your vice-captain. If your captain ends up not playing, the armband moves to the vice-captain automatically.
Prices move after each gameweek based on performance, not popularity. A player can only move once per gameweek.
Chips are boosts that can be played to increase one's chances of getting more points for a gameweek. The season is split into two halves - gameweeks 1–19 and 20–38, and you get a fresh set of chips in each half. You can play only one chip per gameweek, and once it's played it can't be reversed. Unused first-half chips don't carry over.
Unlimited free transfers for the gameweek. Changes are permanent, squad does not revert.
Unlimited temporary transfers for one gameweek with an unlimited budget. Your original squad is restored the following gameweek.
All 4 bench players score points this gameweek.
Captain earns 3× points instead of 2×. Passes to vice-captain if captain does not play.
Pick a favourite EPL club. Earn your normal squad points PLUS bonus points from that club's match performance.
When you play MyTeam you pick one Premier League club for the gameweek. On top of your normal squad points, you earn extra points from how that club does in its real match, its goals, clean sheet and result all add up, and there's a bonus if they were the underdog in the match.
Underdog bonus applies when your selected team starts the gameweek lower in the league table than their opponent.
If one of your starters doesn't play at all, the game brings on a substitute in their place so you're never left a player short, as long as the swap keeps your formation legal.
