Playing Guide

Before you start drafting players, you need to either create a league or join an existing one.

Creating a League

Set up a public or private league, inviting friends or competing against other managers.
Customize scoring rules, transfer policies, and league formats to suit your playstyle.
Choose between Classic Points Leagues, Head-to-Head Battles, or Draft-Only Leagues.

Joining a League

The draft is the most crucial part of fantasy football, as your team’s success depends on picking the right players.

Types of Drafts on VEWP

Live Drafts: Take turns selecting players in real-time.
Auto Drafts: If you can’t make the live event, the system will pick the best available players for you.
Auction Drafts: Instead of taking turns, managers bid on players using a virtual budget.

Draft Strategy Tips:

Prioritize high-performing midfielders and forwards who rack up goals and assists.
Select defenders from strong teams to maximize clean sheet points.
Keep an eye on fixture schedules— a player with favorable early matches can give you a strong start.
Ensure you have rotation options on your bench for injuries and suspensions.

Once your squad is drafted, the real challenge begins— managing your team every week to ensure you score the most points possible.

Setting Your Starting XI

Making Transfers & Adjustments

Weekly Transfers: Some leagues allow free transfers, while others require you to manage a limited transfer budget.
Waiver System: In leagues with waivers, unselected players become available to claim after a set period.
Trading Players: Some leagues allow trades between managers, adding another layer of strategy.

Your team earns points based on how well your selected players perform in real-life matches.

How Points Are Scored

Goals & Assists: Midfielders and forwards earn big points for scoring and assisting.
Clean Sheets: Defenders and goalkeepers receive bonuses for keeping clean sheets.
Saves & Tackles: Goalkeepers and defensive players can earn extra points for saves and key defensive actions.
Cards & Penalties: Players lose points for yellow/red cards, missed penalties, and own goals.

Live Scoring & Performance Tracking

Monitor real-time scores to see how your players are performing.
