Scoring Guide

Position-specific scoring that makes every player valuable

Why Position-Specific Scoring?

Traditional fantasy football often favors attacking players who score goals. In DraftX, we believe a crucial defensive tackle or a game-saving goalkeeper performance should be valued just as highly as a goal. Our scoring system reflects the true value each position brings to a team.

Understanding the Scoring:

  • Points are awarded based on the player's position in your squad
  • Goalkeepers excel at saves and clean sheets but score big for rare goals
  • Defenders are rewarded for defensive actions and clean sheets
  • Midfielders get balanced points across all categories
  • Forwards focus on attacking returns but still earn for defensive work
