VERIFYING POINTS
Opta provides the stats that inform our points system, and you can visit their website for the definitions of each. Please note that all points will remain as they were originally awarded.
Below is more information on how goalkeepers and defenders become in contention for clean-sheet points in Fantasy United, plus an introduction to best-in-position points, an extra way for you to score at the end of every match United win.
GK & DEF clean sheet and started: Player appeared in the starting line-up and team keeps a clean sheet for the whole game (including extra-time).
GK & DEF clean sheet and subbed on: Player substituted on at any stage and team keeps a clean sheet for the whole game (including extra-time).
Best in position: If United win, one bonus point is attributed to the highest point scorer within the forwards, midfielders and defenders/goalkeepers. If more than one player is tied on points at the top of a positional category, they will each receive a bonus point.
