Q: What is the best strategy for selecting players? A: Focus on players who consistently perform well, consider upcoming matchups, and maintain a balanced squad. It’s important to look at form, minutes played, and value for money when making selections. Pay attention to back-to-back games and player usage rates.
Q: How do back-to-back games affect player performance? A: Back-to-back games can impact player performance and minutes. Some teams may rest star players, while others might limit minutes. Monitor team schedules and rotation patterns to make informed decisions.
Q: What happens if my player gets injured? A: If a player is injured, you can transfer them out or keep them on your bench until they return. We provide regular injury updates to help you make informed decisions. Pay special attention to injury reports before daily games.
