✅ Player Participation – Action Rule
For a pick to be active, the player must be in the starting XI. If a player is not part of the starting lineup, their entry will be marked as voided, even if they later enter the game as a substitute.
Additionally, if a listed starter is injured in the first half and does not return for the second half, that pick will be voided in accordance with our Voided Picks Policy.
However, normal gameplay substitutions—such as being subbed off for performance, tactical reasons, or accumulation of cards—do not qualify for a void and will stand as action.
📊 Stat Categories & Definitions
🔹 Offensive Stats
Goals
A goal is scored when the ball crosses the goal line and is confirmed as a goal by the referee. The player who scores the goal will receive credit for it.Assists
An assist is awarded for a pass leading directly to a goal. This includes assists from a corner kick, throw-in, or free kick. A player is not awarded an assist if they regain control of the ball from the defense and score, or if the goal is from a penalty kick.Shots
The total number of shots taken by a player, regardless of whether they are on target. This includes shots that miss or are blocked by defenders, and penalties or free kicks in regular time.Shots on Goal

The total number of passes a player attempts during the match, whether successful or unsuccessful. Any intentional pass—short, long, through ball, cross, or back pass—counts as a pass attempt.Own Goals
If a defender accidentally puts the ball into their own net, they are credited with an own goal. They will not receive credit for a shot or shot on goal for this. However, if an attacking player’s shot is deflected by the defender into the net, the attacking player is still credited with a shot and a shot on goal.

The total number of shots on target a goalkeeper successfully stops from entering the net. A “save” is only counted when the shot would have resulted in a goal without the goalkeeper’s intervention.Goals Against
