The Short Answer: Match cards show you the result of a single match — the teams, the score, the competition, and how many fantasy points that match earned. They appear on the League Home page and the My Team page.
Anatomy of a Match Card
Each match card contains:
- Match Status (top left) — FT, HT, live minute, or scheduled kickoff time
- Scores — Goals scored by each team
- Team names and crests
- Fantasy points earned (right side)
- Competition and phase (bottom)
Match Card Elements
Match Status (Left Side)
| Display | Meaning |
|---|---|
| FT | Full Time — the match is complete |
| HT | Half Time — the match is at halftime |
| 45' | Live — showing the current minute |
| 0:00 | Scheduled — match hasn't started (shows kickoff time) |
Most of the time you'll see FT for completed matches.
Scores
The numbers show goals scored by each team. The team listed on top is typically the home team.
Fantasy Points Earned (Right Side)
The number on the right shows the total fantasy points earned from this match.
This is calculated as:
Fantasy Points = Goal Differential + Match Result Points
Example: Liverpool 2-1 Ipswich (Premier League)
- GD: +2 scored, -1 conceded = +1
- MRP: League win = +3
- Total: +4 points
Competition and Phase (Bottom)
Examples:
English Premier League (Week 12)UEFA Champions League (League Phase)FA Cup (Round 4)DFB-Pokal (Quarterfinal)
Points Display: Starter vs. Bench
The points display changes depending on whether the team is in your Starting 5 or on your Bench.
Starting Team = Full Opacity
If your team is a starter this month:
- Points display at full brightness
- These points count toward your total
Bench Team = Reduced Opacity
If your team is on your bench this month:
- Points display faded/greyed out
- These points do not count toward your total
- You're seeing what you would have earned if they were starting
This visual distinction lets you quickly see:
- ✅ Bright points = points you got
- 👻 Faded points = points you missed

Reading Points in Context
Positive Points
Your team won or drew with a positive goal differential. Good result.
Zero or Low Points
Your team drew with neutral GD, or lost narrowly. A 0-0 draw in a league match earns +1 (draw bonus) but 0 GD = +1 total.
Negative Points
Your team lost and conceded more goals than they scored.
Example: Your team loses 0-3.
- GD: 0 scored, 3 conceded = -3
- MRP: Loss = 0
- Total: -3 points
Yes, bad losses hurt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do some points appear faded?
Faded points are from bench teams — teams on your roster but not in your Starting 5 this month. Those results don't count toward your score, but you can see what you missed.
My team won but the points seem low. Why?
Check the goal differential. A 1-0 league win gives +3 (win) + 1 (GD) = +4 total. A 1-0 cup win gives +4 (win) + 1 (GD) = +5 total. Narrow wins score lower than high-scoring wins.
How do I know which competition a match is from?
Check the competition label at the bottom of the match card. It shows the competition name and the round or matchweek.
Can I see historical match cards?
Yes. Scroll back through your Match History on the My Team page to see all past match cards for the season.
