You need to pick 11 players from the teams playing in that group of matches. You can select a maximum of 3 players from one team in a gameweek contest.

**Match contests**: These are fantasy contests that take place over a single match. You need to pick 11 players from the two teams playing in the match. You can select a maximum of 7 players from one team in a match contest.

Note: Some special contests will have an unlimited budget feature, this will be clearly marked on the contest card.
