Types of Contests

There are two types of football (soccer) contests on FantasyGo: Gameweek contests and Match contests.

Gameweek contests: Also sometimes known as Round contests. These are fantasy contests that take place over multiple matches, usually taking place across multiple days. 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.
