The version of fantasy football in the United Kingdom is the largest, with over 9 million players. Fantasy Football Scout ranks fantasy football managers on their website based on past performance. Teams Most fantasy football leagues, especially those run by national newspapers, ask participants to select 11 to 15 players within a price budget. There is usually a restriction on the number of players per club; a typical selection would be to select 1 goalkeeper, 4 defenders, 4 or 3 midfielders and 2 or 3 forwards. Some games are squad-based, where participants choose not just a first eleven but also a set of substitutes. Normally only 3 players can be used from one team. In smaller leagues played by a small group of people, players are bought by bidding between the rival managers rather than for a set amount of money. This means a particular player can only play for one team, and thus any points he accrues are credited to that team only. Typically, most leagues offer the chance to transfer players in and out of the team as the season progresses, in case of injury, suspension or loss of form. Points scoring Points are then gained or deducted depending on players' performances. Points systems vary between games, but points are typically awarded for some or all of the following achievements: Playing in a match (or part of a match e.g. at least 60 minutes) Scoring a goal Earning an assist (the pass or touch leading to the goal) Keeping a clean sheet (goalkeepers, midfielders, and defenders only) Saving a penalty (goalkeeper only) Goalkeeper saves three shots or more Win for the player's team As well as the above, points can be deducted for some or all of the following: Conceding a goal (goalkeepers and defenders only) Receiving a yellow or red card Missing a penalty kick Scoring an own goal Getting substituted Loss for the player's team The number of points each achievement or offence is credited with varies between different games. For example, in the Daily Telegraph league, three points are awarded for an assist, and five for a goal. Due to the emphasis placed on assists and goal-scoring, the value of players can differ greatly from real-life football, both in terms of individuals and position. For example, Claude Makélélé, considered to be one of the best midfielders in real life, was rarely considered a valuable player
