    All team management decisions such as player transfers and choosing your captain occur under the Manage My Team tab. You can select your team by following our simple on-screen instructions. Alternatively, you can use the handy Autocomplete function to help pick your team, which can then be freely modified right up until the round starts.

    Team Selections

    The following rules apply to team selection:

    You will need to select your team in the standard 4-4-2 configuration as shown.

  • 1 x Goalkeeper
  • 4 x Defenders
  • 4 x Midfielders
  • 2 x Strikers
  • You can select a maximum of 7 players from any one PSL club throughout the season.

    You must select a full team of 11 players and your captain before you can save your team.

    Your Captain can be any player in your team and he will score double points.

    Players can only be selected in their designated position i.e. you cannot pick a Striker to play as a Defender.

    Scoring Points

    Your Dream Team is awarded points based on the actual performance of the players in your team during each match. Scores are updated at the end of each Round.

    The selected players in your team score points as follows:

    Action Details Points
    Appearance For playing in a full game 4

    For playing in a part of a game 2
    Result Points Win points 4

    Draw points 2
    Goals For each goal scored by your goalkeeper or defenders

    10


    For each goal scored by your midfielders and strikers 8
    Assists For each goal assist 5
    Clean Sheets For your goalkeeper / defender keeping a clean sheet 8

    For your midfielder keeping a clean sheet 6
    Cards Yellow card -2

    Red card (includes any yellow card points) -4

    Note:
    A goal assist is awarded to the player who makes the last pass to the actual goal scorer. Assists may also be awarded for a player substantially contributing to the goal. (For example, a player makes a run and shoots at goal, goalie blocks but the ball bounces out to another player who then scores the goal. The first player who originally shot at goal may be awarded an assist). Assists are awarded based on data feeds and the judges decision. The judges decision is final and no further correspondence will be entered into.

    Player Transfers

    Player transfers occur on the Manage My Team page. You can make unlimited transfers before the season starts. You are then restricted to a maximum of 4 transfers per Round with a total limit of 60 transfers for the tournament. Changing your captain within your existing team does not count as one of your available transfers.

    Note:
    The Manage My Team page is temporarily unavailable while a Round is in progress. It will only open at the end of a Round once the scores have been updated. You can then make changes to your team for the next Round. The Transfer Window will remain open up until the start of the next Round. A countdown clock indicates the time remaining until Lockout. Be sure to choose carefully before saving your team as all changes are final and cannot be reversed.

    Scoring Points

    Earn points in SuperPredictor by accurately predicting the result of each match in the Round.

    Points are awarded according to the following:

    1. For predicting the correct match result (e.g. win, draw) = 20 pts
    2. For correctly predicting the exact score for each team = 10 pts

    Final score margin points
    Awarded for accuracy in relation to a team's final score. The closer you are to the final score, the more points you earn. I

  • 1 goal off final score = 5 pts
  • 2 or more goals off final score = 0 pts
  • Example
    You predict Orlando Pirates to beat Ajax Cape Town by 2 goals to 1. Actual result is 2-0 to Pirates. You earn 20 points for the correct result i.e. Pirates win. Score 10 points for correctly predicting the exact number of Pirates goals and score 5 points for being 1 goal off the final Ajax score. Therefore, total points scored for this prediction would have been 35 points.

There are two types of public leagues known as the Global League and Round League which are available for both Dream Teams and SuperPredictor. You can also set up one or many Private Leagues in either game format where you challenge your friends and family to play against you. Here’s how it works:

    Global Fantasy League

You can choose to send an automatic email to your friends by entering their email addresses online, or alternatively you can forward your Private League code to them. You can also upload your own logo for your league. An additional feature in the Leagues area is a message board which you can use to communicate with other team managers in your League by posting comments.
