Points are earned according to how the selected players perform in real-life situations, these are then converted into fantasy points. If your team perform poorly in real life, you earned less than when they perform brilliantly, as you are the manager of your virtual team. Other managers compete with you for most points acquired at the end of the season, day or week, depending on the kind of sports team you're managing. You and other managers have the job of tactically analyzing player data, fitness, make transfers, subs, rotate squad players just to earn more than others.
