Budget and price
Every player has a price, and your whole squad has to fit inside your budget. Better players cost more, so the game is deciding where your money goes.
In Brasileirão Série A, your budget is 100.0.
- Price
- What a player costs to add to your squad. It comes out of your budget.
- In the bank
- The part of your budget you have not spent. Selling a player puts back what you paid for them, and signing one takes their price out.
Transfers
A transfer swaps one player in your squad for a new one. You make them between rounds, before the deadline.
In Brasileirão Série A, you get 1 free transfer each round. Each transfer past those costs 4 points from that round’s score.
- Free transfers
- How many more transfers you can make this round without losing points. It reads Unlimited when this round’s changes cost nothing.
- Each extra
- What each transfer past your free ones costs, in points. It reads Free when they cost nothing.
- Spent this round
- The points your extra transfers have cost so far this round. They come off that round’s score.
- Picked by
- How many managers had the player in their squad in the last round whose deadline has passed.
Chips
A chip is a boost you can play on one round. Each is optional and can be used once in the competition, and you can play only one per round.
Chips in Brasileirão Série A: Wildcard, Star Captain, Extra Player, Free Hit, Triple Captain, and Bench Boost.
Points
Your players earn points for what they do in real matches, such as playing, scoring, assisting and keeping a clean sheet. Cards and own goals cost points. Your score for a round adds up what your starting team earns, then takes off the cost of any extra transfers.
- Clean sheet
- A match where a player’s team concedes no goals while they are on the pitch. It counts only if they play 60 minutes or more. In Brasileirão Série A, a clean sheet earns points for Goalkeeper, Defender, and Midfielder.
Deadlines
Every round has a deadline. Until it passes you can change your team; after it, your team is set for that round and starts collecting points.
