After seven fixtures—two knockouts, four semi-finals, and one final—the top TEN managers with the highest accumulated points will receive rewards.

Everything you need to know about the ISL Fantasy Playoffs League:

Squad Selection

Fantasy managers will have a 100 Cr budget and must select a squad of 15 players from the playoff-qualified teams. The squad must include:

  • Two Goalkeepers
  • Five Defenders
  • Five Midfielders
  • Three Forwards

During the knockout round, managers can pick a maximum of FIVE players from a single club. This limit increases to SIX during the semi-finals and up to EIGHT for the final.

Transfers

  • Unlimited free transfers will be available until the knockout round begins.
  • Five free transfers will be allowed before the first leg of the first semi-final.
  • Three free transfers will be available before the second leg of the first semi-final.
  • Five free transfers will be available before the final.
  • Any additional transfers beyond the free limit at any stage will result in a 4-point deduction per transfer.

Scoring System and Captaincy

  • Scoring rules and captaincy mechanics remain unchanged from the league phase.
  • Players from eliminated teams will stay in your squad but will score 0 points.
  • The same point system applies to extra time.
  • Players will not earn fantasy points for performances in a penalty shootout.

Chips

Fantasy managers can use two chips during the playoffs: Bench Boost and Triple Captain.

  • Bench Boost: Includes the points of all bench players in the total round score. This chip can be used once during the playoffs and cannot be revoked once activated.
  • Triple Captain: Triples the captain’s points instead of doubling them for one round. It can be used once and cannot be cancelled after activation.

Prizes

The top ten point scorers at the end of the playoff stage will receive rewards.
