This document provides an overview of the Fantasy Football Manager game format. Unlike conventional Fantasy Football, points are split into attack and defense categories. Attack points come from goals and assists by players, while defense points come from goals conceded by goalkeepers and defenders. A player's total score is calculated by multiplying their attack points by their opponent's defense points. Scores are then matched to point targets that determine how many goals a team has scored. The match day spreadsheet shows players' stats, points, total scores, goals scored, and future point targets.
