DiskiZone Fantasy Rules & Scoring
Everything you need to know about how points are calculated
Your squad consists of 15 players:
- 2 Goalkeepers
- 5 Defenders
- 5 Midfielders
- 3 Forwards
Each gameweek, you select 11 starting players with 4 substitutes on the bench.
Budget: You have R100m to spend on your squad. Player prices change based on performance and transfers.
Team Limit: Maximum 3 players from any single team.
Each gameweek you must select a Captain (C) and a Vice-Captain (VC) from your starting 11.
| Role | Points Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Captain | 2x points |
| Vice-Captain | 2x points (only if captain doesn't play) |
Example
If your captain scores 10 points, they will receive 20 points. If your captain doesn't play and your vice-captain scores 8 points, they receive 16 points (8 x 2).| Minutes Played | Points |
|---|---|
| 60+ minutes | +2 |
| 1-59 minutes | +1 |
| 0 minutes (unused sub) | 0 |
Goals Scored
| Position | Points per Goal |
|---|---|
| Goalkeeper | +10 |
| Defender | +6 |
| Midfielder | +5 |
| Forward | +4 |
Assists
| Position | Points per Assist |
|---|---|
| Goalkeeper | +5 |
| All other positions | +3 |
A clean sheet is awarded when a player's team does not concede a goal while they are on the pitch. Players must play at least 60 minutes to earn clean sheet points.
| Position | Clean Sheet Points |
|---|---|
| Goalkeeper | +5 |
| Defender | +4 |
| Midfielder | +1 |
| Forward | 0 |
| Event | Points |
|---|---|
| Yellow Card | -1 |
| Red Card (direct) | -3 |
| Red Card (2nd yellow) | -2 (two yellows only) |
| Own Goal | -2 |
| Penalty Missed | -2 |
| Penalty Conceded | -2 |
Note on Double Yellows
If a player receives two yellow cards resulting in a red, they will lose -2 points total (not -5). The red card penalty is not applied on top of the yellow cards.| Achievement | Bonus Points |
|---|---|
| Brace (exactly 2 goals) | +2 |
| Hat-trick (3+ goals) | +5 |
| Winning Goal (80+ min, from a tie, opponent scored) | +2 |
| Penalty Save (Goalkeeper) | +5 |
Winning Goal Explained
The winning goal bonus is awarded for a clutch late goal that breaks a tie in the 80th minute or later, where the opponent has also scored. The goal must put the winning team ahead from a tied position. For example, in a 2-1 win where the go-ahead goal was scored at 85', that player receives the bonus. Clean sheet wins (e.g. 2-0, 3-0) never receive this bonus.Additional points are awarded based on detailed match statistics:
Goalkeeper Specific
| Stat | Points |
|---|---|
| Every 3 Saves | +1 |
| Every 2 Goals Conceded (60+ mins) | -1 |
Defensive Stats
| Stat | Points |
|---|---|
| Every 4 Tackles | +1 |
| Every 3 Interceptions | +1 |
| Every 2 Blocks | +1 |
| Every 5 Duels Won | +1 |
Attacking Stats
| Stat | Points |
|---|---|
| Every 3 Key Passes | +1 |
| Every 3 Successful Dribbles | +1 |
| Every 3 Shots on Target | +1 |
| Penalty Won | +2 |
Discipline Stats
| Stat | Points |
|---|---|
| Every 4 Fouls Drawn | +1 |
| Every 4 Fouls Committed | -1 |
The Bonus Points System (BPS) is a performance ranking system that rewards the best players in each match. It calculates a hidden "BPS Score" for every player using weighted match statistics. The top 3 performers in each match receive bonus points:
| Rank | Bonus Points |
|---|---|
| 1st Place (Highest BPS Score) | +3 |
| 2nd Place | +2 |
| 3rd Place | +1 |
Important: BPS is a Ranking System
The BPS Score is not added to your fantasy points directly. It's only used to rank players within each match. A goalkeeper with 45 BPS and a striker with 50 BPS in the same match means the striker gets 3 bonus points and the goalkeeper gets 2 - regardless of how high or low the actual scores are.How BPS Scores Are Calculated
Each action on the pitch contributes to a player's BPS Score. Actions are weighted by position to ensure fair comparison between goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards.
Base Points for Playing
| Minutes Played | BPS Score |
|---|---|
| 1-59 minutes | +3 |
| 60+ minutes | +6 |
Goals & Assists (Position-Weighted)
Goals are worth more for defenders and goalkeepers (rare events) and less for forwards (expected from them).
| Action | GK | DEF | MID | FWD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goal Scored | +15 | +12 | +10 | +8 |
| Assist | +8 | +8 | +8 | +8 |
Clean Sheets (60+ minutes required)
| Action | GK | DEF | MID | FWD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clean Sheet | +12 | +10 | +3 | 0 |
Defensive Actions
Defenders receive higher BPS for defensive contributions.
| Action | GK | DEF | MID | FWD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tackle Won | +1 | +2 | +1.5 | +1 |
| Interception | +1 | +2 | +1.5 | +1 |
| Block | +2 | +2 | +1.5 | +1 |
| Duel Won | +0.5 | +0.5 | +0.5 | +0.5 |
Goalkeeper Specific
| Action | BPS Score |
|---|---|
| Save | +3 |
| Penalty Save | +12 |
Attacking & Creative Actions
| Action | GK | DEF | MID | FWD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Key Pass | +2 | +2 | +2 | +2 |
| Shot on Target | +1 | +1.5 | +1.5 | +1 |
| Successful Dribble | +1 | +1 | +1.5 | +1.5 |
| Penalty Won | +4 | +4 | +4 | +4 |
| Foul Drawn | +0.5 | +0.5 | +0.5 | +0.5 |
Pass Accuracy Bonus (minimum 30 passes)
| Accuracy | GK | DEF | MID | FWD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 80-89% | +3 | +3 | +4 | +3 |
| 90%+ | +5 | +5 | +6 | +5 |
Negative Actions (Reduce BPS Score)
| Action | GK | DEF | MID | FWD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goal Conceded | -3 | -3 | -1 | 0 |
| Own Goal | -8 | -8 | -8 | -8 |
| Yellow Card | -4 | -4 | -4 | -4 |
| Red Card | -10 | -10 | -10 | -10 |
| Penalty Missed | -8 | -8 | -8 | -8 |
| Penalty Conceded | -4 | -5 | -4 | -3 |
| Foul Committed | -0.5 | -0.5 | -0.5 | -0.5 |
| Offside | -0.5 | -0.5 | -0.5 | -0.5 |
| Shot off Target | -0.5 | -0.5 | -0.5 | -0.5 |
Handling Ties
When players have the same BPS Score, bonus points are shared:
- Two players tied for 1st: Both receive 3 bonus points, next player gets 1 point
- Three players tied for 1st: All three receive 3 bonus points
- Two players tied for 2nd: Both receive 2 bonus points, no 3rd place awarded
- Two players tied for 3rd: Both receive 1 bonus point
BPS Example: Match Scenario
Orlando Pirates 2-1 Kaizer Chiefs
| Player | Position | Key Stats | BPS Score | Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Striker A | FWD | 2 goals, 1 assist, 3 shots on target | 6 + 16 + 8 + 3 = 33 | +3 |
| Midfielder B | MID | 1 goal, 2 key passes, 4 tackles, 85% pass accuracy | 6 + 10 + 4 + 6 + 4 = 30 | +2 |
| Goalkeeper C | GK | Clean sheet, 6 saves, 1 goal conceded | 6 + 12 + 18 - 3 = 33 | +3 (tied) |
In this example, the Striker and Goalkeeper are tied with 33 BPS, so both receive 3 bonus points. The Midfielder gets 1 bonus point.
Why Position-Weighted BPS?
Traditional "points per minute" systems unfairly favour attacking players who score goals. Our position-weighted BPS ensures:
- Goalkeepers can compete by making saves and keeping clean sheets
- Defenders are rewarded for tackles, interceptions, and blocks
- Midfielders benefit from creative actions like key passes and dribbles
- Forwards still score well for goals, but don't automatically dominate

The Sangoma Score is a composite rating (0-100) that predicts how likely a player is to score big in the upcoming gameweek. Think of it as your personal fantasy advisor — the DiskiZone Sangoma reads the signs so you don't have to.
How It's Calculated
The Sangoma Score combines four key factors:
| Factor | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Form | 40% | Average points per match over the last 5 gameweeks — the most important indicator of current performance |
| Recent Performance | 25% | Points scored in the last gameweek — rewards players who are hitting form right now |
| Season Consistency | 20% | Total season points — reliable performers who deliver week in, week out |
| Fixture Difficulty | 15% | Based on the upcoming opponent's strength (FDR rating) — an easy fixture boosts the score |
Score Tiers
Each player's Sangoma Score falls into one of five tiers:
| Icon | Tier | Score | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🔥 | On Fire | 55 - 100 | Top form, easy fixture — a must-have pick. Captain material. |
| ⚡ | Electric | 38 - 54 | Strong pick with high potential — expect a good return. |
| 👀 | One to Watch | 22 - 37 | Decent option with solid form — keep an eye on this one. |
| 🥶 | Cold | 10 - 21 | Poor form or tough fixture ahead — consider alternatives. |
| 🧊 | Frozen | 0 - 9 | Bad form and tough fixture — avoid unless you have no other option. |
