Frequently Asked Questions
The most frequently asked questions will be continually added to this page. If you have a question that does not appear here please contact us.
- When do the leaderboards update?
In most cases the leaderboards will be updated by 12pm the day after any Premiership matches. In weeks when there are matches on a Tuesday and Wednesday the leaderboards will be updated with the stats from both days matches by 12pm on Thursday.
- When do I get my free transfers?
Currently, you only get one free transfer per match week, and this transfer is applied to all dreamteam accounts at 9am on Mondays. No transfers will be allocated in weeks when no Premiership matches have been played in the previous 7 days.
- Can I see the points each player scored for me on a given date?
You can - find your dreamteam in the Leaderboard by using the search facility or the page numbers at the bottom of the page. Once you find your dreamteam click on the team name and you will be taken to a screen similar to the main game screen, but you will not be able to carry out any team management tasks from here. You can view any of your previously recorded dreamteams by selecting a date from the drop down menu in the TEAM DATA column on the right. By selecting any of these dates you can see your total score for that date only and the individual points scored by each player for you on that date.
You can view the same information for any dreamteam registered in our fantasy game by clicking on a team name from the Leaderboard page.
- Why did I not get points for a given player?
Your dreamteam lineup is automatically recorded 30 minutes prior to kick-off of the first match on any given matchday (all these times can be found in our RULES page). Any further changes made to your dreamteam after these times will not be counted for matches on these dates. You can see what the recorded lineup of your dreamteam was for any matchday by clicking on your dreamteam name in the leaderboard, and then selecting the date in the TEAM DATA column on the right.
Subs do not score any points, only the first 11 of your recorded dreamteam will score points.
- Who decides on the man of the match awards?
The man of the match awards for every game can be found on our MATCH STATS page. All are selected by iDreamFootball.com and are not based on any official man of the match. We have come up with a formula based purely on statistical performance to calculate the best performing player; this formula includes statistics such as passes completed, fouls won, successful tackles and interceptions as well as goals scored, assists and yellow and red cards.
- Can I change my dreamteam name?
You can amend most of your personal details from the MY PROFILE page, although we do not allow dreamteam names to be changed. We will consider changing your dreamteam name for you only if you have originally misspelt it, or have another valid reason for doing so. Use our Contact page to submit a request for a dreamteam name change.
- How can I view my Mini League's leaderboard?
You must be logged into your account to view your Mini League leaderboard. You can then view the leaderboard by going to the MINI LEAGUES page and clicking on the Leaderboard button beside your Mini League name. You can also find your Mini League in the drop down menu on the LEADERBOARDS page.
