Firstly, while Dream Team gaffers should take all elements of the scoring system into consideration when selecting their XI ahead of the new season, there’s no need to overcomplicate things if you're not keen on stats.
Primarily, you want your strikers and midfielders to get goals and assists, and you want your goalkeeper and defenders to keep clean sheets – that's the classic formula for a reason.
Here’s the full breakdown of how points are gained and lost:
All Players
Goal+5 points
Assist+2 points
Appearance (0-59 minutes)+1 point
Appearance (60+ minutes)+1 point
Shot on target+1 point
Big chance created+1 point
Successful tackles+1 point per two
Yellow card-1 point
Red card-3 points
Penalty miss-3 points
Own goal-2 points
Goalkeepers & Defenders Only
Clean sheet (minimum 60 minutes played)+5 points
Each goal conceded over one goal-1 point
Goalkeepers Only
Saves+1 point per two
Penalty save+3 points
This is mostly self explanatory but it’s worth expanding on a few aspects, particularly those unfamiliar to experienced Dream Team bosses.
