I only play Premier League version, so English ‘soccer’. Players get £100m to buy a team of 15. Goal/defenders get points for clean sheets, midfielders for assists, strikers for goals in essence. If a player on your team scores an actual goal that weekend IRL you get points. It makes IRL games more interesting as you’re watching who’s playing, how they do. Games you wouldn’t normally care about are more interesting if you know you or a buddy has players in that team. For me it’s about the small private leagues of old friend groups, an excuse to chat and socialise. It’s good fun
