How are points calculated?
You earn points based on how accurate your predictions are:
| What you get right | Points |
|---|
| Exact scoreline (e.g. you predict 2-1, it ends 2-1) | 7 pts |
| Correct winner or draw (right outcome, wrong score) | 3 pts |
| Each correct goalscorer pick | +5 pts |
| Wrong result | 0 pts |
Scorer points are always awarded — even if your score prediction was wrong.
Example: France vs Brazil, real result 2-1 France win.
Real scorers: Mbappe, Giroud (France) · Vinicius (Brazil)
| Your prediction | Result | Scorers | Total |
|---|
| 2-1 · Mbappe + Giroud · Vinicius | 7 pts exact | +5 +5 +5 | 22 pts |
| 2-1 · Mbappe + Giroud · no away scorer | 7 pts exact | +5 +5 | 17 pts |
| 2-1 · no scorers picked | 7 pts exact | 0 | 7 pts |
| 1-0 · Mbappe · Vinicius | 3 pts correct result | +5 +5 | 13 pts |
| 0-2 · Vinicius | 0 pts wrong result | +5 | 5 pts |
| 1-1 · no scorers | 0 pts wrong result | 0 | 0 pts |
When is the deadline to make a prediction?
Predictions lock automatically at kickoff. You can edit your prediction any time before the match starts — once the referee blows the whistle, your pick is final.
Can I change my prediction after saving it?
Yes — as long as the match has not started yet. Go to the Matches page and click "Edit" next to any upcoming match to update your score or goalscorer picks.
How do goalscorer picks work?
When you predict a score, you get one scorer slot per predicted goal. For example, predict 3-1 and you can pick 3 goalscorers for the home team and 1 for the away team. The same player can be selected multiple times if you think they will score twice or more. Scorer picks are optional — but each correct pick earns you +5 pts on top of your score points.
Does the order of my goalscorer picks matter?
No — the order does not matter at all. If you pick Mbappe for Goal 3 but he scores first, you still get the points. The platform simply checks whether your selected players appear in the real list of goalscorers — not which slot you put them in. For example, if you pick Giroud for Goal 1, Mbappe for Goal 2 and Vinicius for Goal 3, and the real scorers are Mbappe, Vinicius and Giroud in any order, all three picks are correct and you earn +5 pts each.
Do goals in extra time and penalty shootouts count?
Yes — with one important distinction:
For matches decided in normal time or extra time:
The exact score is based on the final score at the end of play. If a match ends 2-1 after extra time and you predicted 2-1, you earn the exact score bonus (7 pts).
For matches decided on a penalty shootout:
The score stays at the drawn result (e.g. 1-1). No exact score bonus is possible on a penalty shootout match. The correct result goes to whoever wins the shootout — predicting a draw earns 0 pts even if the score is 1-1, because there is always a winner.
Goalscorer points (+5 pts) are awarded for goals scored at any point — normal time, extra time, and penalty kicks during the shootout.
| Situation | Exact score? | Correct result? | Scorers? |
|---|
| Match ends 2-1 in 90 min | ✅ if you predicted 2-1 | ✅ if you predicted home win | ✅ |
| Match ends 2-1 after extra time | ✅ if you predicted 2-1 | ✅ if you predicted home win | ✅ |
| Match goes to penalty shootout (e.g. 1-1) | ❌ never | ✅ if you predicted the winning team | ✅ including shootout goals |
What happens in group stage draws?
In the group stage, a draw is a valid result — there is no extra time. If a match ends level, the result stands as a draw. Predicting the correct draw earns 3 pts. Predicting the exact drawn score (e.g. 1-1 and it ends 1-1) earns 7 pts.
How does the leaderboard work?
The leaderboard updates automatically after every match. Rankings are decided by total points. In case of a tie, the player with more exact scores ranks higher. Further ties are broken by number of correct results, then by who joined first.
