How to play

One player. One goal. One shot all season.

Every gameweek you back a single player to score. If they find the net, you bank the goals. Then you can't pick them again for the season.

5 minutes a week Goals only No repeat picks £100 to the winner

The basics

Three things to know

1

Back a goalscorer

Each gameweek, pick one player you fancy to score... or BAG ;)

2

Bank the goals

Every goal they score that gameweek is a point. No goal, no points, no harm done.

3

Burn the name

Once you've used a player they're gone for the rest of the season. Pick wisely.

Worked example

Three gameweeks in

1 goal = 1 point. That's the whole scoring system.

  • GW1 Haaland 1 goal 1 total
  • GW2 Palmer Blank 1 total
  • GW3 Saka 2 goals 3 total

Haaland, Palmer and Saka are now off limits for the rest of the season.

Timing

Making your pick

  1. The window opens

    As soon as the previous gameweek's deadline passes, the next round of picks unlocks.

  2. Change your mind freely

    Locked in early? You can still swap your pick as many times as you like before the deadline.

  3. Deadline

    Picks lock 15 minutes before the first fixture of the gameweek kicks off.

Edge

Tips from the terraces

🌟

Save your aces

Hold the elite strikers back for the weeks they've got a soft fixture.

🔥

Chase form

A hot player against a leaky defence beats a big name having a quiet month.

👀

Read the room

Injuries, suspensions and rotation risk will ruin a good pick before kick-off.

Good to know

The small print

Own goals don't count.

Assists, clean sheets and bonus points are irrelevant. Goals only.

Double gameweek? Both of your player's matches count.

Miss a week and you score nothing, but you're straight back in the next one.

Prize

What you're playing for

£100

The player top of the overall standings when the season ends takes £100 in cash. Entry is completely free, there's nothing to stake and nothing to buy.

Free to enter. No entry fee, no stake, no purchase of any kind.

Paid by bank transfer within 28 days of the final gameweek being settled.

One prize per person. Private leagues are just for bragging rights.

Accounts found cheating or running duplicates forfeit the prize.

Under 18?

You're welcome to play, but cash can only be paid to someone aged 18 or over. If the winner is under 18, a parent or guardian needs to confirm they're happy for you to claim, and the £100 goes to their bank account. We'll ask for that confirmation before paying anything out, and we may ask any winner to confirm their age and identity first. See the terms for the full detail.

Tiebreakers

If players finish level

Tied on points at the end of the season? These are applied in order.

  1. 1

    Most goals scored

    Whoever has the most goals across the season wins the tiebreak.

  2. 2

    Most correct picks

    Still tied? It goes down to correct picks. 20 goals from 20 picks is more impressive that 20 goals from 15 picks.

  3. 3

    Most one picks

    Still tied? It goes down to the amount of picks where you were the only player to pick that scorer.

  4. 4

    Split the prize

    Still tied after all three? The prize is split evenly between the tied players.

One pick, one goal hunt, no repeats.

That's genuinely all there is to it.
