PLL Weekly Fantasy is Live – Here’s how to play
By Brenden Coleman | May 17, 2024
Where to play
You can play in the PLL APP or on the website. In the app head to the Weekly Fantasy tab and start picking. There's plenty of time between now and the start of the season to tamper with your team over and over again - your 83rd edit is probably a winner.
Your Fantasy Team
You pick weekly
There's nothing worse than having to crawl your way our of the bottom because you didn't have the perfect draft. With Weekly Fantasy, you may make questionable choices, but they aren't stuck with you all season. You can continue to ride with the same players each week - if they don't become too expensive and put you over the salary cap.
Salary Cap
The combined salaries of the players on your team has to be under the total salary cap. That means a player can have different salaries week over week. Each player’s salary is based on their expected performance compared to other players in the same position group. There are a bunch of strategies, but if you can find those players in the lower salary range that far outperform... you'll be setting yourself up really well.
Number of Players
You will need to fill your team fully with players based on the allotted positions. During the regular season, your team needs to consist of 2 Attack, 2 Midfield, 1 Defense (D, LSM, SSDM), 1 Goalie, and 1 Faceoff player for a total of 7 players.
You can select players throughout the weekend as long as their games haven’t started. So if you see a player gets hurt in the first game of their double header and you chose their second game, you can switch them with another player that hasn’t played yet.
Player Salaries
New player salaries get released the Tuesday before the upcoming weekend. Salaries are based on expected value relative to the player’s position group, previous performance, and some other secret sauce our PLL Stats team cooked up.
