| 🧤 Goalkeepers | 3       |
| 🛡️ Defenders  | 6       |

There is **no Coach** position in Private Leagues.

Each squad also includes:

* **4 players on the bench (1G-1D-1M-1A)**

Each team can appoint a Captain.

Before the competition starts, the League Administrator chooses which multiplier will be applied to the Captain's Fantasy Points.

The available options are:

The selected multiplier is applied to the Captain's Fantasy Points according to the league settings.
