BOTOLATEAM:
the essential rules.

Your squad and budget

Your squad has 15 players: 11 starters and 4 substitutes. Your initial virtual budget is 100 million MAD. You may select at most 3 players from one club; positions and formations must follow the game’s permitted options.

Captain and vice-captain

Your captain’s points are doubled. Choose a vice-captain and set your bench order too. Substitution rules depend on players’ participation and positions.

Matchday deadline

The deadline is scheduled one hour before the matchday’s first match, based on the available calendar. The time shown in the game is your reference; check it, especially if fixtures change.

Transfers and player prices

Changes are unlimited before your first matchday deadline. After that, you receive one free transfer per matchday, with no carry-over. Each additional incoming player costs 4 points unless a tactical chip cancels the fee. Always review the summary before confirming. Player prices can change during the season.

How points are calculated

Points depend on sporting performances received: playing time, goals, assists, defensive statistics, saves and disciplinary sanctions. Scoring varies by position. The full in-game rules explain the values and special cases.

Provisional results and corrections

Scores can change during matches. Finalisation depends on data availability and validation. Corrected statistics can trigger a recalculation. Postponed fixtures follow their assigned matchday in the game.

Tactical chips and detailed rules

Before using a bonus or tactical chip, read its effect and conditions in the app. This overview covers the main principles; the full game rules explain substitutions, bonuses and special situations.

Example: understanding transfer deductions

After your first matchday, and without a special tactical chip, one transfer per matchday is free. If you make two transfers in one matchday, the second costs 4 points. Three transfers cost 8 points in total. Check the in-game summary before confirming.

Budget and deductions are different: a player’s virtual price helps you build your squad, while any transfer deductions reduce your score. Player prices may vary during the season.

Example: the captain’s role

If your captain earns 6 points before the multiplier, their captain total is 12 points. Negative points are doubled too. Prepare a vice-captain for the situations defined in the full rules; check those conditions in the game.
