How to Play PrizePicks Soccer & Fantasy Scoring System for World Cup

The World Cup brings out the soccer fans in everyone. And no matter what side you’re repping, on PrizePicks, users can make their real-money World Cup picks to win real money — from players, to game winners and totals, to tournament winner predictions. 

One of the most popular ways to make soccer picks on PrizePicks is by picking More or Less on player fantasy scores. 

Rather than picking More or Less on a player’s single stats — like shots or passes attempts — soccer fantasy score is a culmination of a player’s full participation in the match. 

Below, we’ll break down how the soccer fantasy scoring system works on PrizePicks for outfield players and goalkeepers — including fantasy scoring during the World Cup. 

You can also make Team Picks on PrizePicks, including match winners, spreads, and total goals, giving you even more ways to make your soccer picks throughout the World Cup.

PrizePicks Soccer Fantasy Scoring System for World Cup

For every soccer match on PrizePicks, including the World Cup, you can pick More or Less on a player’s fantasy score projection, along with other soccer stat projections across the board.

Soccer fantasy scoring works differently depending on the player’s position in the PrizePicks app. Outfield players — like attackers, midfielders, and defenders — use the Outfield Fantasy Score table. Goalkeepers use the Goalie Fantasy Score table.

That matters because a goalkeeper’s clean sheet and saves are scored differently than an attacker firing shots or a midfielder racking up passes. Defenders do not get points for a clean sheet.

PrizePicks Soccer Fantasy Scoring: FW, MID, DEF

Outfield Fantasy Score applies to athletes listed at an outfield position in the PrizePicks app, including attacker, midfielder, or defender.

Here’s how outfield players score fantasy points on PrizePicks Soccer:

Athletes who are listed at an outfield position — attacker, midfielder, or defender — will only receive Fantasy Score points from stat types included in the Outfield Fantasy Score table above.

Goals are the big swing stat here. One goal scored is worth 10 fantasy points, which can flip a Lineup fast. Assists are also valuable at 5 points.

Stats like crosses are important to track, as players who are on corner duty for their team can rack up corners fast, depending on the game.

PrizePicks Soccer Fantasy Scoring: Goalie (GK)

Goalie Fantasy Score applies to soccer players listed as a GK in their PrizePicks square.

Here’s how goalkeepers score fantasy points on PrizePicks Soccer, which is much simpler than other players.

Athletes who are listed as a goalkeeper in their PrizePicks square will only receive Fantasy Score points from stat types included in the Goalie Fantasy Score table above.

Goalkeeper fantasy score is all about match flow. A clean sheet gives a keeper 5 points, but saves are worth 2 points each, so a keeper can still have a strong fantasy score in a match where they face a ton of pressure.
