NEW: The 60-minute rule change
Crucial new pointscoring rules are coming into effect for SuperCoach EPL this season and could completely reshape your defensive strategy:
The 60-Minute Lockdown: If a player is substituted off after playing at least 60 minutes, their ‘goals conceded’ and ‘clean sheet’ status is locked in at the time they leave the pitch.
What this means: If the opposition scores a late goal after your defender or goalkeeper has been subbed out, it will no longer count against their fantasy score.
What’s the same: The pillars of SuperCoach EPL
While the defensive scoring gets a facelift, the core mechanics that managers love remain unchanged:
Squad Composition: Your team is arranged into a Starting 11 and 4 substitutes.
Flexible Formations: You can select from 9 different tactical formations.
The Captain’s Armband: Your designated captain scores double points. Your vice-captain will earn double points if your captain is a late withdrawal or sits out the round.
Rolling Lockout: The strategic advantage remains yours. Thanks to the rolling lockout, players may be traded, substituted, or named Captain/Vice-Captain right up until the scheduled start time of their respective team’s match.

The biggest stars of the EPL dominated the global stage in 2026. From Manchester City’s Erling Haaland going on a scoring spree for Norway, to Crystal Palace’s Daniel Munoz racking up defensive points for Colombia, it’s time to translate your SuperCoach WC26 insights into full-season success.
