PLAYER RATINGS
Points will be awarded (or lost) depending how well your Nightmares perform. If a player rates lower than 7/10, he scores 2 points per rating - so 6/10 = 2 points, 5/10 = 4 points, etc. If a player rates over 7/10 he loses 1 point per rating, so 8/10 is -1 point, 9/10 is -2, etc. A player must play quarter of the match for Player Ratings points to apply. All our 'minutes based' scoring is assumed on a 90 minute match, so in this case if a player comes on as a sub and plays the rest of the match, he needs to be shown as coming on in the 68th minute to qualify, irrespective of how many minutes injury time are played.

CAPTAIN
Your selected Captain on each Match Week earns double points. If your Captain does not play, your Vice Captain takes over. If neither play, your first substitute that plays earns double points.

NIGHTMARE ASSIST
Where a goal is conceded which is 'assisted' by a clear and obvious error by one of your Nightmares he will earn 3 points.

BAD BOY BONUS + RETRO RED
The legendary Nightmare Soccer Bad Boy Bonus awards a Nightmare player 25 bonus points. A BBB is earned when a player goes beyond the call of Nightmare duty, usually for off-the-field antics. As an example, Eric Cantona was the first ever recipient of a Bad Boy Bonus for his infamous 'kung fu kick'.

Meanwhile if a player is retrospectively punished for a 'red card offence' he will be awared a Retro Red and the 15 points that would be earned for a straight red during a match.

We do not, however, take points back off a player e.g. if a red card is subsequently rescinded.
