Score Mechanics
TopStrike rewards real football performance. When your players deliver on the pitch, you gain a share of the prize pool.
It's fantasy football for traders — fast, fair, and fully tied to live match events.
How Scoring Works
On each Matchday, players accumulate points based on real on-pitch actions.
Each Matchday prize pool is divided into fixed tiers:
10% each to Top 3 Forwards
10% each to Top 3 Midfielders
10% each to Top 3 Defenders
An additional 10% to 🌟 STAR Man (top overall scorer)
This distributes 100% of the Matchday prize pool.
Your payout depends on how many eligible cards you hold at the Matchday snapshot of players who finish in these reward positions.
For the complete breakdown of every action and its point value, see the Performance Matrix.
Eligible Cards
For a card to be eligible for Matchday rewards, it must:
Be purchased before the Matchday countdown cut-off
Be within its 30-day eligibility window
Be held at the official end-of-Matchday snapshot
Only cards meeting all three conditions are counted for reward distribution.
The Matchday snapshot occurs at 11:00 PM GMT, after all eligible matches have concluded.
Position Differences
Scoring is weighted by position to reflect each role's priorities:
Defenders earn the most for clean sheets (+10) and defensive actions
Midfielders are balanced across attack and defense
Forwards earn the most for goals (+20) with no defensive bonuses

Live Updates
Scores update in real-time as match data comes in. You'll see player scores change throughout the game as actions are recorded.
Final scores are confirmed once all eligible matches conclude. Official stat corrections may adjust final totals before prizes are distributed.
Examples
Example 1 — Midfielder finishes Top 3
You hold 4 cards. There are 10 eligible cards held at the Matchday snapshot.
Player unlocks 10% of the prize pool
You own 4/10 = 40%
Your reward = 40% of 10% = 4% of the total pool
Example 2 — Player wins STAR Man
If the same midfielder also wins STAR Man:
4% from the midfield tier
4% from the STAR Man tier
Total = 8% of the prize pool
Tiebreakers
In the event that two or more players finish level on total Matchday points, ranking priority is determined in the following order:
Goals scored
Assists
Age — the younger player ranks higher
Cup Games
For all cup competitions, extra time is included when calculating a player's score. Goals, assists, cards, and other on-pitch actions occurring during extra time count toward Matchday totals on the same scale as actions during regular time.
