FAQ
How many players do I pick?
You pick 11 players within a virtual budget that depends on your tier: 90M (Basic), 100M (Pro), or 110M (Elite). You must choose a valid formation: 1 GK, and the rest among DEF, MID, and FWD (e.g., 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-3-3).
Can I pick players from the same team?
Yes, but you can have a maximum of 3 players from any single KPL team.
What happens if my player does not play?
If a player in your squad does not feature in any match during the week, they score 0 points. There are no automatic substitutions in this version.
How is the captain bonus calculated?
Your captain earns DOUBLE points for every match. You can change your captain anytime before their match kicks off. With a Boost Captain chip (Pro/Elite only), the captain earns 4x points instead.
Is it free to play?
Yes! Bingwa Basic is completely free. You get 1 persistent team, 2 free transfers per week, and compete for season prizes. Upgrade to Pro (5 transfers/week) or Elite (8 transfers/week) for weekly prizes and more perks.
What is the Boost Captain chip?
A special power-up that gives your captain 4x points instead of 2x. Pro subscribers get 1 per month, Elite subscribers get 2. Unused chips expire at month end.
What happens if players tie for a prize?
If two or more managers tie on points for a prize position, the prize money is split equally among them. For example, if 2 managers tie for 1st place, they share the 1st and 2nd place prizes equally. The total payout never exceeds the prize pool.
