Point Calculation
Point calculation is derived from a sum of all individual votes (provided by Gazzetta Dello Sport) each player obtaines during the specific week.
In the case where a player recieves an "SV" (no vote), a bench player will be selected as a substitute in his place. Each team is allowed 3 substitues following the order of the bench players (first rank as first sub).
**Substituted will only replace players in the same role. Example: A defender can only be substitued by a defender.
**In the case where the bench players also recieve an "SV" (no vote) then the player at the specific position will recieve 0 points.
In the case where the game is suspended or not played, all players in question will recieve 6 points.
