AFC Champions League Elite
With the 2024/25 season of Asia’s premier club competition set to resume action from February 3 with the penultimate matchday in the League Stage, it’s still not too late for new players to join the game on the-AFC.com and the AFC LIVE app and win prizes, thanks to our newly introduced Redemption Leaderboard.
As a result, players who are yet to join the competition, as well as existing users, will stand even more chances of winning as the brand new leaderboard will only take into account the points earned from the AFC Champions League Elite™ Matchday 7, which kicks off in the first week of February.
So it is as good a time as any to create your dream squads featuring superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Alexander Mitrovic and Soufiane Rahimi and compete with friends, family and colleagues during the 2024/25 campaign.
How does the Redemption Leaderboard work?
The Redemption Leaderboard will provide a level playing field for the newcomers to the fantasy football game as they compete with existing players to earn rewards – meaning new and existing users will begin on zero points.
Under the new leaderboard, players will be ranked on the basis of the points accumulated from Matchday 7 onwards.
Along with Matchday 7, points collected by the players on Matchday 8 of the League Stage, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final of Asia’s premier club competition will come into play in the Redemption Leaderboard.
News users can gain access to the Redemption Leaderboard when they join and enrol in the AFC Champions League Elite Fantasy Football while existing users will automatically be added to the new leaderboard from Matchday 7.
The global leaderboard, which ranks players based on overall points earned from Matchday 1, remains unchanged.
How to earn points on the Redemption Leaderboard?
Players can assemble a 15-member virtual squad for a budget of US$100 million, which will increase to US$105 million during the Knockout Stage and then earn points based on their players' performances in the real world.
They can double the points for one player during each round by assigning them captaincy while there are also other boosters – Triple Captain, Bench Boost and Wildcard – available to maximise their point-scoring opportunities.
Points earned through these boosters will be counted towards the Redemption Leaderboard for both new and existing users.
But additional transfers made using the Make Transfer feature outside the standard game rules can result in points deducted across all leaderboards.
Points earned through the AFC Champions League Elite™ Fantasy Football Referral Program will not be included on the Redemption Leaderboard.
On top of bragging rights among your friends, family and colleagues, a total of 10 winners, those finishing in the top 10 spots on the Redemption Leaderboard, will win one TECNO Mobile Phone each.
