POWER-UPS

Power-ups are a second axis on top of normal fantasy scoring. Your inventory carries over week to week. Deploy before matchup lock. Power-ups are not played during live games. You set them up once before lock; the engine applies effects when scores finalize.

HOW IT WORKS

Your inventory carries over week to week. Deploy from owned Power-Ups before matchup lock. Effects resolve when the week finalizes, not during live games.

1
WEEKLY

Receive weekly grants

Weekly grants add new Power-Ups to your inventory.

2
INVENTORY

Own your inventory

Your inventory carries over week to week. Unused Power-Ups stay in your inventory unless a league rule expires them.

3
PRE-LOCK

Deploy to Active Loadout

Deploy before matchup lock. Your Active Loadout is week-specific. Pick targets: your starter for boosts and shields, an opponent starter for attacks.

4
LOCK

Matchup locks

After the first kickoff, your Active Loadout cannot change. Utility cards that open waivers still follow each card's lock rules.

5
FINALIZE

Resolve at finalization

Power-ups are not played during live games. You set them up once before lock; the engine applies effects when scores finalize. Outcomes appear as fired, blocked, or wasted on the matchup timeline.

6
NEXT WEEK

Carry forward

Use them now or save them for later. Inventory persists unless your league's carryover or expiration policy removes cards.

ACTIVE LOADOUT

Your Active Loadout is week-specific. After lock, the matchup timeline shows how each deployed card resolved — sample cards below use registry names and timeline copy.

Heads up: if a player you targeted with a boost or shield did not play, the power-up is wasted — it does not transfer. Check inactive reports before lock.

STRATEGY TIPS

📦

SAVE OR SPEND

Use them now or save them for later.

⏰

DEPLOY BEFORE LOCK

Deploy before matchup lock.

🎯

STACK BOOSTS ON CEILINGS

Percentage boosts matter most on your highest-scoring starter. Target the player with the biggest projected week.

🛡

SHIELD YOUR ANCHOR

If you have a clear top scorer, rivals may attack them. A shield can turn their attack into a blocked or wasted slot.

📣

TEAM MODIFIERS = STEADY VALUE

Team-wide buffs spread value across your lineup — strong when you do not have one obvious single-target stud.

🔁

UTILITY ≠ SCORING

Utility cards like roster swaps spend inventory to open waivers; they do not add matchup points on their own.

FAQ

Your inventory carries over week to week. Unused Power-Ups stay in your inventory unless a league rule expires them. Your league may cap inventory or expire old cards — check commissioner settings.
Power-ups are not played during live games. You set them up once before lock; the engine applies effects when scores finalize.
The power-up is wasted — it does not transfer to another player and you do not get the charge back. The matchup timeline marks the slot as wasted.
Depends on your league visibility setting. You may see only the type ("Attack queued") or full detail including targets.
Your Active Loadout is week-specific. You deploy owned cards from inventory into that loadout before matchup lock; it is separate from cards you keep in inventory.
Utility cards consume a charge and redirect you to a roster action (for example a waiver swap) instead of changing matchup points. They still deploy before lock unless the card says otherwise.
Yes. Power-ups are a second axis on top of normal fantasy scoring — well-timed boosts, attacks, and shields can swing a close week after finalization.
