HOW TO SCORE IN FULL: 10 EASY STEPS  
   
1. Players who appear in the Sun's official Dream Team list score points in Premiership only from Saturday October until the final game of the season. European games, FA Cup and League Cup games are not included.  
   
2. Three points are awarded to a player given a mark of seven or more in SunSport's individual ratings carried with match reports. A five-point bonus is awarded to their Star Man.  
   
3. Five points are awarded for a goal scored. A player scoring three or more goals per game gets five additional bonus points. A player who has been awarded points as described above will retain those points regardless of whether a goal is attributed to another player at a later date. Any player who is subsequently awarded a goal will not receive the points.  
   
4. A keeper or a defender who keeps a clean sheet scores five points. If they concede one goal, they score no points, two goals -1, three goals -2 and so on. Players not picked for any reason score 0 points for each game they miss.  
   
5. Any keeper or defender who comes on as a sub scores points for a clean sheet or loses points for conceding goals as if they had played 90 minutes.  
   
6. Any player who is booked loses a point. A player sent off loses five points in total. Any player that loses points for a booking or sending off will not have those points reinstated if the offence is rescinded on appeal.  
   
7. The season's top individual scorer earns a 20-point bonus.  
   
8. There will be ONE mid-season Transfer Windows. During this time you can swap up to three players providing you do not break any of the existing rules - making a total of six changes in total over the course of the game. The  window will be January. Details will be announced nearer the time.  
   
9. Any player transferred from one Premiership club to another continues to score points. For the purposes of the game, he stays registered with his original club. If a player leaves the Premiership, his points are frozen until such a time that he returns.  
   
10. The rules remain the same for games involving extra-time. A match that is 0-0 after 90 minutes must be 0-0 after extra-time for keepers and defenders to keep clean sheets. Penalty shootouts do not count. Replays are counted as separate games.  
   
11. You have a maximum of £45 million pounds to spend on 11 players, which must be made up of 1 goalkeeper, 4 defenders, 3 or 4 midfielders and 2 or 3 strikers.  
   
12. You can pick a maximum of 3 (three) players from any one team, but only one per position i.e. one goalkeeper, one defender and one striker, but NOT I defender and two strikers.
