Score Targets and Price Changes in Sokkah Fantasy
With Gameweek 3 being the first round that price changes will happen, read on for an explainer on what score targets and price changes are, how they happen, and how to take advantage of them.

If you have played various fantasy games before, you may be familiar with concepts such as score targets, and price rises and falls. These mechanics that are present in Sokkah Fantasy have a significant impact on the game, and will likely influence your transfer strategy and team selection in a given week.
A score target for a player is an algorithm-based calculation of the score they need to achieve this week to ‘breakeven’ or retain their value. If a player scores less than the score target, their price will drop and you will lose money if you then sell them. If a player scores more than the target, their price will increase, essentially providing you with more money in your salary cap if you then sell that player.
It is important to note, that price changes will only happen after a player has appeared in three matches. Which means that Adelaide and Brisbane players will have another week before price changes need to be considered as part of their performance.
Once a player has played three matches, they will have an updated score target for every gameweek, and their price is subject to change with every appearance.
When viewing your team, flip the player card (top left) to the Stats view, and you will see ‘Tgt’ in the bottom right of the card. The number next to this is the players Price Target for the round.
This target and the associated price changes should be taken into account when considering your transfers for the week.
Common logic amongst fantasy managers is to transfer out the players with high score targets to avoid losing money, and transfer in those with negative price targets to generate extra money, especially in the early weeks of the season.
On the Players page, Managers can sort the list of available players based on their score target for the week, both highest and lowest, as shown below (sorted by lowest).
Deadline for Gameweek 3 is 7:30pm Friday, 30 October.
