Step-by-step instructions on how to create a team in Hocklas

Step 1: Download the app

• To start using the Hocklas platform, first download the application to your device. To do this, go to the downloads section and download the APK file. After the file is downloaded, open the folder with it and find it in the list.
• Before installation, it is recommended to scan your device for viruses to ensure security. If the installation of files from unknown sources is disabled on the device, go to the settings and allow the installation of such files.
• After successful installation, create a shortcut to the application on the home screen for easy access. Also, make sure that your device meets the minimum system requirements for stable operation of the application.

Step 2: Create a Team

• After signing up, head to the team creation section.
• Choose a name for your team. It can be something unique or hockey-related.
• Customize the team logo and description if the platform allows.

Step 3: Choose a League Format

• Choose a league type: standard league, restricted league, or custom league.
• Decide on the league rules (e.g. number of players at each position, point format).
• Make sure the leagues fit your play style – it can be a league with real players, a league based on statistics, or a combination league.

Step 4: Evaluate Players and Develop a Strategy

• Look at the available players in the league, their stats, and their predictions.
• Develop a strategy for selecting players:
• Forwards: Generally get more points for goals and assists.
• Defenders: Also important, especially if they contribute a lot to the attack.
• Goalkeepers: Important for winning games, and bonus points are awarded for keeping clean sheets and winning games.
• Evaluate players based on their current form, injuries, and upcoming games.

Step 5: Conduct a draft

• Take part in the draft, the main stage of selecting players for your team.
• Follow your strategy and try to balance the roster to cover all positions.
• It is important to avoid being overweight in one direction (for example, too many forwards or not enough goalkeepers).
• Stick to your strategy, but be prepared for unexpected picks from other players in the league.

Step 6: Manage your team during the season

• Transfers: Constantly monitor the condition of players. If someone is injured or playing poorly, replace them with a better player.
• Trade: If your league rules allow for player exchanges, use this tool to improve your team.
• Analyze games: Monitor the results of games and adjust the roster based on the statistics.

Step 7: Use Tactics to Boost Your Scores

• Keep an eye on the game schedule and make lineup adjustments based on the importance of the games and upcoming opponents.
• Optimize starting lineups, especially when multiple players on your team are playing on the same day.
• Use bench players or freelancers to replace injured or underperforming players.

Step 8: Review and Tweak Your Lineup Every Week

• It’s important to review your team’s lineup regularly, especially before game weeks.
• Update your lineup based on news, injuries, and schedule changes.
• Monitor your players throughout the week to make adjustments before games begin.

Step 9: Win

• Keep a close eye on your team’s fantasy hockey results.
• Make lineup adjustments to stay one step ahead of your opponents.
• Use strategies, such as selecting players with high odds of winning specific games, to increase your chances of success.

Step 10: Evaluate and Review After the Season

• At the end of the season, analyze your successes and failures. Develop a new strategy for the next season based on the experience gained.
• Use the knowledge gained to improve your team in the future.
