Scoring preset

Park the Bus scoring

Clean sheets, blocks, clearances and saves. Nothing at all for goals or assists — a 0-0 is a perfect result, and the only thing a forward is worth is the work they do without the ball.

Every rule, position by position

13 rules. Values shown are the points each position actually receives.

This preset does not enable bonus points. You can turn them on when you build the league.

Who it is for

Leagues who think defending is the interesting half of football, and anyone who wants a squad where the goalkeeper is the first pick rather than the last. Everyone concedes here, not just the back line: the whole team parked the bus or nobody did.

What to change first

  • Add a small goals rule if forwards being near-worthless makes squad building trivial.
  • Limit goals conceded to defenders and keepers if punishing a striker for a defensive collapse is too much.
  • Raise the clean-sheet minutes gate above 60 for a stricter league.
  • Move saves from one per two to one each, and watch keeper prices climb.
