# What happens if a talent does not post or compete during a week?

**1. No Posts / No Competitions**

* If an athlete does not generate any social activity or participate in events during a gameweek, their score for that week will be **zero**.
* If the athlete loses followers, their score can even become **negative**, which will affect your lineup total.
* Your lineup still calculates total points using the other active talents.

**2. Effect on Bonuses**

* Bonuses tied to card multiples, force, or experience still apply, but only active talents contribute points.
* Multiple cards of an inactive talent will not generate additional bonus points for that week.

**3. Strategic Considerations**

* Diversify your lineup across athletes who are consistently active to reduce the impact of inactivity.
* Autoplay (Monday → Wednesday) can help select your best-performing cards early in the week, maximizing your score even if a talent later becomes inactive.

**4. Long-Term Inactivity**

* If a talent consistently does not post or compete over multiple weeks, Peaxel may flag them, and they could be removed from the platform to maintain fair gameplay.

**Tip:** Monitor your athletes’ upcoming events and social activity to minimize zero or negative scoring weeks and keep your lineup competitive.
