How to Play
Everything you need to go from registration to league champion. Five essential steps.
01. Register & Set Up Your Profile
Creating an account takes under 60 seconds — no credit card, no deposit, no personal financial data required. Once in your Manager Dashboard, you can set your team name, choose a squad crest, and configure your notification preferences for gameweek deadlines and live scoring alerts.
02. Select a League Format
Browse our public global leagues or create a private room for friends and colleagues. Three formats are available: Season League (full 38-gameweek campaign), Weekly Blitz (fresh squad each matchday), and Duel Mode (head-to-head bracket competition). Each format has its own strategy and pace — pick what suits your lifestyle.
03. Draft Your 15-Man Squad
You have a £100m virtual budget to assemble your starting XI and four bench players. Your squad must include at least 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders, and 3 forwards. During live snake drafts, you have 60 seconds per pick. Think fast: Do you lock in the league's top striker early, or build balanced depth? No two squads can hold the same player in the same league.
04. Manage Transfers & the Waiver Wire
Football is volatile. Injuries, suspensions, and form collapses are inevitable. Each gameweek you receive a transfer budget to reshape your squad. The waiver wire is reset every Tuesday morning in reverse-standing order, ensuring managers at the bottom get first access to the best unclaimed players. In private leagues, commissioners can switch to a FAAB (Free Agent Acquisition Budget) system — each manager bids blindly from a £50m pot each week.
05. Track Your Points in Real Time
As matches kick off, watch your squad's performance translate into live points. Our Opta-powered engine processes every pass, tackle, shot, and interception within seconds of the event. Your live rank updates throughout each matchday, and final points are locked within 90 minutes of the last whistle. Compete, adapt, and climb the global leaderboard gameweek by gameweek.
