Build Your Team
Select 15 players within your budget: 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders, and 3 forwards. Choose wisely to balance star players with consistent performers.
Set Your Formation
From your 15-player squad, select 11 starters in a valid formation (e.g., 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 5-3-2). The remaining 4 players will be on your bench as substitutes.
Choose Captain & Vice-Captain
Pick a captain whose points will be doubled and a vice-captain who will become captain if your original captain doesn’t play.
Join Leagues
Compete against friends by joining or creating private leagues, or test your skills against global players in public leagues and tournaments.
Manage Your Team Weekly
Make transfers, change your lineup, and adjust your strategy before each gameweek deadline based on fixtures, form, and injuries.
Advanced Strategies
Budget Management
Managing your budget effectively is crucial. Consider these tips:
- Balance expensive star players with budget-friendly options
- Monitor player price changes – buy rising players and sell falling ones
- Don’t spend too much on your bench players
- Set aside funds for mid-season transfers when key players emerge
Fixture Analysis
Study upcoming fixtures to maximize your team’s potential:
- Target players with favorable upcoming fixtures
- Avoid players facing top defensive teams
- Consider “fixture swings” when planning transfers
- Pay attention to teams playing twice in a gameweek (“double gameweeks”)
Form vs. Fixtures
Balance these two key factors when selecting players:
- In-form players can score against any opposition
- Quality players with good fixtures are the ideal combination
- Consider team form, not just individual player form
- Don’t ignore consistently high performers just because of tough fixtures
Special Chips
Use your special chips strategically throughout the season:
- Wildcard: Reset your entire squad without penalty
- Triple Captain: Triple your captain’s points for one gameweek
- Bench Boost: Count points from all bench players for one gameweek
- Free Hit: Make unlimited transfers for one gameweek only

To ensure fair play, all managers must adhere to the following rules:
- One team per person
- No use of automated tools or scripts
- No creating multiple accounts
- No manipulation of the transfer market
- Players must be at least 18 years old to participate
