Your first deck

After registration, your account will hold a starter set of Common cards. Common cards are unlimited supply and can be used to build a five-card lineup. They cannot be captained in Classic contests.

Build a lineup

Pick five cards within the salary cap. The lineup must respect your chosen formation. Submit the lineup before the captain lock window closes.

Choose a captain

The captain's score is multiplied by a tier-dependent bonus. For a first lineup, pick a Rare or Limited midfielder from a strong side. Captain a Unique only when you are confident in the fixture.

Your first matchweek

Watch the matches live in the app. Your cards score automatically. After the matchweek, the leaderboard updates and rewards are distributed. The full cycle is roughly 7 days from lineup submission to reward.

Do I need crypto to play?

Yes, for buying and selling cards. Some regions support card purchases in fiat via the platform's onramp.

Can I play with a free deck?

Yes. Common cards are free starter cards. You can field a Common-only lineup and score against other Common lineups.

What is a captain lock?

The captain must be set before the first kickoff of the matchweek. After the lock, the captain cannot be changed.
