How matches work, who you can pick, and how points are scored.
1Choose a matchEach gameweek has matches with their own rules: which cards they take (e.g. Bronze only, free cards, a free draft), the entry (free or £) and the prize pot.See matches →
2Pick 7 + a subPick a formation, a keeper, defenders, midfielders and attackers, and a sub who comes on automatically if a starter doesn't play.
3Captain & viceYour captain scores double. If they don't play, your vice-captain takes the double instead.
4The deadlineSquads lock 10 minutes before the gameweek's first kick-off. Points come in live and are final once the data window closes.
5Paid matchesIf a match has an entry fee and you're short, the match page offers top-up bundles and brings you straight back. Withdraw before the deadline and the fee is refunded.
