Rules
Cards come in three collectible tiers — Bronze, Silver and Gold. Tiers describe the card, not the player's ability: there are no ratings. Every card is a unique numbered copy with its own ownership history.
New managers get 32 free players to start their MatchX journey: four league starter packs, each a starting seven and a sub, for the Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two. Install the app for 4 more: pick a top performer from each league, on loan for your first four gameweeks. Then a free booster every Tuesday, and gifts on big matchdays. Free cards are yours to play with but are untradeable.
Gold Packs always contain at least 2 Gold top-flight players — sometimes 3 or 4 — with the rest Bronze or Silver. Complete a collection set to earn £10 of credit to spend on packs and build a stronger squad.
Each gameweek you pick 7 starters — 1 goalkeeper, 2 defenders, 2 midfielders and 2 attackers — and 1 substitute, who comes on if a starter doesn't play. You can line up in any of these formations:
Squads lock at the deadline and the cards you picked stay locked until the competition settles. A card can only be in one squad at a time, so choose where to play your best players.
Automatic substitutions: if a starter doesn't play, your sub comes on as long as your team still makes a valid formation (only a keeper can replace a keeper). You never need to make the change yourself.
Points come from what your players actually do. Draft scoring table (subject to approval):
Scores are provisional while matches are being played and data is checked. Once the correction window closes they become final, ranks are set and your cards unlock.
Every card shows whether its value is ▲ rising or ▼ falling, a value graph, and how you got it — Starter, Packed, or what you paid.
Each card shows an indicative value in MX, MATCHX's in-game points currency. It reflects supply, recent form, league level and eligible completed sales. Values are not cash, cannot be withdrawn or redeemed, and is not a promise of what a card could sell for.
