How do I change my team name?

Account → Settings → Team name.

Is the game free?

Yes. Playing and private leagues are all free, with no ads.

Do I need to install an app?

No. You play straight from your phone or laptop, with nothing to install.

Gameplay

How many players can I take from one club?

A maximum of 3 from any single club, out of 15 players on a 100 million budget.

When does my squad lock?

One hour before the gameweek’s first kickoff. Anything you change after that counts towards the next gameweek.

What if one of my starters does not play?

A bench player comes on automatically, in the order you set. Which is why it is worth ordering your bench.

Points

How much does the captain score?

Your captain’s points are doubled. If they do not play at all, the vice-captain takes over.

What counts as a clean sheet?

The team conceding no goals, with the player on the pitch for at least 60 minutes. Worth 4 points for goalkeepers and defenders, 1 for midfielders.

How does a defender score without scoring a goal?

Two ways. A clean sheet is 4 points if he was on for 60 minutes or more. And 10 defensive actions in one match — clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles — are worth 2 more, however the match finishes. Midfielders and forwards get the same 2 at 12 actions.

What are the extra points?

The top places in every match take extra points: 3, 2 and 1. The ranking comes from what each player did in that match — goals, assists, saves, defensive work and passing all count towards it, and cards, own goals and missed chances count against it. Players level on the same rating share a place, so two tied at the top take 3 each and no 2 is paid.

What is the performance rating in match details?

It is the score that decides the extra points. Every finished match rates each player on what they did in it — goals, assists, saves, defensive work and passing push it up; cards, own goals and missed chances pull it down — and the top places take 3, 2 and 1. The number itself earns nothing on its own; it is there so you can see how the extra points were decided, and who came close.

Why did my points change after the match?

Stats are reviewed after the match, and a goal or assist is sometimes corrected. Your points adjust automatically when that happens.

Transfers

How many free transfers do I get?

One each gameweek, and if you do not use it, it rolls over up to 5 saved transfers.

What does an extra transfer cost?

4 points for each transfer beyond what you have saved. The Wildcard and Free Hit cancel that deduction.

Chips

How does the Wildcard work?

It cancels all transfer penalties for one gameweek — you can change your entire team without a −4 hit.

When should I use Triple Captain?

Your captain scores ×3 instead of ×2. Best used on a star player with an easy home fixture.

Can I play more than one chip in a gameweek?

No, one chip per gameweek. A fresh set of all four arrives at gameweek 20.

Leagues

How do I start a league with my friends?

Create a private league and send them the code — six characters — to join with.

What is the difference between classic and H2H?

Classic ranks on the points everyone scores from the gameweek the league started, and you can join or leave it whenever you like. H2H pits you against one other manager each gameweek, and it locks once its first gameweek starts — so invite everyone before then.
