Game Rules

A familiar Fantasy Premier League format, adapted for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Modified rules are marked.

Your Squad

  • Pick a 15-player squad within a £100m budget.
  • Positions: 2 GK, 5 DEF, 5 MID, 3 FWD.
  • Modified: Maximum 2 players per country (FPL standard is 3 per club).

Each Gameweek

  • Pick a starting XI, a captain (2× points), and a vice-captain (used if your captain doesn't play).
  • Valid formations: 1 GK + 3–5 DEF + 2–5 MID + 1–3 FWD.
  • Unlimited free transfers before the first deadline. After that, 1 free transfer per gameweek. Extra transfers cost −4 points each.

Gameweeks for the Tournament

The game runs for the whole tournament. Each round of group fixtures and each knockout round counts as a single gameweek. Admin sets each gameweek deadline before kickoff.
