Transfers: how it works

Smart transferring is the key to success in fantasy football.

🔒 Deadline

Transfers close 60 minutes before the first kickoff of a matchday. Make sure your squad is ready in time.

👥 Max 2 per club

You may have a maximum of 2 players from the same club in your squad. This keeps the game fair and strategic.

💰 Market value

Players are sold at their current market value — not the purchase price. You can make profit or loss on transfers.

🏦 Budget

You start with 400 million. You cannot buy if you are in the red, but you can always sell to free up budget.

Your squad

A valid squad consists of 18 to 25 players, spread across four positions:

Position Min. Max.
Goalkeeper (GK) 1 3
Defender (DEF) 3 8
Midfielder (MID) 3 9
Forward (FWD) 1 6
Total: 18–25 players

Strategic tips

🎯 Watch the fixture list

Players with easy opponents tend to score more points. Check the match calendar before transfers.

💡 Diversify your clubs

Spread your players across different clubs. That way you suffer less when one club drops out due to international breaks or injuries.

⚡ Form over name

A player in top form from a lower competition can score more points than a big name performing poorly.

Frequently asked questions

When are points updated?

Points are updated in real time as official match data becomes available. You don't have to wait until the next morning.

How many teams can I have?

By default you can create 1 team. With a Captain upgrade you may have 3 teams, with Pro 5 teams.

What if I can't buy a player?

Check your budget, the club quota (max 2 per club), whether the player is injured, and whether the transfer deadline has passed.

Can I switch competitions mid-season?

You can participate in multiple competitions at the same time, including private competitions from friends. Your squad remains the same.

What are scout tokens?

Scout tokens give you detailed player information before the transfer deadline: form, upcoming opponents and chance of playing time. They are optionally available in the shop.

What's the difference between Captain and Pro upgrade?

Captain gives you 3 teams and extra scoring options. Pro gives you 5 teams, advanced statistics and exclusive features. Both are optional purchases.
