Fantasy football: how the game works
Pick 15 players from any club or national team Futbaly covers, on a €100m budget. They score from their real matches every week, in every competition, and a goal in a stronger league is worth more.
Your squad
- 15 players: 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 forwards, from any club or national team the game covers.
- Budget €100m, and at most 3 players from one club. Goalkeepers cost least, then defenders, midfielders and forwards; prices are set each week from what players actually do.
- A starting XI and a bench of 4. The XI must have 1 goalkeeper, 3 to 5 defenders, 2 to 5 midfielders and 1 to 3 forwards. A starter who does not play is replaced by the first bench player who did, in your bench order, as long as the XI stays legal.
- Captain and vice-captain. Your captain scores double. If the captain does not play, the vice-captain scores double instead.
Deadline and transfers
- The week runs Monday to Sunday (UTC). The squad you save during a week plays from the next Monday: the deadline is Monday 00:00 UTC, shown in your own time in the app.
- 2 free transfers a week. Until your first week starts, changes are free. After that, each transfer beyond the 2 free ones costs 4 points, and you can make at most 5 a week.
- 2 Wildcards a season, one in each half (August to December, January to July). A Wildcard makes that week’s transfers free and unlimited.

League weights
As with Europe's Golden Shoe, a goal in a stronger league is worth more: a match's points are multiplied by its competition's weight, then rounded.
| Weight | Competitions |
|---|---|
| × 1 | Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Champions League, World Cup, Euro, Nations League and other national-team football |
| × 0.75 | Eredivisie, Primeira Liga, Süper Lig, Scottish Premiership, Championship, Europa League, Conference League |
| × 0.5 | MLS, Saudi Pro League and every other league |
A forward’s goal is 4 points in the Premier League, 3 in the Eredivisie (4 × 0.75) and 2 in MLS (4 × 0.5), before the captain doubles it.
