How to play

From sign-up to predicting in a couple of minutes.

1. Create your account

Sign up with Google, or with an email address and password. Then pick the club you support, which puts you in a league with fellow supporters and counts towards your fanbase's ranking. Your display name and avatar are what other players see; set a colour, favourite sport and a few tags on your profile whenever you like.

2. Pick a mode & start a game

Head to Play and choose how you want to play:

• 🎯 Classic — pick your own fixtures, set the scoring, declare your scorelines.
• ⚡ Power Play — Classic plus a loadout of power-ups: double or triple a banker, shield a wild guess, go for a bullseye.

Either build a game (pick a competition, then choose fixtures from the live schedule), join someone else's with their six-character code, or grab a seat at an open game from the lobby. A game can be a one-off matchday or a whole season, won on points, accuracy or Head-to-Head (see below), and a season-long Head-to-Head game is your league.

3. Choosing your fixtures

The builder covers eleven football competitions: Premier League, Championship, Champions League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Eredivisie, Primeira Liga, Brazil and the Euros. Pick one, or choose All competitions to mix fixtures from any of them into a single accumulator-style slate.

It shows the next 30 days, filtered by default to this gameweek (the same slate the Global Leagues run on), with buttons for the next 3 days, the weekend, the month or everything. More fixtures appear as they come into range. Anything kicking off within 2 hours can't be picked, because there'd be no time to declare it.

4. Make your predictions

For every fixture, set the scoreline you think it'll finish. Tap a score to type it, or use the arrows. New picks start at 0–0, so you only change what you need to. If you've already predicted the same match in another game, one tap can autofill those scores.

Hosts choose one of two locking rules, and the game room always shows which:

• Game lock (default) — every pick freezes 2 hours before the game's first kickoff, and everyone's predictions reveal together at that moment.
• Per-fixture lock — each pick stays editable until a minute before that match, revealing at its kickoff. Better for a slate spread over weeks.

Either way, nobody can see your picks before they lock, and the database enforces it.

5. Scoring, wildcards & forfeits

Each fixture scores like this, and hosts can change every value:

• +5 — exact scoreline (you said 2–1, it finished 2–1).
• +2 — right result, wrong score (you said 2–0, it finished 3–1: still a home win).
• 0 — wrong result.
• −1 — wrong result and badly off: your goal difference is more than 3 out (the margin, not the totals: 1–1 vs 9–8 is only 1 out, but 3–0 vs 0–2 is 5 out).

The exact-score and right-result bonuses always take priority over the penalty. Wildcards double a pick's points, good or bad, and the host decides how many you each get. Hosts can also add a play-money pot and a forfeit for the loser.

6. Three ways to win

Any game that spans more than one matchday can rank its table three ways, and the host picks one when building it:

• Most points — the classic: highest total across every fixture wins.
• Best accuracy — closest scorelines win: lowest total goal error takes it.
• Head-to-Head — each round you face one other player, and outscoring them wins the tie. A win earns 3 points and a draw 1, building a won-drawn-lost league table. Everyone gets a result every round, and with odd numbers someone plays the round's average score. This is how you run a league with your mates.

In Power Play, each player also gets a loadout to spend across their picks: double or triple a score, shield a risky call, or go for a bullseye.

7. The Global Leagues

Every Premier League prediction you make, in any game, automatically counts on the global table. You don't enter it separately.

• It ranks on points, using the same scoring as every game with your gameweek wildcard doubled. Your exact scores, right results, bad misses, average goal error and winning wildcards sit alongside.
• A gameweek counts only if you predicted every match in it, which stops anyone inflating their numbers by cherry-picking easy games. Once you're in, points are added match by match as results come in.
• View it by gameweek, month or season. The monthly table starts afresh each month, so joining late doesn't rule you out.
• You get one wildcard per gameweek here. If a private game plays its wildcard on a different match, you're told which one currently carries yours and offered the swap, and your existing choice is never changed silently.
• My picks shows everything being counted for you, and flags anywhere a private game disagrees.

The Global Leagues put everyone on the same points tables. For a league of your own, build a game across the season and pick Head-to-Head.

8. Club leagues

The club you picked at sign-up puts you in a league with every other supporter of that club. There's also a fanbase table that pools every fan's predictions to rank all 20 Premier League clubs.

9. Friends, invites & chat

Add people you've played with as friends from the standings or their profile. You can then invite them straight into a game without sharing a code, or tap Invite on WhatsApp for a one-tap link. Each game has a chat thread under its standings; type @ to tag someone and they'll get a notification. Hosts can switch chat off when creating a game.

10. Watch it unfold

Scores update live as matches play out, points show against each fixture, and the table keeps a running total. We'll nudge you when a deadline is close and you still have picks to make, and tell you when a friend overtakes you or you go top. Tap any player to see their locked picks, or their avatar for their profile, stats, badges and your head-to-head record.
