Game Rules Manual
Official regulations governing drafts, transfers, and league runs.
1. Roster Recruitment Limits
Managers have a hard cap budget of £100.0M. Your 15-player squad must comprise exactly:
- 2 Goalkeepers
- 5 Defenders
- 5 Midfielders
- 3 Forwards
- Maximum 3 players from any single Premier League club.
2. Deadlines and Timing
- All squad lineups, transfers, and chips must be confirmed 90 minutes before kickoff of the first match of the gameweek.
- Deadlines are strictly locked based on server timestamps.
- Decisions are final and cannot be rolled back by emergency support.
3. Automatic Substitutions
If a starting player plays 0 minutes, the platform will automatically substitute them with a bench asset:
- Substitutions are processed at the end of the gameweek.
- The substitution must produce a valid formation (e.g. at least 3 active defenders remaining).
- Bench players substitute based on the priority order you assign on your bench (1 to 3).
4. Roster Chips Detail Breakdown
Chips allow managers to temporarily alter team rules. Only **one chip can be activated per gameweek**.
Wildcard Chip
Allows unlimited transfers within a single gameweek. These trades are permanent. You receive two Wildcard chips per season (one in each half).
Free Hit Chip
Allows unlimited transfers for a single gameweek only. Roster reverts to its previous configuration at the end of the gameweek.
Bench Boost Chip
Allows all 15 players (including bench assets) to score points in a single gameweek.
Triple Captain Chip
Your designated captain earns 3x points instead of 2x points in the active gameweek.
5. Player Price Fluctuation Rules
- Appreciation: Prices rise by £0.1M increments up to a max of £0.3M per week if a player has high transfer ownership trends.
- Depreciation: Prices fall by £0.1M increments if a player is sold by many managers.
- Profit Tax: A 50% tax applies on selling profits. For example, if you buy at £5.0M and sell at £5.6M, your selling value is £5.3M.
6. Fair Play & Security Audits
- Cryptographic signing of roster configurations to prevent tampering.
- IP and user-session checks to prevent multi-account collusions.
- Disqualification from all prize tiers for any automated draft scripts.
