A new fantasy football for Europe’s top-5 leagues and European cups

Create a league, build your team in the draft and face a new league rival every week

What it is

Fantasy football where every player is unique

Leagues of 4 to 32 teams with a live draft, a new opponent every week and playoffs at the end of the season

Live draft

Instead of a budget for buying the same players as everyone else, a real-time draft where every manager ends up with a unique team

A new format

A new opponent every week. The team that performs better across 9 stats — goals, passes, saves and more — wins

A league, not a leaderboard

Compete with friends in your league, sign and trade players and fight for a playoff spot
