Gameweek Rules
Fantasy Scoring
Squad Lock
Fantasy uses an 11-monster squad: 1 GK plus one valid formation (3-3-4, 3-4-3, 3-5-2, 4-2-4, 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-5-1, 5-2-3, 5-3-2, 5-4-1). Once the gameweek deadline passes, that submitted squad is locked for scoring.
Base Score
A monster's base score comes from the connected real football performance for that gameweek. Goals, assists, saves, clean sheets, bonus, cards, minutes, and overall form drive the score.
Chemistry Bonus
Fantasy chemistry can add up to +3 points, but only if that monster played and did not blank. A monster with no minutes does not get chemistry early.
| Rarity | Fantasy Multiplier | Blank Penalty | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 1.00x | 0 | Base rarity |
| Rare | 1.10x | -1 | Better weekly upside |
| Epic | 1.25x | -2 | Strong fantasy multiplier |
| Legendary | 1.50x | -3 | High reward, higher blank risk |
| Mythical | 2.00x | -4 | Elite monster tier |
| Iconic | 2.00x | -4 | Legend tier with elite battle value |
Blank Rules
A blank only happens when the real player appears and scores 3 base points or fewer. If a player gets 0 minutes, it is not a blank. When a blank happens, the final score is the base score minus the rarity penalty. Multipliers and chemistry are skipped.
Example: a Legendary with 2 base points blanks. Final score is 2 - 3 = -1. The 1.5x rarity multiplier and any EVO multiplier do not apply.

How Chips Resolve
EVO chips are single use. If the condition succeeds, the monster gets a pending EVO claim after the gameweek resolves. The user must manually claim the evolution in Squad.
If the condition fails, the chip is consumed. If the monster is removed, sold, listed, or deposited before the deadline, the chip returns unused. After the deadline, chips lock to that gameweek and resolve naturally.
Evolved monsters can devolve after repeated blanks. Higher EVO levels and high rarities have more pressure, so powerful cards are exciting but not free.
| Chip | EVO Window | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Rookie Spark | EVO 0 to 1 | 4+ points |
| Sub In | EVO 0 to 1 | Comes off the bench and plays |
| First Touch | EVO 0 to 1 | MID/FWD goal, assist, or 5+ points |
| Clean Start | EVO 0 to 1 | GK/DEF clean sheet over 60+ minutes |

Battle Rules
Battle Modes
Defenders
Defenders block direct shots at the goalkeeper. They cannot attack, but they force the opponent to clear the defensive line before shooting at the GK.
Midfielders
Midfielders unlock forwards. They can attack monsters, but take return damage. If they shoot the goalkeeper, they deal damage and then die.
Forwards
Forwards have rush, so they can attack the turn they are played. They can attack defenders and shoot the goalkeeper without taking damage.
Goalkeepers
Each goalkeeper has a team-based power with a stamina cost shown on the GK. GK EVO levels add base health and leveling improves the power.
Battle Loadout
A standard battle loadout uses 1 GK, 10 outfield monsters in a valid formation, 5 selected skills, 5 random outfield subs, one Captain, and one Vice Captain.
The Captain revives once after its first death. The Vice Captain buffs skills while the VC is alive on the board.
Battle uses stamina. Most matches start at 1 stamina and grow by turn. A 45 second timer forces the next turn, and time wasting damages the goalkeeper.
Shield, Stealth, Chemistry
Golden shield blocks the first damage instance from an attack or damaging skill, then breaks. The monster takes no damage from that blocked hit.
Stealth prevents targeted attacks and single-target skills until that monster attacks. Wide board damage and row damage can still hit stealth monsters.
Battle chemistry checks teammates on the same side of the board. Club and country links can grant single, double, or triple chemistry boosts to attack and HP.
Campaign
A 20-level manager ladder with increasing AI difficulty and rewards.
Cup Run
A roguelite run where GK health and board state can carry forward.
European Nights
A harder Cup-style mode unlocked after beating the original Cup Run.
Ranked PvP
Live manager matches that feed weekly battle standings and rewards.
