Rules
How to play and how each competition awards points.
How Bundesliga works
The season is split into gameweeks: a batch of real matches, usually about a week. Before each gameweek’s deadline you set your team, and once the matches are played you collect points.
Pick players and earn points from their performances to move up your league’s table.
Your squad
15 players, 11 of them in your starting team, bought with a budget of 100. You can pick at most 3 from any one real team.
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeeper | 2 |
| Defender | 5 |
| Midfielder | 5 |
| Forward | 3 |
How players earn points
Every player in your team earns points from what they do in real matches. The values differ by position.

Captain
Each round you name a captain: their points are multiplied by 2. You also name a vice-captain, who takes over automatically if your captain doesn’t play. One exception: if you change your team after the deadline, while the round is being played, the vice-captain swap is switched off for that round.
Transfers
- You get one free transfer each round.
- Unused transfers carry over. You can have up to 3 free transfers available next round, including that round’s allowance.
- Each transfer beyond those costs 4 points.
- Before the first deadline, transfers are unlimited and free.
Chips
A chip is a boost you can play on one round. Each is optional, and each can be used once in the competition.
- WildcardRebuild your whole squad in one round without paying for transfers. Once played, it cannot be taken back.
- Star CaptainYour highest-scoring starter becomes your captain automatically for that round.
- Extra PlayerAdd one extra player to your squad for a single round. The pick is free: it costs no budget and does not count toward the limit per real team.
- Free HitRebuild your whole squad for a single round without paying for transfers. Your previous squad returns the round after. Once played, it cannot be taken back.
- Triple CaptainYour captain’s points are multiplied by 3 instead of 2 for one round.
- Bench BoostEvery player on your bench scores points for one round too. Because everyone is already scoring, automatic substitutions are skipped that round.
