Building your team

Managers can pick players from all 20 Serie A clubs to build their squad.

Filters such as football club, position on the pitch, sorting by price, points, or any other player statistic will also assist with that.

Managers will have €100m to put together their squad for the start of season.

You can finalise your teams by picking a suitable team name, formation, and assigning a vice captain and captain.

Teams and formations

Teams should consist of 15 players, broken down into four positions as follows:

Three Forwards
Five Midfielders
Five Defenders
Two Goalkeepers

Team should have 11 starting players at all times, and four substitutes. Hence possible formations include:

3-4-3
3-5-2
4-3-3
4-4-2
4-5-1
5-3-2
5-4-1

Team should have a captain assigned, who will then earn double the number of points for that round.

Team should also have a vice-captain assigned, who will earn double the number of points for that round if the captain has not featured yet in the round.

Only two players from each club can be selected.

Transfers & substitutions

Before the deadline of each round, a team can be prepared using transfers or substitutions, and you also have the option to change the captain and vice-captain of your team.

Transfer rules

You will receive one free transfer before the deadline of each round:

If extra transfer(s) are completed on top of free transfer(s), then each additional transfer will deduct five points (otherwise known as a hit) from the round score after all the matches in the round are completed.
If your free transfer is not used, then it will be carried over to the next round. The maximum number of accumulated transfers is four.

After the deadline of each round, the team is locked and no more player changes are allowed during that round.

Unlimited Transfers

Before their first deadline in the game, users are entitled to make unlimited transfers. No points will be deducted for these transfers.

During the season, Wildcard option will allow users to make unlimited transfers free of charge. Managers can only use one wildcard per season.

Automatic substitutions

Substitutions occur based on the order of priority on the bench.
The player on the bench will substitute for the player on the pitch who has not featured in a match, provided that the bench player played in that match.
