Draft Mode

Build your draft

Pick a formation, a captain and complete your XI by choosing from five players per position. Then play four live matches, with decisions, shots and penalties in your hands, to become champion.

1. Set up your team

Pick a formation and tournament. Your opponents depend on the tournament: the more stars, the harder it gets.

Quick rules

  • Pick the tournament: Champions League, Libertadores, World Cup and more. You play the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-final and final.
  • First you choose a captain from 5 stars.
  • Each position gives you 5 cards: 1 elite, 2 good and 2 random.
  • Chemistry: teammates from the same club, country or league add points (max. 3 per player, 33 in total).
  • Team strength = rating + chemistry bonus + bench.
  • After the starting XI, pick 7 substitutes: you use them to make changes in live matches.

Tips for your draft

It is tempting to always pick the card with the highest rating, but a starting XI of unconnected players loses strength. Look for three links: teammates from the same club (the strongest), the same national team and the same league. Two Real Madrid players and one from LaLiga, for example, already help each other.

The captain also adds one chemistry point, so choose one thinking about which club or country you can repeat later. If you want to dig deeper, read our chemistry guide.
