Your first 10 minutes
Start a solo league or join a friend's, create your club, and set your first lineup.
Everything you need for your first session, in order. Each step takes a couple of minutes.
1. Start a league, or open an invite
On your own, choose Create league and pick Just me: every other club is run by a bot and the season starts right away. To play with friends, either create a league With friends and share its invite link, or open the link a friend sent you and sign in.
2. Create your club
In every league you create your own club: name, short name, crest, and colours. Before kickoff your club gets a place of its own. Once a season is under way it takes the place of a bot. Either way, saving your club takes you to the league home.
3. Set your first lineup
The league home asks for your first lineup. Fill your formation (or use the suggested XI) and save. That lineup carries over: every later matchday plays it until you change it, with injured or banned players covered from your bench. Transfers, tactics, and prospects can all wait until you've found your feet.
