Why Rivals exists
Traditional fantasy games can ask managers to maintain a large squad over an entire season. Rivals deliberately concentrates the decision. You select five players from five clubs, reveal one set of Power Ups and face a named opponent. When the Gameweek ends, the next challenge begins with a fresh team.
The aim is to make every selection understandable and every result traceable. Battle Centre shows the players, football events, base points and Power Up contribution behind the score rather than asking someone to accept a single unexplained total.
Built around real weekly competition
Rivals uses verified football performances to calculate appearances, goals, assists, clean sheets, saves, cards and performance bonuses. Live scores can move while fixtures are being played; completed results are preserved after the Gameweek is finalised.
Private leagues add a round-robin season around those weekly battles. Fixtures, fair bye planning, tables, form and league honours are all calculated from the same locked results, while one weekly team works across every league a manager has joined.
Independent, transparent and still improving
Fantasy Battle is operated by John Tissiman as an independent UK developer. The public rules explain the complete scoring system and current Power Up set, and the updates page records meaningful product changes after release.
Feedback from early players has shaped clearer team-selection rules, live scoring, multi-league navigation and fairer bye distribution. Future improvements will continue to be documented so players can see what changed and understand whether it affects an active or completed Gameweek.
