Pick exactly one
Every Fantasy Battle Rivals team needs one goalkeeper. You cannot use the flexible slot for a second keeper.
How to Play
A new battle every Gameweek
Fantasy Battle Rivals is a fresh weekly fantasy challenge. Pick your team, choose your Power Up, battle another manager and score points from real football performances. When the Gameweek ends, start again with a new team.

Your team
Build a valid team
Five different clubs
From Gameweek 2 onwards, each of your five players must represent a different club.
Cover every position
Pick at least one defender, one midfielder and one forward.
Make the fifth yours
Your last place can be an extra defender, midfielder or forward.
Editable until the reveal
You can keep changing your team until you reveal your Power Ups. A warning appears first; confirming the reveal locks those players for the Gameweek.
Reveal three. Choose one.
Flip three hidden Power Ups, compare their effects and lock in one.
Football decides it
Goals, assists, clean sheets, saves and cards shape each player's score after the fixtures finish and performances are verified. Your chosen Power Up can give your team the edge.
Base player scoring
Exactly how points are earned
Each player scores according to their listed position. The flexible fifth slot does not change a player's position or scoring rules.
