Product update ·
After the first live week of Blind Draft, your feedback helped us make picks more reliable, outcomes clearer and battles easier to follow. Updated with this morning’s draft reveal, Battle HQ and league table improvements.
Draft Power Ups now resolve in a fixed, repeatable order when both managers use them.
We tightened how rankings and team rules work together after investigating a valid first-choice player being skipped.
Longer names now wrap cleanly in draft and battle views.
Draft outcomes now explain more clearly why a player was not selected or allocated to your team.
Undrafted players now show their scores too.
We strengthened the checks across rankings, draft Power Ups, clash priority and club and position rules.
The new reveal shows Power Ups first, animates genuine coin-flip clashes and unveils both teams side by side.
Battle HQ does less repeat loading, making completed battles quicker to revisit.
The dashboard now opens with a compact table showing Manager, Played, Points and Form, with less space beside names.
Earlier update · 7 September 2026 · Blind Draft launch
There is no live draft room and no fixed time when everyone must be online. Any time before the Gameweek deadline, privately choose ten players from the draft pool and rank them from first choice to tenth.
Pick exactly ten candidates, arrange them in your preferred order and lock when you are happy.
Your one private list is resolved separately against each upcoming league opponent, so the five you receive can differ by matchup.
The higher-ranked claim normally wins. Equal priorities use a deterministic coin flip, while team-safety and any active draft Power Up can change a contested outcome.
At the deadline, both managers receive legal teams with no shared player. Refreshing the page cannot reroll the result.
Also shipped through Gameweek 3
Manager Scout is the other major addition in this update, joined by current-club transfer fixes, Battle HQ improvements and Quick Match.
Learn how your rivals play from their completed battles—without exposing anyone’s current plans.
Players who move between Premier League clubs are now mapped to their current club correctly.
Upcoming, live and completed battles now sit in a clearer Gameweek journey.
Managers without a private league can still enter the GW4 Blind Draft and receive a head-to-head battle.
