A clearer weekly journey, smarter multi-league dashboard and stronger automatic progression for every Gameweek ahead.
What changed
Built for every Gameweek ahead
These improvements build on the first Gameweek without rewriting its history. Real teams, leagues, scores and fixtures now drive the dashboard and Battle Headquarters from one round to the next.
01
Every new Gameweek is ready automatically
Selection now progresses into the next open Gameweek without being tied to a specific round.
The dashboard and Battle Headquarters always use the canonical open Selection Gameweek and its real deadline.
The previous locked Gameweek can remain available in Battle Centre while the next team is prepared.
From Gameweek 2 onwards, every team must contain five players from five different clubs.
Unavailable players are identified earlier, with a specific explanation for the position, club or squad limit.
02
A smoother team and Power Up journey
Your team remains editable until you deliberately reveal and lock the Power Up draw.
Battle Headquarters keeps Pick Team, Power Up and Battle together as one clear journey.
The main reveal and confirmation actions stay close to the top so less scrolling is needed.
Power Up reveal and lock wording is clearer, larger and easier to follow.
Full House shows each player’s minutes and highlights anyone below the 60-minute condition.
03
Multi-league dashboard and battles
Managers can now move cleanly between every league without losing their weekly team.
Dashboard and Battle Centre switching uses real leagues, opponents, fixtures and bye weeks.
Multiple live battles and upcoming fixtures are grouped into clear views and carousels.
Standings use a scrollable full table, plain Score values and up to five completed results in Form.
One weekly five-player team and Power Up continues to feed every applicable league battle.
04
Season stats and fairer progression
Finalised results now unlock useful season numbers and league bragging rights.
Average score, win rate, best score, favourite formation and current winning streak refresh after finalisation.
League honours recognise the highest weekly score, most wins and longest winning streak, including ties.
Future bye distribution is balanced more fairly across managers.
Automatic finalisation and weekly progression are more resilient once football performances settle.
Earlier update ·
Launch-night fixes
The original launch-night notes remain below as a record of the fixture, live-scoring and Battle Centre fixes delivered during Gameweek 1.
01
League fixtures you can trust
Every locked league now resolves to one clear weekly state for each manager.
Round-robin fixtures were audited and repaired so managers have one valid opponent or one genuine bye.
Odd-sized leagues allow exactly one bye in a round; even-sized leagues have none.
Battle Centre and the dashboard now agree on the selected league, opponent and bye status.
Invalid placeholder or fallback opponents can no longer appear in a real league battle.
02
A clearer Battle Centre
Battle Centre now follows the real locked teams and makes the whole league easier to explore.
Your opponent is always the manager paired with you in the selected league fixture.
Bye weeks still show your complete team and live score, alongside a clearer, friendlier bye explanation.
You can browse every other battle in your selected league without mixing in fixtures from another league.
Score tiles open the full battle, including both lineups, player points and Power Ups.
03
Live football that feels live
Player scores and match states now move throughout the game instead of waiting for full time.
Playing any minutes awards 1 point immediately, with the additional 2 points added at 60 minutes.
Clean-sheet points appear while the clean sheet is active and are removed if the team concedes.
Small indicators show whether a player is on the pitch, on the bench or has been substituted.
Battle Centre refreshes during live matches and catches up when you return to the tab.
04
Stronger live-data protection
A delayed or malformed provider record can no longer freeze the rest of a match.
Valid player updates continue even if one provider player/team record is unusable.
When detailed player statistics lag, provisional minutes follow the live match clock and substitution events.
Official provider statistics remain the final authority and can correct provisional values after the match.
Additional checks and regression tests now protect the live import and scoring path.
05
Power Ups are easier to follow
The players affected by a Power Up stay visible before, during and after their fixtures.
Affected player cards now carry the Power Up border and glow even before bonus points are earned.
Targeted Power Ups highlight the chosen player; position-based Power Ups highlight every eligible player.
The display separates a Power Up that is in play from bonus points already earned.
Power Up totals and player-level contributions continue updating with live scoring.
