Each round locks 30 minutes before its earliest kickoff, for every match in that round. After that nobody can change anything. The countdown on your matchday shows the time left.
An exact score is worth 15 points; the right result (home win, draw or away win) is worth 5. Matches are scored on the result after 90 minutes plus stoppage time: extra time and penalties do not count. Points appear once the result is official, usually within a minute or two of full time.
Points come only from the official result as reported by our data provider. If the provider corrects a score, your points are recalculated automatically. Check your points history on your profile: every award lists your pick and the final score. If it still looks wrong, open a ticket with the match.
A postponed, cancelled or abandoned match scores nothing either way, and a Banker on it costs nothing. If it is rescheduled and played, your pick still counts.
Mark one match per round as your Banker. Right: its points are tripled. Wrong: minus 5. A postponed match costs nothing. The half-time bonus is never tripled.
Once a season per competition, play the Oracle on an open round. If at least 80% of your results in that round are right, the round's match points are doubled; below 80% the round scores zero. You can move or remove it until that round locks.
At the end of a competition's season, your single worst round is dropped automatically if it was negative. There is nothing to play.
Extras are optional picks on each match: total goals or corners over/under, both teams to score, more possession (+5 each), a goalscorer (+10) and a booked player (+8). Once a round, the MOTM prophecy names the player you think will be the top-rated player in their match: right, and your round's match points grow by half. A player who never gets on the pitch is void, with no points lost. Which extras appear depends on the match data available for the competition.
On a match in play in a competition you play, call a goal or a card in the next 15 minutes, or who scores next. Windows are in match minutes and start two minutes after the live feed's minute, because the feed runs a little behind the pictures. One open call of each kind per match, up to 12 calls a match.
Drag the teams into your predicted final order. After each round you get 10 points for every team in its exact place and 3 for one place out, using your latest version saved before that round's deadline. The season lock is your top three and bottom three, open until the halfway round; each trio named exactly, in any order, is worth 100 at the end of the season.
You play up to 2 leagues and 3 cup competitions at once, so the matchday stays manageable. Change them any time on your profile; picks you have already made stay.
A syndicate is a private league with its own table and chat. Join with a code from a member. You can be in up to 5 syndicates at once, and a syndicate holds up to 50 managers. Only members can see anything about it.
Opt your syndicate in to take on others week by week, Monday to Monday. Each side's captain is last week's top scorer; the captain with more points that week wins, and the members' average breaks a tie. Ranked wars are paired every Monday within your tier; after six weeks the top quarter of a tier moves up and the bottom quarter down.
No. Arcade games earn Manager XP for your level and title, up to 150 XP a day, but never leaderboard points.

Only your handle (or your first name and last initial if you have not picked one), your points and your badges. Your email address is never shown to other players.
In the app (and as a push notification, if you turned push on): a reminder 3 hours before a round locks while you still have picks to make, your points when a round is done, and syndicate and rival news. By email: at most one deadline email a day, about a day before your next lock, only when picks are missing; and a weekly recap once the last match of your week is done, with your points, the round-ups and what is coming up. Turn any of them off under Notifications, or with the unsubscribe link in any email.
A suspended account can still sign in and read, but cannot make picks, chat or join syndicates until the suspension ends. The reason is shown at the top of every page. If you think it is a mistake, open a ticket.
