How to Play
Draft a World Cup XI from real squads across 75 years of history. Pick the best player each round to build the highest-rated lineup possible.
1. The Spin
Each round, a slot machine assigns a random country and World Cup year (1950–2026). You see their real squad and pick one player into an open slot.
2. The Roster
11 rounds, one per position in your chosen formation. Pick a formation before you start — it determines how many defenders, midfielders, and forwards you need.
3. Respins
Free: 1 country re-roll and 1 year re-roll for the entire game.
Premium: Watch an ad to get a guaranteed Top 5 country (by best player) or Top 5 year. One of each per game.
4. Scoring
Era-relative ratings (60–99): Each player is rated relative to their era, so a 1958 legend competes fairly with a 2022 star.
Non-linear curve: Higher ratings are exponentially more valuable. An 88 is worth far more than two 78s.
Position bonus: Elite goalkeepers and forwards (90+) get a scoring multiplier — they're rarer and harder to draft.
Balance wins: Your score is based on all 11 starters. One weak link drags down the average. A well-rounded XI beats a team carried by a single star.

Tips
Save your respins for when you get a weak squad with no good option for your open slots.
Premium respins are most valuable early — a great first pick sets the tone for your entire XI.
You can pick any position from the squad, but it must fill an open slot in your formation.
