Climbing the leagues

The leagues form a pyramid. From the bottom up: the district leagues, the village league, the regional league, the national league and the world league. District leagues open below the village league as more players arrive.

Groups and seasons

Each league is split into groups of 8 clubs. A season lasts 6 weeks, or 42 match days, and every club meets every other club in its group six times.

The table

A win gives 3 points and a draw 1. Clubs level on points are split by goal difference, then by goals scored.

Promotion and relegation

  • Group winners go up.
  • Second places play a two-leg playoff for a place in the league above.
  • The bottom 2 go down, except in the lowest league.

The next season starts the day after the last match. Your attributes stay, and the cap follows your club's new league.

Moving up on your own

Good matches earn reputation. With enough of it, clubs from the league above send contract offers. An offer lasts 48 hours, and accepting it counts as changing clubs.

The Rankings screen shows the whole pyramid, your group, a rating for every club, the best players and past seasons.
