How do I pick my team?

To select your team to take part in the competition, you first need to register your personal details. Then, to select your players, simply highlight each of your chosen 15 in turn and click the SELECT button to include them in your team or click the button for an automated selection.


Please note that once you have selected four players from one nation, no other players from that nation will appear to be available for selection until such time that one of these players are unselected. Similarly, if you have already selected the required number of players for a position, no other players in that position will appear to be available for selection until such time that one of these players are transferred out.


You must then select one of your players as your designated kicker. This player will be the only member of your team who will earn you points by successfully kicking penalties or conversions. (All players in your team can gain points from drop goals, not just the designated kicker).


For further details on team selection and positions, please visit the How To Play section.

How many teams may I enter?

Any one user can only enter one team into the game.

How do I log on to view my team?

Firstly, click the Login link (top-right). Type your email address and password in the appropriate boxes, then press the LOGIN button. You will then be automatically forwarded to your team screen where you can view your progress and make transfers.

I have forgotten my password!

Go to the Lost Password section of the website and enter your email address to receive an email reminder.

If you fail to receive an e-mail within an hour of requesting the reminder (after checking your spam filter and junk mail folder), go to the Contact Us section to register your query. Please include your e-mail address, team name and manager name in any correspondence.

When can I make team changes or change my kicker?

Coaches are able to make unlimited transfers until the first match of the competition at 09:30 IST on Friday 9th September.

Once the competition is in progress, each coach is allocated 20 transfers in total and can use up to five transfers in any one Game Round.

Kicker changes (and team changes involving the kicker) during the tournament can only be made between the completion of the last match of a Game Round and the first scheduled kick-off time of the next
