DraftXI

Features
Read full description

DraftXI is the football draft game for fans who've argued about the best XI all their lives. Pick a club, pick an era, draft your squad — then see how far they go. How it works: Spin the slot machine to land on a club and era (e.g. Chelsea 2000s, Barcelona 2010s). Choose your formation, then draft one player per position from the available squad. Each player has a rating out of 99 — your squad's average determines your season finish, from relegation to Champions League glory. Game modes: • Standard Draft — full stats visible while you pick. Draft the best XI with all the info you need. • Expert Mode — all ratings hidden. Draft from memory and football knowledge alone. • Custom Draft — skip the spin and hand-pick any club and era from the full list. • Snake Draft — go head-to-head against up to 19 AI managers in a snake-format pick-em. • Season Mode — carry your XI through a multi-season career. Survive relegation, build a dynasty. • Transfer Window — swap players between seasons to strengthen your squad. • Daily Challenge — a new fixed squad to draft every day. Compete for the best score. • Global Tournament — draft your international XI and play through the knockout stages. • Historical Draft — pick from the greatest Global Tournament finalist squads in history. • Nation Sweepstake — office sweepstake mode for up to 8 managers. Snake-draft all 48 nations, then watch the tournament play out. • Blind Auction — bid for players against other managers in a live auction format. Leagues supported: Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, and SPFL. Play solo vs CPU or online with friends. Free to play. No ads. No pay-to-win.
