DraftXI vs Squadfather

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.
