How to Create, Fill, and Join a League
A clear walkthrough for new users: choose the right setup, fill the league to the exact size, and avoid missing the draft window.
Exact size matters
The draft only runs when the league reaches the exact size you set.
Draft time is live
Once the scheduled moment arrives, the system auto-starts full leagues.
Reschedule window
If the league is not full, reschedule it forward or the system deletes it after 7 days.
League setup in 4 steps
Set the exact league size
Pick the precise number of managers you want. The league cannot exceed it, and the draft cannot start below it.
Choose competitions and format
Decide whether the league is domestic or international, then choose the competitions that should feed player availability and fixtures.
Set the draft date carefully
Choose a realistic time when everyone can be ready. Full leagues auto-start at that moment.
Share the code or open it publicly
Invite friends with the league code, or make the league public so others can find it on the Join page.
What to choose while creating a league
League size
Most leagues allow 6-18 users. European Club Competition leagues can go up to 20 users.
For European Club Competition leagues with 10+ users, only 10/12/14/16/18/20 are allowed.
Competition choice
Domestic leagues can combine multiple competitions for Premium users. International leagues use one competition at a time.
Choose the tournaments your player pool and fixture calendar should come from.
Draft setup
Random order lets the system shuffle the draft. Custom order lets the creator define the order in advance.
Set a draft date your full group can realistically reach, because full leagues auto-start at that exact time.
What happens at draft time
Full league at the scheduled time
The draft starts automatically and the league moves into draft mode.
Not enough users
The league switches to reschedule required and the creator must choose a later time.
No action for 7 days
The system removes the league automatically if it stays in reschedule required with no action.
How players join a league
Join with a code
Paste the league code on the Join page. This works for both private and public leagues.
Use public search
If the league is public, players can filter open leagues by size, draft window, tournament, and more.
Be in before draft time
Users must join before the scheduled draft time. If the league is full, the draft begins automatically.
Quick checklist before you press create
Use a realistic draft time for the whole group.
Set the exact league size carefully.
Share the league code early if the league is private.
If the league misses draft time, reschedule it quickly instead of waiting.
