How to Play Perfect Eleven

Play in Three Steps

Spin. The wheel lands on a Premier League club (on the International side, a nation).
Pick. Take one player from that squad for an open position. Each club can be used only once, so every pick costs you the rest of that squad.
Finish your XI. Twelve spins fill eleven players and a manager. Your team gets an overall rating, chemistry rewards players who fit together, and you can post the result to the leaderboard.

What Is Perfect Eleven

Perfect Eleven turns squad-building into a game of nerve. There are no card packs and no shop. A wheel spins to a random Premier League club, you pick exactly one player from that club, and you keep going until your eleven is complete — plus a manager, so a full run is twelve spins. One player per club is the rule that makes it sing: the moment you spend Arsenal on a winger, the rest of that squad is gone. Every spin is a bet against the spins you cannot see yet.

Most of the site is free and needs no signup. The Draft Lab modes unlock with a season pass covering twelve months — not a subscription, nothing auto-renews. The current price is shown on the pass card in the game. Here is exactly what sits on each side of that line.

Every Week

Everything here is free except where marked (Season Pass). Anyone who was already making gameweek predictions or running a league before 13 September 2026 keeps that access this season.

PL Daily — one shared draft a day. Everyone in the world gets the identical twelve spins, you get one attempt, and it resets at midnight ET. Streaks are the flex.
Head to Head — send a friend a link and you both draft from the same twelve spins. Free for both of you, no account, winner takes bragging rights.
Gameweek Predictions (Season Pass) — call the exact scoreline of every match. 5 points for the exact score, 2 for the right result, and one match a week can be your Double Points pick.
Perfect Link — pick one of the gameweek’s six to score and a different one to assist. Both must deliver, or the streak resets. One entry a gameweek.
Scorer & Assister — for every fixture of the gameweek, name one player to score and one to assist from the two squads. Each fixture locks at its own kick-off, so a partial slate is fine. A scorer who scores is 3 points, an assister who assists is 2, and both in the same match adds 2. Own goals never count; penalties do.
Pick Your Team of the Week — predict the statistical XI before the gameweek. A player who makes the real XI scores 10, the bench scores 3, the Manager of the Week is 10, and your captain being Player of the Week adds 15.
Private Leagues — joining with an invite is free; starting one is part of the Season Pass. Invite up to eleven friends with a link, and your weekly Team of the Week and prediction scores build a table together.

The Draft Lab — Premium

Club Draft — the full Premier League wheel: spin a club, take one of its players, build the strongest eleven you can from twenty squads.
Positional Picker — the wheel picks the position instead, then deals you 10 candidates for it. Faster, tighter, and brutal when your last slot is a goalkeeper.
PL Legends — 300+ icons from 34 years of the Premier League, from Henry and Shearer to Haaland, with an iconic manager for every club.

Season Predictions sits between the two: building your table and awards is free, and posting it to the live board with the early-lock multiplier comes with the pass, as does reading that board.

The pass also opens the five More Boards leaderboards on the homepage: Season XI, PL Predictions, Premier League, Positional and PL Legends. The Team of the Week, PL Daily and 3 FROM 6 leaderboards stay free.

Chemistry Works Differently in Each Mode

Chemistry lifts your effective rating above the raw average of your eleven, so a well-linked side of 84s can outscore a disconnected side of 86s. What counts as a "link" depends on which wheel you are spinning — this is the single most misunderstood part of the game:

Club Draft and Positional Picker — compatriots. Because every player is already Premier League, links come from shared nationality: three Brazilians in your midfield light up, an all-English back four is a real strategy.
PL Legends — a triple link. Same club is worth 2, same nation 1, same era 1, capped at 3 per player. A Manchester United spine saturates fastest, but a same-era side drafted across clubs gets there too.
International modes (the nation drafts: Nations XI, International Tactical, International Top 50, and the World Cup archive's Classic, Tactical, Top 50, Legends) — club leagues. There every player comes from a national squad, so players who share one of the twelve major club leagues the game tracks link up instead; a player from any other league adds no chemistry.

Ratings also move with real football. Once matches are live, a striker who scores a hat-trick lifts your whole team and a defender who ships four drags it down.

The International Side

Tap 🌍 International on the homepage switch, or open the International side directly, and the wheel spins nations instead of clubs. The nation drafts live there, dealt from all 62 nations including the ones that missed the World Cup, each on its latest published call-up (or its World Cup 2026 squad where none has been published): Nations XI, one player from each nation the wheel lands on, which is free for everyone; International Tactical (Season Pass), where the wheel picks a position and deals you 10 players who play there; and International Top 50 (Season Pass), the elite footballing nations. The completed World Cup 2026 keeps its own archive drafts beside them — Classic, free like Nations XI, with Tactical, Top 50 and Legends in the pass. The International Daily is free for everyone. Challenge a mate, the nation head-to-head, is free for everyone while an international break is running and part of the pass outside one; whoever receives a challenge link plays it free either way. Every nation's roster in the game is labelled with the squad it deals. The full rules for the nation drafts and the break games are on the Nations XI page.

During international breaks (this one: 22 September to 6 October 2026, and the International side stays the homepage until the Premier League is back on 10 October), the International side also runs a free International Daily Duel: two internationals, one shirt, ten seconds to choose who starts in your World XI. It keeps its own streak, separate from the Premier League Daily Duel. The break also has its own free International Scorer & Assister: the same game as the Premier League one, played over the break's ten featured fixtures, each locking at its own kick-off and settled from the published results. And, free as well, International Break Predictions: call HOME, DRAW or AWAY in each of those ten fixtures, with an exact score if you like — 3 for the result, +2 for the score — each fixture locking at its own kick-off and settled from the published results. There is no season-long lock, so calling early earns nothing extra. The International Break XI is free too: lock the Nations XI you drafted, once per break, and each of its players earns 3 points when his nation wins and 1 for a draw, in every fixture of the break that kicks off after your lock.

The World Cup 2026 Archive

The 2026 World Cup is complete — Spain are champions — and the tournament is kept as an archive: the Perfect Bracket, the Tournament Awards and the results, with their final boards intact, plus all 48 squads as named for the tournament. It is history, not a live competition: the Perfect Bracket and the Tournament Awards are closed to new entries, and their boards are there to read. The World Cup 2026 archive page gathers all of it in one place.

Five Ways to Draft Better

Draft for the slot, not the name. A 90-rated striker is wasted in a back four, and the Positional Picker punishes mismatches hardest.

Commit to a chemistry spine early. Decide in your first three picks what you are building — a nationality core in Club Draft, a club or era core in Legends — then chase links instead of collecting unconnected stars.

Respect the deep squads. When a City or Liverpool lands early, take the player your formation needs most, because that crest is not coming back.

In PL Daily, play the spread. One attempt against everyone's identical twelve spins means a balanced eleven usually beats a top-heavy side with two weak slots.

In Team of the Week, captain the fixture, not the badge. Player of the Week is worth 15 on its own, and it usually comes from a big home win rather than the biggest name.
