Is Premier League XI free?

No. It is part of the season pass: one payment, twelve months, nothing auto-renews. Without a pass you can play one free preview draft a week, which cannot be posted to the board. PL Daily and Challenge a Friend use the same club wheel and are free with no signup.

Can I pick two players from the same club?

No. Each club gives you one pick, a player or its manager, and is then used up for the rest of the draft. That is why a club with several strong players at the position you still need is the best one to land on.

Premier League XI: the Premier League draft

Season pass mode · called Club Draft inside the game

Premier League XI is the full Premier League draft in Perfect Eleven. A wheel spins through all 20 clubs, you take exactly one player from the club it lands on, and you keep going until you have a starting eleven and a manager. Each club can only be used once, so spending Arsenal on a winger means the rest of that squad is gone for the whole draft. On the homepage the card is called Premier League XI; once you are drafting, the game labels the mode Club Draft. They are the same thing.

How a draft works

Choose a formation before your first pick: 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1 or 3-5-2. It locks once you place a player.
Spin. The wheel lands on one of the 20 Premier League clubs and that club’s current squad opens, each player showing his rating and what he would add to your chemistry.
Pick one player and place him. If one of his natural slots is open he goes straight in and plays at his rating. If not, but his line (defence, midfield or attack) still has an open slot, you choose where he plays out of position: a related role costs one point (a centre-back at full-back or holding midfield), anything else costs two (any outfielder in goal, for example). A player with no natural slot open and no open slot on his line is locked and cannot be picked.
Take a manager. Every club’s pick list also offers its current manager until you have one. Taking him uses up that club like a player would, so a finished side is twelve picks: eleven players and a manager.
Use your skips and swaps. You get three skips (spin again without picking) and two swaps (remove a placed player and spin to refill his slot).

Chemistry comes from compatriots

Every player in this mode already plays in the Premier League, so chemistry here comes from nationality instead. Each player earns one chemistry point for every teammate in your eleven from the same country, up to a maximum of three. Four players from one nation is the number to aim for: each of the four has three compatriots and maxes out. The catch is the one-pick-per-club rule, since a bloc only works if those players are spread across different clubs. Your manager adds roughly one more point for every six rating points above 70, current form included. Every three points of team chemistry is worth about one point on your team rating.

How your XI is scored

Your team rating is the average of your eleven players’ ratings after any position cost, plus your chemistry divided by three, rounded. A well-linked side can break 100. When the eleventh slot fills, the game projects where your side would end a 38-game season, from 1st to 20th, from that average and your chemistry, with a win-draw-loss record to match. The top four is a Champions League place, 5th and 6th the Europa League, 7th the Conference League and 18th to 20th relegation. A title-winning side strong enough goes the whole season unbeaten.

Because this is an open mode, the final whistle can bring injuries: each player has an 11% chance of a knock costing one to three points, up to three in a side. Submit your eleven with a display name and it goes on the Premier League board (PREMIER LGE, under More boards). A posted score is fixed the moment you post it.

Ratings are editorial, set player by player; the ratings methodology explains how. Since 15 September 2026 each rating also follows the player’s real Premier League form over his club’s last four league matches, by up to five points either way, updated once a day. A draft keeps the ratings of the day of its first spin, so the numbers never move under a half-built side.

A worked example

Say your eleven players average 82 after position costs. Four of them share one nationality, three share another, and the other four have no compatriot in the side. Your manager is rated 82, form included.

The four compatriots have three links each: 12 chemistry.
The three have two links each: 6.
The four with no compatriot add nothing.
The manager adds (82 − 70) ÷ 6 = 2.

Team chemistry is 20, which adds 7 to the average, so your XI posts an 89 and the result screen projects 5th, a Europa League place, before any injuries. Now replace one of the four loners with a fourth player from the second nation at the same rating. Chemistry rises to 26, the XI posts a 91 and the projection climbs to 3rd, a Champions League place. Same average, better links, two places higher.

Free or season pass

Premier League XI is part of the season pass: one payment, twelve months, nothing auto-renews. The current price is on the pass card on the homepage, and How to Play explains the main free and pass modes.

Without a pass, tapping the Premier League XI card opens the pass screen, which also offers one free preview draft a week. A preview plays the full mode, but it cannot be posted to the board.

You can also learn the same wheel for free. PL Daily runs this draft on one shared set of twelve spins a day, with no skips or swaps and one attempt, and Challenge a Friend gives you and a friend the same twelve spins to draft from. Both are free with no signup.
