About
Family fantasy league for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
How teams were picked
Each manager was assigned a random squad of 11 players by an algorithm — nobody had to draft or browse a player list. The same algorithm makes sure every squad is sensible: a goalkeeper, a defence, a midfield, and an attack, with values adding up to an exact budget.
- Budget: 70.0M, hit exactly. Prices are the official FIFA Fantasy ones — 3.5M (rotation keepers) up to 10.5M (Mbappé, Haaland, Kane…).
- Formation: 1 goalkeeper, 3–5 defenders, 3–5 midfielders, 1–3 forwards — totalling 11. The formation is random per squad.
- Max 2 players from one country.Stops anyone hoarding all of France's attack.
- No duplicates across managers.If Mbappé is in Tom's squad, he can't also be in Iris's.

Where the data comes from
Everything from the official FIFA Fantasy game. Squads, player prices, positions, fixtures, scores and points all come from the same game FIFA runs at play.fifa.com. A cron pulls it every few minutes during match days, so scores and points update on their schedule.
Eliminations: taken straight from FIFA — a team is shown as out exactly when FIFA marks it eliminated.
