How it works

LEAGUES is a game of strategy played throughout the English Premier League (EPL) season.

What knowledge of football do I need?

In short, very little, which makes LEAGUES widely accessible to all. To play the game, all you need to know is that the EPL contains 20 football teams who each play each other twice during the season. Consequently, the season, which runs from August to May, has 38 rounds with each round consisting of 10 matches. That’s all you need to know. 🙂

So how does the game work?

For each round of EPL matches, you select just one team who you think will do well in their match. If your selected team wins their match, you receive 3 points; if they draw you get 1 point; and if they lose you receive no points. At the end of the season, whoever has the most points is crowned League Champion. It’s that simple!

Is it really that simple?

Well there are one or two things you need to be aware of: For example, in each half of the season (19 rounds each), you cannot select the same team twice, and you are limited to the number of times you can play the same opposing EPL team. All is explained in the rules that you will have access to once you register.

So what’s the goal of the game?

The ultimate goal of this game is to have fun with people you know and be crowned League Champion. But there are many other awards to be claimed along the way including Manager of the Month, and Golden Boot and Gloves.
