Each round rolls a random country and era. Pick one player from that draw to fill a position on your pitch. After 11 rounds your XI is complete. Then simulate an 8-match tournament — 3 group games, Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarter-final, Semi-final, Final — and see how far your team goes.

Can you draft Pelé, Maradona, and Messi in the same team?

Yes — if the daily draw rolls Brazil 1970s, Argentina 1980s, and Argentina 2010s you can pick Pelé, Maradona, and Messi for the same XI. The cross-era draft is specifically designed to spark these all-time dream-team debates.
