FootballDream Fantasy XI is quick to learn. In a couple of minutes you can build a team for any match, set your captain, and start competing — all free. Here is the full walkthrough.

Step 1 — Pick a match

Open the Fantasy XI page and choose any upcoming match. Each match is its own contest, and your team for that match locks at kickoff.

Step 2 — Build your XI

Pick 11 players within 100 credits. You need 1 goalkeeper, at least 3 defenders, at least 3 midfielders and at least 1 forward, with no more than 8 from one team. Tap a player to add them; the budget bar and role chips show what you still need. New to it? Tap Auto-fill for an instant legal team and adjust from there.

Step 3 — Set captain & vice-captain

Tap the C on your best attacker (2× points) and the V on your second pick (1.5× points). They must be different players.

Step 4 — Save before kickoff

Hit Save Team. You can edit your XI as many times as you like until the match kicks off, after which it locks.

Step 5 — Track your points

After the match, FootballDream scores your team automatically from real match stats and updates the per-match Fantasy leaderboard. Find all your saved teams under My Teams.
