Rules and scoring

Everything the game does, in plain language. If a rule isn't written here, it isn't a rule.

Sheria zote ziko hapa. Hakuna siri.

Your squad

Fifteen players — 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders, 3 forwards.

KES 100M to spend. Prices are set at the start of a campaign and do not move. No overnight rises, nothing to time.

Maximum 3 players from any one club.

Start eleven, bench four. Your eleven must have exactly 1 goalkeeper, at least 3 defenders, at least 2 midfielders and at least 1 forward.

Your captain scores double. If they don't play at all, your vice-captain takes over.

Bench players come on automatically when a starter doesn't play, in the order they sit on your bench — as long as the swap leaves a legal eleven.

Your points page shows every one of these as a separate line, so you can always check the arithmetic yourself.

Deadlines and scoring

Deadlines are 90 minutes before the first match of the gameweek, shown in Nairobi time everywhere on the site.

Once the deadline passes your team is locked for that gameweek. Changes you make after it apply to the next one.

Points during matches are provisional. They are only final once bonus points are confirmed — normally by midday Nairobi time the day after the last match. We label them clearly either way.

Weekly winners are announced every Monday once the gameweek is final.

The four tables

Gameweek — that week only, resets every Friday.

Month — resets on the 1st of each month.

Campaign — Autumn is gameweeks 1 to 19, Spring is 20 to 38. Everyone returns to zero in January.

Season — all 38 gameweeks added together.

Join whenever you like. You start on zero for the season, but the gameweek and monthly tables don't care when you arrived. Ukijiunga leo, bado unaweza kushinda wiki hii.

Ties, fairness and prizes

If two managers finish level, the one who made fewer transfers is placed higher. Still level, and the manager who joined earlier is placed higher.

One account per phone number. Running several accounts is the one thing that will get you removed.

Ligii Soo is free to play. There is no entry fee and no cash prize. If prizes are added later, these rules and the tie-breaks above are what they'll be settled by.
