First 11

Can you predict the manager's starting eleven?

First 11 is a free football prediction game built on one addictive question: name the exact XI a team will start — before kickoff — and get scored against the real lineup when it's confirmed. +3 points for every player you call right.

It's not fantasy football and it's not a tactics board. There's nothing to drag, design, or export. One team, one gameweek, one prediction — read the rotation, trust your gut, and see how close you got to the manager's mind.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick a real fixture and one of the two teams.
2. Predict their starting 11 and name your captain.
3. Lock in before kickoff.
4. The moment the official lineup drops — about an hour before the match — your prediction is scored automatically. Then your players keep scoring on how they actually play.

SCORING WITH REAL DEPTH
• +3 for every correct player.
• A perfect 11 is only the start — after kickoff you earn performance points for goals, assists and clean sheets, with your captain's doubled.
• Harder-to-predict teams carry a difficulty multiplier, calibrated from real squad-rotation data across thousands of matches. Back a heavy rotator and get it right, and you're rewarded for the risk.
• Call a rarely-starting player correctly and pocket a bonus most people miss.
