Draft once
Each manager drafts an exclusive 16-player squad in snake order. That squad is yours all season.
Manage your squad
Each gameweek draws from the 16 you drafted: 1 GK, 3 DEF, 3 MID, 2 FWD and 2 FLEX (any outfield role).
Compete each gameweek
Full Season leagues play head-to-head. Guillotine leagues cut the lowest score every Gameweek until one manager remains.
Keep the squad moving
Use waivers, free agents and, in Full Season leagues, trades as injuries, form and fixtures change.
Decide the champion
Full Season: finish in the top four, or win the cup, to reach the Top Four playoffs. Guillotine: last manager standing.
Draft day hits different.
Then the season is yours.
Before the first gameweek, 4 to 12 managers draft in snake order. Each manager leaves with an exclusive 16-player squad for the season.
- ✓One draft, full season
No weekly redraft. Manage the squad you picked through every gameweek.
- ✓Live, offline, or with bots
Draft together online, import an existing board, or fill empty seats with bots until friends arrive.
Manage the squad you drafted. Claim on waivers, use free agents and, in Full Season leagues, trade when you need a shake-up. Your preseason reads matter, but so does how you run the season.
Manage the squad you drafted.
Same 16 all season.
Each gameweek draws from the squad you drafted: 1 GK · 3 DEF · 3 MID · 2 FWD · 2 FLEX. The two FLEX spots can be filled by any outfield position. Commissioners choose Manager, Super Sub or Best XI for how the Final XI is confirmed.
- Locks player by player
There is no single gameweek deadline. Each player locks when their club’s first fixture kicks off. Club-mates lock together, even in FLEX.
- Three lineup modes
Commissioners choose Manager, Super Sub or Best XI for how the Final XI is confirmed. New leagues default to Manager.
Finish in the top four.
Fight for the championship.
In Full Season leagues, finish in the top four through the league table, or win the cup to claim a playoff place. The playoff winner becomes Top Four Champion.
Cup and Top Four playoffs are optional in leagues of 6 to 12 teams. Four-team leagues use the regular-season table to decide the champion. Guillotine leagues skip cup and playoffs.

Waivers and free agents
Wanted players go on waivers first. If nobody claims them, they become instant free agents. Full Season leagues can also trade between managers.

Common questions
Short answers first. The blog has the working detail if you want to go deeper.
What is Top Four Fantasy?
Top Four Fantasy is a season-long draft game. Draft an exclusive 16-player squad, manage it all season and choose Full Season head-to-head or Guillotine survival. Same draft and scoring. Different finish.
What is Full Season vs Guillotine?
Full Season plays head-to-head, can run a cup and Top Four playoffs, and may allow trades. Guillotine cuts the lowest score each Gameweek, opens free agency on the released squad and ends when one manager remains. Guillotine has no cup, playoffs or trades.
How Guillotine leagues work in TFFHow does the draft work?
Leagues of 4 to 12 teams run one preseason snake draft. Each player can be owned by only one manager, so squads stay exclusive all season.
How to draft and prepare for draft dayHow do I manage my squad each gameweek?
Each gameweek draws from your 16: 1 GK, 3 DEF, 3 MID, 2 FWD and 2 FLEX. Players lock at their club’s first kickoff, not one shared deadline. Commissioners choose Manager, Super Sub or Best XI for how the Final XI is confirmed.
How to manage your draft fantasy squadWhat are Manager, Super Sub and Best XI?
Commissioner lineup modes. Manager scores your locked XI. Super Sub can replace 0-minute starters at Final. Best XI picks the highest-scoring legal XI from your active roster.
Manager, Super Sub or Best XI in TFFHow do the cup and Top Four playoffs work?
In Full Season leagues with playoffs on, finish in the top four to qualify. If the cup is also on, its winner takes another place. The playoff winner becomes Top Four Champion. With playoffs off, the regular-season leader is champion. Guillotine leagues skip cup and playoffs.
How the cup and playoffs work in TFFCan I change my squad mid-season?
Yes. Claim on waivers, bid in free agency, sign free agents and, in Full Season leagues, trade with league mates as injuries, form and fixtures shift.
How waivers and free agents workWhat scoring systems can leagues use?
Leagues choose Classic, Balanced or Analytics during setup. Classic follows familiar goal, assist and clean-sheet scoring. Balanced adds match actions. Analytics gives more weight to creation and defending, and less to finishing. Both formats use the same models.
How Top Four Fantasy scoring worksHow is this different from FPL?
Players are exclusive, you draft once instead of managing a salary cap, and you manage one squad all season. Full Season plays head-to-head towards the Top Four playoffs. Guillotine is survival. Scoring can reward the full match, not just goals and assists.
