Draft it. Manage it. Rule it.

Dynasty Draft is a football management game where your squad comes out of card packs. You take over a non-league club with a handful of packs, a thin squad and a long way to go. Win promotion, earn more packs and build a dynasty that can win the Premier League.

How it works

  • Open packs to build your team. Players come in five rarities, from Common to Legendary. Each has a full set of technical, mental, physical and goalkeeping attributes, a best position and a potential rating.
  • Stay under the squad cap. Better players cost more squad points, and the cap changes as you move up the divisions. Stacking Legendries isn't enough, so you have to decide where to spend your points.
  • Climb the pyramid. Start in the National League North or South and work up through League Two, League One and the Championship to the Premier League. Get relegated from National League North or South and your run is over.
  • Run the matchday. Set your shape, choose roles in and out of possession, then play the match or simulate it. Cup ties that end level go to extra time and penalties.
  • Look after your players. Training, fatigue, injuries, player familiarity and ageing all affect your squad, and you'll need depth to cope.
  • Play the full calendar. Each season has league fixtures and cup competitions, and the league table, history and your packs earned are all tracked.
  • Pick your start. Choose Standard, Commons Only or Lean Start, and set AI difficulty to easy, normal or hard.
