HOW TO PLAY

  • Each slot deals a real Premier League club-season and a position. Name a player who played there.
  • The best player in that pool scores 10. Everyone else scores by how close they came, from 1 to 9.
  • Forwards: league goals. Midfielders: goals x 3 + apps. Defenders and keepers: apps.
  • Played for the club that season in another position: 0. Didn't play for them: 0. Pass: 0.
  • One re-deal per team. The paid hint shows a player worth 7+, and that slot then scores 7 at most.
  • Daily: the same draft for everyone, one go. Unlimited: a new draft every time you go again.

How to play

How Perfect XI works

Build a Premier League XI in a 4-4-2, one slot at a time. Each slot deals a real club, a season and a position: Everton, 2004/05, midfielder, say. Name a player who played there that season. There's no list to pick from, so you need to know who was at the club, and who was best.

The best player in that pool scores 10. Everyone else scores by how close they came, from 1 to 9. Forwards are judged on league goals, midfielders on goals x 3 plus appearances, and defenders and keepers on appearances. Someone who played for the club that season in another position scores 0, and so does someone who never played for them. Eleven 10s is 110/110: a Perfect XI.

Every slot tells you how big its pool is ("14 midfielders played for Everton in 2004/05"). You get one re-deal per team for the deal you don't fancy. The paid hint shows a player worth 7 or more, and that slot then scores 7 at most.

FAQ

What's the difference between Daily and Unlimited?

The daily draft is the same for everyone, dealt at Medium, and you get one go. Signed in, it goes on the leaderboards. Unlimited deals a fresh draft every time you go again: Easy is the last 8 seasons and the top 8 clubs, Medium is 2010/11 on, and Hard is every season from 2002/03.

How is a player's position decided?

By where he mostly played that season. A full-back who spent the year in midfield counts as a midfielder for that club-season.

Do cup goals count?

No. Goals and appearances are Premier League games only, so a good FA Cup run won't help anyone.

Can I name the same player twice?

Yes. If he was the best at two of your deals, he can fill both slots.
