Everything a new manager needs to file a clean prediction — scoring lines, deadlines, the H2H challenge cap, prophecy weights, and the Clippy credit ledger. Read it once and the rest of the season runs itself.

If you'd rather jump in, head to the fixtures desk and file your first 1-X-2 — the rules are also taught in-line as you go. The full reference below is for when you want to know exactly how a number got computed.

Important

Deadlines are strict.A prediction is only counted if you save it before the match kicks off. Submit early — don’t wait until the last minute in case the site is slow or your connection drops. After kickoff, the prediction is locked.

Use score boosters

Score boosters help you earn more points or get an edge on a specific match. Use them strategically.

Double Match

Double Match doubles your points for a selected match. Every player gets one 2× per round (group-stage MD, Round of 16, etc.) as a baseline.

Earn extra 2× slots

Frequently asked questions

When do predictions lock?

A prediction locks at the match’s kickoff time. You can edit the prediction freely at any time before then.

Do I have to predict every match?

No. Predict the matches you want to. Matches you don’t predict score zero points; they don’t reduce your total. The exception is a head-to-head challenge: if you don’t submit a prediction for a matched H2H, you still pay the loss penalty.

Can I change my prophecies after I save them?

No. Prophecies are one-shot by design. Review your picks before you select Lock my prophecies.

What is the weekly Clippy limit?

You receive a small number of credits each week. Every match featuring a host nation grants one additional credit. Credits reset every Sunday.

Why does the Leaderboard total differ from My Picks?

The two views show different figures:

My Picks shows base prediction points.
Leaderboard shows the canonical total, which adds the Double Match bonus and applies head-to-head penalties and any admin adjustment.

For an itemized comparison, see the breakdown card on My Picks.

Why doesn’t the phone bottom bar show Prophecies?

The bottom bar holds the five most-used tabs: Home, Matches, Picks, H2H, and Board. To reach Prophecies or to sign out, open the menu in the top right.

Can I switch to a light theme?

The honest answer: light attracts bugs. Code bugs, that is.

If you genuinely want bright surfaces in the meantime, turn up your screen brightness or open a window. We’ll ship the toggle the moment the palette is bug-free.
