How do football tournament rewards work in Free to Play?

Free to Play Football tournaments take place twice a week. If your players perform well, you can win Gold to upgrade your squad.


Which players earn tournament rewards?

Players compete against others in the same position. The highest-scoring players in each tournament earn a share of the tournament reward pool:

  • The top five defenders
  • The top five midfielders
  • The top five forwards
  • The top three goalkeepers


What is the reward pool?

The total Gold reward pool is shown in the app on the Live page.


30% of the Gold pool goes to the highest-scoring players in each position over the tournament, the remaining 70% goes to Picks.


The table below shows how the 30% player tournament allocation is divided between the rewarded positions:


Place

Defender, midfielder or forward

2nd

If there are not enough eligible players to fill every rewarded place, any unfilled rewards are not redistributed.


How do I qualify for rewards?

Simply hold shares in a player before they enter the pitch to qualify.


Your share of a placing player’s reward depends on the number of eligible shares you hold compared with the total eligible shares held by everyone in that player. Hold more shares to win bigger rewards.


How do I claim rewards?

Rewards are claimable the day after the tournament completes. Simply tap the button 'Claim rewards' and the Gold will be added to your wallet.


If you forget to claim at the tournament end, the reward will be held until you next claim. The eight most recent unclaimed tournaments are claimable; older rewards are forfeited.
