1UP — winter 26/27 key art

> LIVE · EVERY SECOND COUNTS

Saturday afternoon is the whole game. Your eleven is scattered across every match on the card, so points stream in from all of them at once — a tackle here, a save there, a goal that doubles because he's your captain. Your coupon reads land as the results come in, and your legends score off their own clubs. One number, climbing.

    THE EXCHANGE

    A transfer market that moves

    Every Premier League player carries a price that rises and falls on real form. Buy early, sell into a run, and read the Price Pilot's forecast band before the rest of the market does.

    YOUR OFFICE

    A room, not a menu

    Home isn't a nav bar. It's the gaffer's office — the window onto the pitch, the team sheet on the clipboard, the slips on the desk, the diary by the lamp. Every glowing pip is a way in.

    • Eight ways in, all on real objects
    • The pitch window is live on matchday

    > DRAUMA · COLLECT LEGENDS

    A second team, made of everyone who came before

    Alongside your XI of today's players you build a deck of pixel legend cards — 207 of them across the whole history of the English game: the players, the nights, the records, the arguments. Field five each week and they score off what their clubs do this season.

    YOU EARN THEM, YOU DON'T BUY THEM

    There is no card shop. A card arrives when something real happens in your week — a player of yours catches fire, a brave call comes in, you beat your own par — so a collection is a record of a season, not a receipt.

    FIELD FIVE, PICK A TALISMAN

    Your DRAUMA is a dream team of five. They score off their own club's real result, by position: strikers off goals, defenders off clean sheets. One of them wears the Talisman and scores ×1.5.

    MOMENTS ECHO

    A card isn't only a player. It's a night, a record, a duo. When the same kind of thing happens again this season, your card fires a bonus — and collecting a full set pays an echo of its own.

    TWO DREAM TEAMS

    You run two sides at once. Your XI is built from today's Premier League players and scores live from real stats — every tackle, pass and goal. Your legends are the cards you've collected, each tied to a real club, and they score whenever that club wins this season. Both feed one Manager Rating.

    COLLECT LEGENDS

    You don't buy legends — you earn them by playing well: sharp calls, big weeks, milestones. The rarer the version — peak Henry at Arsenal vs a fringe season — the more it scores. And moment cards echo: your bicycle-kick card fires a bonus when someone scores an overhead this week. New cards drop all season — everything you do from day one counts toward the next pack.

    > WHAT YOU'RE SIGNING UP FOR

    One season as a Premier League manager, played in four beats a week. No stake, no shop — the only currency is how well you read the football.

    August to May, thirty-eight rounds, chapters and milestones along the way — and a champion in spring.

    > POWERED BY MATH · ENHANCED BY AI

    Under the arcade skin runs a serious engine. The numbers decide who wins — the AI makes the season come alive.

    POWERED BY MATH

    Thousands of live touches a match — passes, tackles, xG, duels, saves — run through a position-aware model, calibrated over a full season, that turns real performance into fair points. Skill decides, not luck — and your XI, your coupon and your legends all feed one rating.

    ENHANCED BY AI

    An AI studio brings it alive — live match recaps, manager rivalries, and legends that "echo" when history repeats this season. The math decides the table; the AI tells the story.
