Dynasty: build a club across ten seasons

Pick your era, draft a squad of real players, and take them through ten seasons. The records catch every man at his peak, but every summer time does what time does and the legs go. Reading whether a player's best days are still ahead of him or already behind him, that's the job.

How it works

  1. Choose an era and a club. Authentic hands you a squad shaped like the real thing; Dream Draft gives you a blank sheet and lets you build it your way.
  2. Sign from packs weighted by rarity. The greats only turn up once in a blue moon, so you build with honest pros and the odd gem, same as the rest of us.
  3. Name your XI, pick your skipper, and play the season out one call at a time.
  4. Work the two windows in a market that lives and breathes. Do well and the rivals come sniffing round your best man.
  5. Everyone ages. Ten seasons on, the board takes stock of what you built and decides whether it was an era worth remembering.

In the modes that hide the ratings, your own players go dark too. Just a name, a club, a season. A big name in a poor season is a trap, and walking into it is on you. That isn't the game being unfair. That's the whole idea.
