You don't play.
Your teams do.
Benched deals you a portfolio of Premier League sides — some good, some hopeless. Then you sit down and watch the season happen to you.
Two modes · free · no draft night required
Three steps. That's it.
How it worksJoin a pool
Your mate sends a code. You add your name — the host starts things whenever everyone's in.
Pick a mode
One deal for the whole season, or fresh teams every gameweek with wildcards. The host chooses when they create the pool.
Follow the table
Your teams play, you don't. Points land every gameweek. Complain loudly in the group chat.
Pick your suffering
Two modesOne deal. Whole season.
Twenty clubs ranked and dealt out in bands sized to your pool, so everyone gets a mix from every tier. Fixed from day one — whatever's left over sits with the house.
2–10 players · set and forget
Fresh teams. Every week.
No fixed portfolio — everyone gets two random teams each gameweek, capped so no club comes up more than four times a season. Three wildcards give you a say in the chaos.
Any number of players · a new problem weekly
Both are free, both start whenever your host is ready, and both can start mid-season — pick a gameweek and Benched fills in whatever you missed. Full rules for both.
Somebody has to take the leftovers.
Teams get ranked top to bottom and dealt out in bands sized to the pool — six players means bands of six, so everyone gets one club from every tier. Twenty teams, six players: everyone gets three, and the last two go to the house.
The house isn't a player. It just piles up points nobody can claim. Quit mid-season and your teams move across to it — future points only. Whatever you'd already earned stays on your name.

Three cards. Spend them wisely.
One of each, once a season, spent whenever you like before that gameweek's first kickoff. Double your own points, send a rival to zero, or reroll your two teams for a fresh random pair.
A victim can only be zeroed three times, ever — after that they're untouchable. And if two people zero the same person in the same week, it still only counts once against them, though both attackers still spend their own card either way.
Three seats, one bench, no substitutions. It's a pool for people who watch football, not people who think they could manage it.
