How It Works
Collect football cards. Build a club. Beat the world. Predict on real matches. Everything below is live in the app today — packs, Manager Mode with a full career, tactics deck, captains, an AI newspaper, ranked battles, and on-chain Solana escrow for predictions.
From a wallet to a champion
Sign in & link your wallet
Create an account with email, then link your Phantom wallet by signing a one-time message. We never request your seed phrase. Your wallet is your card vault — every card is owned against that wallet address.
Open packs to collect players
Buy packs with SOL. Each pack drops a random set of player cards with weighted rarities (Common · Rare · Epic · Legendary, plus 11 Icon legends). Cards stack in your collection and album.
Build your manager squad
Enter Manager Mode, found your club, pick a stadium name and kit colours, then drag your best cards into a starting XI. Formation, chemistry, fitness, position fit, captaincy and bench depth all matter.
Climb from Bronze to Immortal
Win Ranked battles to earn Rank Points (RP), promote through 9 divisions, and chase weekly leaderboards. Win or lose, every match shifts your hidden ratings.
A full console-style command centre
Squad Builder
Drag cards into the pitch grid. Live team rating updates as you swap. You see attack, midfield, defense, goalkeeping, chemistry, and bench depth — plus a Hidden Ratings panel that shows every modifier the matchmaker actually feeds the simulator (morale, fitness, formation, captain bonus, coach confidence).
Captain bonus
One starter wears the armband. Captains give +1 to a stat the matchmaker reads (Epic & Legendary captains give the strongest swing). Pick wrong and you trade a stat away.
Chemistry & formation
Same-nation and same-club links light up green pips between players. Strong chemistry boosts your effective team rating by up to ~10%. Formation bonuses add another ±8–12% depending on your tactical setup.
Fitness, injuries & suspensions
Cards drain fitness from every match. Heavy minutes risk injury (random per-match roll, weighted by fitness). Reds carry suspensions across matches. Rest cards rotate back to 100%.
Tactics Deck
Pre-match you draft tactical cards (high press, low block, counter, park-the-bus, etc). Each card flips probabilities mid-match — possession, big chances, fouls, even weather mitigation.
Coach confidence
On a winning streak your coach hits hot form (+1 to a random stat). On a losing streak (-1) for as long as the slump runs. It's randomised per streak so two identical squads on identical streaks behave differently.
Five ways to play
Career Campaign
Twelve chapters. Seventy-two fixtures. Each chapter has five Phantom XI matches before the boss battle. Earn up to 3 stars per stage. Tactical card drops, daily career objectives, and chapter leaderboards. Press conferences set the tone — choose your tone, get a stat swing.
Ranked Battle
Live matchmaking against another manager near your division. Win/lose moves your RP. The matchmaker uses the same hidden ratings you see in Squad Builder, so what you see is what gets matched.
Friendlies
Invite-only matches against friends with no RP at stake. Test tactics, try captain choices, train new cards without burning a Ranked attempt.
On-chain Predictions
Stake SOL on real-world fixtures. Escrow is on-chain, every transaction is visible on a Solana explorer, payouts settle automatically after the result is recorded.
Card Duels
1v1 stake-your-card mode. Both players ante up a card, the duel resolves, winner takes both. No house cut on the card itself.
The Solini Times — daily AI newspaper
Every day the Manager Hub renders a real newspaper front page generated by AI from live data — biggest division climber, ugliest losing streak, top scorer of the day, manager spotlight, biggest upset. Headlines rotate on a ticker. The full edition lives at /manager/news with deeper stories and an archive. It refreshes once per UTC day and is unique to your division and recent activity.
Cards, packs, marketplace, duels
Packs · exact pull odds
Classic: 55% Common · 30% Rare · 13% Epic · 2% Legendary. Silver: 45% / 33% / 20% / 2%. Gold: 23% / 50% / 20% / 7%. Plus a flat 0.01% ICON pull per pack from a separate 11-legend hand-numbered pool. Every roll is server-seeded and logged. Plus a free daily Common card from Lv 1 — tiers upgrade at Lv 10/20/30/40/50.
Marketplace
List cards for sale in SOL. The marketplace is escrow-secured — funds release to the seller when the buyer claims the card.
Duels
Stake a card against another player's card. The duel engine compares ratings + rarity + a small RNG element. Winner walks away with both.
Leaderboards
Five live boards — XP, legendary count, nations completed, ranked manager RP, and career stars. Weekly resets where they apply.
Daily & weekly engagement
Daily missions
Open packs, add new cards, win a duel. Hit all four and a bonus card drops. Free.
Weekly Manager objectives
Play 5 matches, win 3 ranked games, score 10 goals, keep 2 clean sheets. Each rewards small XP. Resets Monday 00:00 UTC.
Streaks & prestige
Daily login streaks unlock pack tiers. Hit Level 50 to prestige — permanent +25% XP boost.
Solana escrow, in plain English
Predictions and duels that involve SOL never sit in a black box. The escrow wallet is public, the address is the same across every fixture, and you can inspect every transaction on any Solana explorer. Solini holds zero custody of cards or SOL you haven't actively staked.
Wallet signatures, always
Trades, withdrawals, mission claims that grant cards — anything that mutates ownership requires a wallet signature in Phantom. We can't act on your behalf.
Transparent escrow
Predict on a match → SOL goes to the public escrow address shown in Phantom before you approve. After settlement, winning wallets get paid from the same address. Losing stakes fund the next pool.
Verifiable randomness
Pack roll seeds and duel RNG are logged server-side. Every pack purchase you've ever made is visible on your profile.
