HOW TO PLAY
Master the game of Football Blackjack and compete for glory
Football Blackjack combines Fantasy Premier League with the classic card game Blackjack. Your goal is simple: select 4 Premier League players whose combined goals equal exactly 21 over a set number of matches.
Just like in Blackjack, getting exactly 21 is the ultimate win, staying under 21 keeps you in the game, but going over 21 means you bust and lose!
Step-by-Step Guide
Select Your 4 Players
Choose any 4 Premier League players from any team. You can pick forwards, midfielders, defenders, or even goalkeepers. Mix and match to create your perfect squad.
Set Your Game Term
Decide how many matches to track (default is 12 games). This is your window to reach exactly 21 goals. Shorter terms are riskier but more exciting!
Track Goals in Real-Time
Watch as your players score goals in actual Premier League matches. Every goal counts toward your total of 21. Check your dashboard to see live updates and progress.
Win or Bust
Hit exactly 21 for Blackjack and maximum points! Stay under 21 to compete for the win. Go over 21 and you bust - game over!
Win Conditions
Blackjack (21 Goals)
The ultimate achievement! Score exactly 21 goals and you win with the highest possible rank. This is the perfect game and puts you at the top of the leaderboard.
Win (Under 21)
If you finish with less than 21 goals, you're still in the game! The player closest to 21 without going over wins. Higher scores beat lower scores.
Bust (Over 21)
If your players score more than 21 goals combined, you bust and automatically lose. Your game ends immediately and you rank below all non-busted players.
