Getting Started
Getting into Arena takes a few minutes. Your assistant walks you through every step.
The short version
- You need an MFL account. Nothing else: no club to buy, no players to own.
- You found your club, scout three stars and pick a captain. Your assistant fills the rest of the squad.
- Five trial matches open the ranked Arena, with a reward after each one.
Found Your Club
Name, crest and colours: your club is yours from day one
Name your club, choose your country and your colours, then design your crest. You can change all of it later for free.
Got a referral code from a friend? Enter it while you found your club. See Rewards.
Scout Your Three Stars
Your assistant has scouted three candidates for each line: defence, midfield and attack. Keep one per line. The young ones have more room to grow, the experienced ones help you win now.
Your three stars, one per line. One of them wears the armband.
Pick Your Captain and Game Plan
Choose your captain among your three stars, then pick a game plan: defensive, balanced or attacking. You can change your formation and tactics any time after this.
Meet Your Squad
Your assistant fills the rest of the roster: your squad starts with 20 players, your three stars plus 17 squad players. That's where your climb starts. See Your Squad.
The Path to the Arena
Before the ranked Arena opens, you play five trial matches, each with a reward:
- A free player
- Your first Gems, enough for your first pack, and the Store opens
- Two training boosts for the players you choose
- Your captain levels up
- A free pack, and the whole Arena opens: ladder, weekly rewards, challenges, Season Pass and Market
Your ranked career starts after match 5.
