How to Play
Everything you need to know before picking your squad
1
Pick 3 Premier League players
Choose any three Premier League players — forwards, midfielders, defenders, even goalkeepers.
Their league goals scored during the season are all that matters.
2
Target 21 combined goals
Add up your three players' goals at the end of the season. The closer to 21, the better.
Under 21? You could still win if everyone else is further away.
!
Don't go bust
If your combined total reaches 22 or more,
you're eliminated. If you paid in, your fee stays in The Pot for everyone else.
★
All 3 players must score RULE
Even if your total is a perfect 21 — if any of your three players finishes the
season without scoring a single goal, your hand is void and you cannot win.
Every player must contribute at least one goal.
5
Closest to 21 wins The Pot
At the end of the season, the player whose total is closest to 21 (with all three players
having scored) wins The Pot.
If two or more of you finish level, The Pot is split equally between you.
You can also play for free — same picks, same
leaderboard, you just aren't playing for the money.
Strategy tips
Balance your squad
A striker who scores 15 goals paired with two defenders averaging 3 each = 21.
Mix high scorers with reliable contributors.
Protect against the bust
Don't pick three prolific forwards — they might combine for 24 and eliminate you.
One creative midfielder (8-10 goals) can anchor your hand safely.
Selection is locked at season start
Once the season kicks off, your picks are final. Do your research before
the deadline — no transfers, no changes.
All 3 must score — don't forget it
Picking a defensive midfielder or a goalkeeper with very few goals is a huge
risk. Make sure every player you pick is realistically going to find the net
at least once.
Injuries & departures — your score freezes
If one of your players gets injured or leaves the Premier League mid-season,
their goal tally stays on your total — but they can't add any more.
A striker with 8 goals who ruptures their ACL in December is giving you
exactly 8, nothing more. Pick durable players, not just prolific ones.
