The Manager's Playbook.
Welcome to the definitive breakdown of the XI Royale arena. Learn how to navigate game modes, leverage net scoring dynamics, and turn your Fantasy Premier League IQ into real-world returns.
How the arena operates.
Direct Team Synchronization
XI Royale transforms your active Fantasy Premier League (FPL) squad into a competitive asset. We link directly to your public FPL Manager ID and ingest your gameweek scores natively from the official Premier League API.
Deterministic Automated Scoring
What your squad registers on the official FPL app is what you register in XI Royale. Transfer point penalties (hits) are automatically factored in via our strict Net Points protocol to maintain mathematical parity.
T-20 Lockout Protocol
All competition entries lock precisely 20 minutes before the official Premier League deadline of each gameweek. Once locked, stakes are escrowed into automated settlement pools and lineups cannot be modified or withdrawn.
Mastering the competition formats.
Different formats test different aspects of your management capability — from single-fixture sprints to multi-week endurance ladders.
1v1 Head-to-Head Duels
Pure head-to-head combat. You versus one rival manager for a single gameweek. The manager with the highest net score upon official FPL data finalization takes the entire pot. In the event of an exact points tie, stakes are automatically refunded to both wallets.
The Throuple (3-Player Sprint)
A triangular test of tactical risk. First place doubles their investment, second place secures a full stake refund, and third place takes nothing. Designed for calculated managers seeking higher probability outcomes.
The Cage Match
A grueling multi-gameweek marathon for 4 to 10 players. The winner is determined by cumulative net points across three consecutive gameweeks. Tests transfer planning, chip timing, and rotation resilience across a month of Premier League fixtures.
Last Man Standing
A large-scale survival ladder where the bottom scoring bracket is eliminated at the conclusion of every gameweek. Consistency over ceiling. Outlast the weekly cull until you are the final surviving manager to take the grand prize pool.
Autonomous Private Hubs.
No More Unpaid WhatsApp Bets
Eliminate the headache of chasing colleagues or friends for unpaid mini-league stakes in May. XI Royale provides an autonomous escrow protocol for your existing group chat.
Automated M-Pesa Liquidity
Every participant deposits directly via Safaricom M-Pesa into a secure smart pot. When the gameweek concludes, our system calculates verified standings and distributes payouts directly into winners' wallets in real time.
Custom Rules & Multipliers
Hub creators set the terms: choose between single gameweek sprints, monthly cumulative cups, or full season leagues with winner-takes-all or tiered podium splits.
