Here is a link to the start page and the guidelines.

The Game

Putting together a squad of the best players in the World Cup finals does not come cheap, so we’ve been kind and handed you a $100 million war chest to spend. Sounds simple? In theory, yes, though in practice it’s important that you uncover the hidden gems to complement the superstar names.

You’ve got until the big kick-off on June 11 to finalise your 15-man starting squad. Until this time, any shuffling, switching or juggling of players will not impact on your transfer allocation for the group stage.

You will get 12 transfers for the group stage of the competition, and then a new allocation of eight transfers for each knockout phase of the competition. Transfers do not carry over.

Moving a player from your bench to the pitch does not cost you a transfer, it only applies to replacing a player from your squad in the transfer market. Values of players will NOT fluctuate in this game.

You must name a team captain for each gameweek and his points tally for that gameweek will be doubled. You can change this player every gameweek if you so wish.

There will be three gameweeks in the group stage, and additional gameweeks for each knockout round of the World Cup finals.

After your squad is complete, you have to find the perfect line-up for each gameweek. You must submit an 11-man team, and only these 11 players can score points towards your total. You can change your team as many times as you like before the start of a gameweek, and your team will lock when the first game of a gameweek kicks off.

Should one of your starting 11 not actually play in a gameweek, then the top-scoring player from the same position on your bench will automatically come on. Only a player from the same position on the pitch can come on. So if a defender does not play and you do not have a defender on your bench, no player will replace the inactive player.

Your team can play in any of the following formations: 5-3-2, 4-4-2, 4-5-1, 5-4-1, 3-4-3, 4-3-3, 3-5-2. Players can only play in their designated position. For example, you can’t play a defender as an attacker.

You can challenge your friends and colleagues in your own private leagues. Will you win the bragging rights? And as a mini-league creator you can challenge other mini-leagues to a duel.

Your Team

Have a look at the list of available players on the transfer market and set up your squad. It’s one squad per manager and multiple squads will be deleted.

You have a budget of $100m to set up your squad. You must have 15 players in your squad - otherwise it is invalid and won’t score points. Squads must consist of at least:

* 1 Goalkeeper
* 4 Defenders
* 4 Midfielders
* 2 Forwards

There will then be four additional squad places which must be filled as a manager wishes. Will you spend big on strikers or save budget by signing defenders? Or perhaps you will sign squad players who are cheaper for those final positions.

You can have a maximum of three players from each individual nation. This limit is raised throughout the competition as nations are knocked out: Round of 16 (4), Quarter-finals (5), semi-finals (6), 3/4 place play-off and final (8).

From your squad you select 11 players to form your starting team each gameweek. Only those 11 players will earn points for your team. To change your starting 11, click on the player graphic and you will be given the available options from your bench. If, for instance, you want to play another defender you must change formation to do this.

Should one of your starting 11 not actually play in a game round, then the top-scoring player from the same position on your bench will automatically come on. Only a player who plays in the same position can come on.

There is ONE deadline for every gameweek. This deadline is the first kick-off of the game round. Any changes to your team (substitutions, transfers, formations) will come into effect for the gameweek selected. REST OF SENTENCE REMOVED. If you don’t make any changes to your team the current team will continue to score points for you. The gameweek fixtures are displayed to the right of your pitch.

The following formations are possible:

* 3-4-3
* 4-3-3
* 3-5-2
* 4-4-2
* 5-3-2
* 4-5-1
* 5-4-1

Once a gameweek is over and points have been finalised, select the gameweek from the dropdown box to view your line-up. You can then see the points tally for that particular gameweek. It will also show which players, if any, have automatically been substituted from the bench. These players will have a tick by them.

You can modify your squad throughout the tournament in the transfer market. When a gameweek deadline has passed, though, any changes you have made to your squad will not come into scoring effect until the next gameweek, as the current game round deadline will have passed.

You will have 12 transfers to last you the whole group stage. Eight additional transfers will be added for each knockout round. Transfers CANNOT be carried over to the next competition stage.

Leagues

Every manager goes into the overall league, but it’s much more fun to take on your friends and colleagues in a mini-league. There is no limit to the number of mini-leagues you can join. You can allow anyone to join your mini-league, protect it with a password or only allow managers who support the same nation to join in. Simply go to My Leagues and go through the process of either joining or creating a league. All created leagues are visible via a dropdown menu. When ranking mini-leagues we take an average score from a number of teams, so there is no advantage to have a large number of teams in your league.

* Set up your own league or join a friend’s league. You can also upload your own league logo and choose a motto
* Set a password, if you wish, so that only your chosen friends can join your league
* Set a password so that only your best mates can join your league
* Not enough being in one league? No problem, you can join as many as you like
