How it works

Seven players are already locked in

Everyone gets the same hidden sequence. Your first ranked attempt is the entry that counts toward the daily leaderboard.

7 players pre-selected

7 players are already locked into your XI. No new squad is revealed until the draft begins.

4 hidden squad rolls

4 historic squads appear one at a time. You select 1 player from each squad and cannot preview future rolls.

Shared deterministic draft

Every player receives the same sequence for Saturday, August 8, 2026, so results are directly comparable.

One Test decides it

Once your XI is complete, you play a single one-off Test. Only the first ranked attempt is eligible for the daily leaderboard.
