How to play Sofascore’s Nations League Fantasy: quick, practical guide

The game runs across the international break and includes multiple rounds of Nations League fixtures. The coverage on Fantasy Football Scout indicates there are four rounds to look forward to during this break, and the site is publishing team reveals and round-by-round content while the competition is live.

Your squad comprises 15 players and must follow positional quotas: two goalkeepers, five defenders, five midfielders and three forwards. You must also respect the overall budget, which is €100m. Those are the core selection constraints — pick within the budget and the positional limits.

Starting XI and formation requirements

From your 15-player squad you set a starting XI. The requirements for your selected lineup are: exactly one goalkeeper, at least three defenders, at least three midfielders and at least one forward. That leaves you flexibility across formations that meet those minimums, but you cannot drop below the stated positional minima in your starting XI.

The original guide covers additional practical topics you will need while managing your team: how captaincy works, substitution rules, the scoring system and other matchday mechanics. It also points to ongoing content such as round-by-round team reveals, Scout Picks for each round, a fixture ticker covering all 54 nations and a link to join community mini-leagues with prizes.

Practical checklist before deadline

• Pick 15 players: 2 GK, 5 DEF, 5 MID, 3 FWD, within €100m.
• Set your starting XI with 1 GK, minimum 3 DEF, minimum 3 MID, minimum 1 FWD.
• Review any team reveals, fixture ticker or Scout Picks published for the upcoming round.

If you use the Sofascore app regularly, the fastest route is the social sign-in. If you land on the main Fantasy hub but don't see the Nations League, navigate into the "All competitions – Available now" list. The site and community pages publish suggested 15-player Scout Picks and round-by-round team reveals while the competition is active, which can help final selection and captain choices.

Sofascore is structured like many fantasy tournaments: a fixed budget, fixed squad size, and straightforward starting XI rules. Use the social sign-in and the Fantasy home navigation to access the game, then build a 15-player squad that fits the positional and budget constraints before the round deadline.
