Perspective
The tournament will be separated into a group stage and a final Fantasy Draft knockout stage. The 20 participants will be split into four groups of five, with each player managing the same club in their group through three in-game seasons. Players will be ranked based on league position, cup progress, and managerial ratings. Clubs will be set up identically to ensure equal playing conditions.
The four group winners will compete in a Fantasy Draft knockout competition, with the semi-finals and finals being played over two aggregate legs. The four semi-finalists are given US$274 million to draft a 25-player squad from a 2,500-player pool.[3]
