How to Play

OffsideFPL adds social drinking rules on top of your FPL mini-league. You manage your team in the official FPL app — we handle the rest.

Weekly winners & losers
Each gameweek, the highest scorer in your league wins. The lowest scorer owes a drink. Simple as that.
  • Scores are based on gross FPL points — transfer hits don't count. Go wild.
  • You're only eligible from the gameweek you joined
  • A league needs at least 3 members to have results
Nominations
Winning isn't just glory — you get to pick who drinks with the loser.
  • Chosen mode: the winner hand-picks companions
  • Random mode: a random draw picks more people, but the winner is in the pool too — risk vs reward
  • Losers are protected and can't be nominated on top of their loss
Drink submissions
Owe a drink? Submit it. Your league admin approves or declines.
  • Losing or getting nominated creates a drink obligation
  • Tap submit and add an optional note
  • Admins review and approve — they can't approve their own
Overdue penalty
Don't sit on your drinks. Overdue drinks block you from winning.
  • You can't win any gameweek while you have overdue drinks
  • Warnings at 30 and 45 days overdue
  • Auto-removed from the league at 60 days — no exceptions
  • Already submitted but waiting on admin? That's not overdue
Ties
Multiple people can share the top or bottom spot.
  • Multiple winners: each nominates independently
  • Multiple losers: each owes a drink
  • Everyone ties: draw — no winner, no loser, no drinks
Config changes
League admins can tweak settings at any time, but changes only apply going forward.
  • Existing results and drink obligations are never changed retroactively
  • New nomination counts, deadlines, etc. take effect from the next gameweek

Rules enforced per league. Your admin controls nomination counts, deadlines, and other settings.
