Welcome to the ultimate deep-dive into the XI Royale arena. This is where we break down exactly how to navigate the formats, master Private Hubs, and maximize your FPL IQ for real-world returns.
How The Arena Operates
XI Royale transforms your existing Fantasy Premier League (FPL) team into a competitive weapon. We link directly to your public FPL Manager ID and pull your Gameweek scores natively into our engine.
The Scoring is Automated: What you score on the official FPL app is exactly what you score in XI Royale. Net transfers (point hits) are automatically factored in.
T-20 Lockout Protocol: All matches lock exactly 20 minutes before the first Premier League kickoff of the Gameweek. Once locked, the funds are escrowed and your opponent cannot back out.
Mastering The Game Modes
Not all battles are fought on the same battlefield. We've built distinct formats to test different aspects of your management strategy.
1v1 Duels (1 Gameweek)
Pure head-to-head combat. You versus an opponent for a single Gameweek. The manager with the highest net score after FPL verifies the data takes the entire pot. If you tie, the bout is declared a draw and your stakes are refunded.
The Throuple (3 Players)
A three-way sprint. 1st place doubles their money, 2nd place survives with their original stake refunded, and 3rd place loses it all. An excellent balance of risk and reward.
The Cage Match (3 Gameweeks)
A grueling marathon for 4 to 10 players. To win the Cage Match, you must achieve the highest cumulative score across three consecutive Gameweeks. This tests long-term planning, chip usage, and injury management over a full month of real-world football.
Last Man Standing (Survival)
A massive multiplayer pool where the bottom 10% of scoring managers are eliminated at the end of every Gameweek. Consistency is key. Survive the culling week after week until you are the final manager remaining to claim the jackpot.
Tactical Edge
Using your chips (Wildcard, Triple Captain, Bench Boost) in XI Royale works exactly like FPL. When competing in long formats like 'The Cage', holding onto a Wildcard for Gameweek 2 or 3 of the battle is a devastatingly effective strategy.
Controlling Private Hubs
Are you tired of managing unpaid WhatsApp FPL mini-leagues where the winner has to chase people down for cash in May? Private Hubs solve this completely.
Creating a Hub: You can create an exclusive Private Hub and invite your friends via a secure link. You set the rules—whether you want a single Gameweek sprint, a monthly pot, or a full-season war.
Automated Financials: The Hub engine handles all the money. Friends deposit their buy-ins into the Hub's secure smart-pot via M-PESA. When the competition ends, the platform instantly divides the winnings based on your selected payout structure (Winner Takes All vs Tiered Payouts).
The Banter Room: Every Private Hub features a dedicated chat lobby specifically engineered for trash talk. All stats, live standings, and banter are centralized in one war room.
Panga Tebo (The Predictors)
For managers who prefer predicting real-world outcomes rather than relying on FPL players scoring points, the Panga Tebo systems allow you to predict the final real-world standings of various leagues.
This includes our famous Season Predictor (predicting the final 1 to 20 table of the Premier League) and the Continental Predictors (forecasting exact outcomes for the Champions League and off-platform fixtures).
