La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 Draft Fantasy Are Live for 2026/27
Draft Fantasy is now live for the 2026/27 La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 seasons.
You can create a private league, invite your friends and choose either a live auction or snake draft. Every player belongs to one manager in your league, so every squad is different and every draft decision matters.
Four European leagues, one Draft Fantasy format
All four games use the same Draft Fantasy league engine:
- Unique squads: a player can only belong to one manager in each league.
- Auction or snake drafts: bid from an equal budget or take turns picking.
- Custom scoring: decide which football actions your league rewards.
- Waivers and free agents: choose weekly reset, rolling, FAAB or no waivers.
- Trades: negotiate deals with other managers throughout the season.
- Head-to-head or points leagues: choose the table that suits your group.
The competition changes, but the central question stays the same: can you build a better squad than your friends when nobody can copy your best players?

Why draft instead of building another budget squad?
Budget fantasy games let multiple managers own the same star. That makes it easy for strong templates to emerge and for rivals to converge on similar teams.
Draft Fantasy changes the ownership rule. If you draft a player, nobody else in your league can own him.
That creates real scarcity. Missing your preferred striker forces a new plan. A breakout player on waivers can change one team rather than every team. Trades matter because the manager across the table owns something you cannot simply buy elsewhere.
The result feels closer to running a club: you assemble a squad from a shared player pool, react to transfers and injuries, and improve through waivers and trades over the full season.
Auction draft or snake draft?
A snake draft is the quickest way to get started. Managers pick in order, then the order reverses for the next round. If you pick last in round one, you pick first in round two.
An auction gives every manager a chance to sign every player. Everyone starts with the same virtual budget, players are nominated one at a time and the highest bidder wins.
Auctions create decisions before a ball is kicked. Spend heavily on one elite player or spread the budget across the squad? Bid against a rival or save money for later? Set a sealed maximum bid if you cannot attend the entire draft?
Both formats create unique squads. Choose the one your group will enjoy arguing about most.
