How to play Fantasy United (2024)

The cards, a series of digital collectibles newly launched for the 2024/25 campaign, represent every member of our men’s first-team squad and are each available in three different rarities: Classic, Rare and Ultra-Rare.

On top of their hand-drawn designs, the cards will feature dynamic stats that update throughout the season and can be collected via packs of seven, available here.

BUILDING A SQUAD

Head to manutd.com/playercards where you can begin assembling your Player Trading Cards collection and dream Fantasy United line-up. Click the ‘SIGN IN’ button and connect using your social account or wallet to create or connect to an existing wallet.

After you connect or create a wallet, click ‘BUY A PACK’ and select how many packs you want to buy. You can obtain players of all rarities via packs of seven for £3, and can buy up to 10 packs per purchase, paying using card or Tez.

Every member of Erik ten Hag’s squad is available in the three aforementioned rarities, and completing your collection will not only give you a bigger pool of players to choose from in Fantasy United, but also put you in a special prize draw to win exclusive prizes.

SELECTING A LINE-UP

Once you have at least one pack of players, you are ready to select your matchday line-up on manutd.com/fantasy.This will be made up of five cards from your collection for all competitive men’s games in the 2024/25 season, starting with our Premier League opener against Fulham on 16 August.

Your team features three Classic slots for Classic cards, along with one Rare and one Ultra-Rare position in which your players can score double and triple points respectively if they match the rarity of the slot that they are in. Classics can also be picked in place of Rares and Ultra-Rares, but will not have their points multiplied.

There are no limits on how many goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders or forwards you can play at once, and there are no substitutes if your selected players do not play – so be sure to make your choices wisely!

Line-ups must be submitted by 90 minutes before kick-off on a matchday, with the first deadline of the season, before the Fulham game, at 18:30 BST on 16 August.

MANAGING YOUR TEAM

Points will be updated as soon as possible after they are scored in game, usually within five minutes, and at full-time.

Between matchdays, you can keep track of your progress and make as many changes to your line-up as you want – including transferring in new cards you may have received from packs.If you forget to change your side, or opt to keep it the same as it is, your previous line-up will carry over into the next matchday.
