EIHL Dream Team

How Dream Team Works

Build your EIHL Dream Team squad, manage your team every gameweek and compete against supporters throughout the season.

How It Works

Build. Manage. Compete.

Everything you need to know before the season gets underway.

Step 01

Build Your Squad

Select a 19-player EIHL fantasy squad while meeting the official roster and nationality rules.

Step 02

Manage Every Gameweek

Make transfers, adjust your leadership and react to form, injuries and roster changes throughout the season.

Step 03

Climb The Standings

Your players score from real EIHL performances. Earn fantasy points and compete against managers throughout the season.

Squad Selection

Build A Valid Squad

Every manager starts by selecting 19 EIHL players. Your squad must meet the position, nationality and team limits before it can be submitted.

The squad builder checks these rules as you select players, so you can see when your team is ready to submit.

Transfers

Manage Every Gameweek

Make up to three transfers each gameweek to react to injuries, player form and roster changes across the Elite League. You can also update your captain and alternate captains before the weekly deadline.
