How to play

A fantasy survivor league is simple to start—and hard to master.

Build a weekly fantasy lineup, manage a season-long player budget, and stay out of the elimination zone. The format gives your group something meaningful to follow every week.

Join the league

Enter through your league invite, then create the entry or entries your commissioner allows.

Set a lineup

Each week, fill the slots defined by your league's roster template. Different leagues can use different formats.

Use players once

Every player you use is recorded for that entry for the rest of the season. Saving a player today means giving up that option later.

Follow the live score

Your lineup earns points from real stat lines. The standings update as games finish, so the elimination line can move all day.

Survive the cut

The commissioner-defined elimination schedule determines how many of the lowest weekly scores leave the survivor race.

Not a one-pick pool

The strategy is in the roster, not just the result.

You are not simply choosing a winner. You are assembling a complete scoring lineup while deciding which players to spend now and which ones to save for a later week.

A full weekly score

Every slot contributes to the outcome your league is tracking.

A season-long plan

Used players disappear from your available pool for that entry.

A live standings story

Scores, reveals, and the elimination line change throughout the week.

A second way to compete

If enabled, the season points race keeps eliminated entries involved.

Your league's format

Roster settings are flexible.

There is no single required lineup for every league. Your commissioner chooses the slots and eligible positions, and the pick sheet shows the exact template for your league.

Pick privacy

Your strategy stays yours until kickoff.

Other entries cannot see a pick before that player's game starts. Reveals happen per player, so an early game can become public while later picks remain hidden.

Want the commissioner version?

The commissioner controls the league shape—roster, locks, eliminations, invitations, and whether the points race stays active.
