Common questions
Is my game saved?
Yes. Your game saves automatically on your device. Tap Continue on the home screen to pick up where you left off. Saves are stored on this device only, so use Export backup if you want a copy, and Import backup to restore it.
How do online rooms work?
One person taps Online room → Host a new room and shares the 5-character code. Everyone else taps Join and enters the code. The host must keep the game open during play. A brief host connection drop has a 20-second recovery window; leaving or refreshing the host's game, or staying disconnected longer, closes the room. Finished results stay on screen. If you're a guest, you can rejoin an open room after a reload with the same code in the same browser on the same device. Use the same website address and keep your browser data: recovery uses the saved anonymous sign-in and room details, which expire after six hours.
Can we play on one phone?
Yes. Pick Same device under Play with friends, and pass the phone between turns. Up to 5 managers can play.
What is Chaos mode?
An optional party mode for the live auction with friends. Trivia breaks (9 games, including Flag XI, Who Am I? and Career Path) win you power-up cards like Sponsor deal, Freeze and Hammer. Turn it on in the multiplayer setup.
Quick sim or week by week?
Quick sim plays the season out in one go once your XI is set. Week by week lets you manage every matchday: rotation, fitness, morale, key moments and dressing-room decisions.
Where do the ratings come from?
Ratings, values and wages are the game's own estimates for the 2026/27 season. They're for fun and not official.
Does the game cost anything?
No. Gaffer is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
