No portfolio saved?Your regular draw becomes your portfolio fallback, so you still take part.
Portfolio pot
Your portfolio can be balanced or bold.
Back different teams by different amounts, then watch their team banks move as results come in.
Fair before kickoff
Your picks stay private until lock.
A fair regular draw
Nobody gets an extra team just because the numbers do not divide.
The app draws the largest evenly divisible set from all 48 teams. Any teams left over are unclaimed. If an unclaimed team earns a regular prize, that prize is shared equally by every locked player.
During the tournament
Match results move money between team banks.
Every portfolio team has a bank funded by players' backing. Results move value between the two teams' banks. Wins, goals, clean sheets, and later knockout rounds can make the movement larger.

The losing team's performance still matters: goals scored by the losing team can draw money back from the winning team's bank.
Final return
Your two results are added together.
The final settlement combines both amounts into one total for each player.

How the regular draw handles leftovers
Every locked player receives the same number of teams. The app uses the largest number of teams that divides evenly, then randomly marks the remainder unclaimed as part of the stored draw.
Portfolio limits and fallback
If you never save a custom portfolio, the teams from your regular draw are used as your fallback at lock.
Exact team-bank movement
The losing bank sends the base rate, plus 5% for each winner goal and a 5% clean-sheet bonus when applicable.
The winning bank sends value back for each goal scored by the losing team. This means a 3-2 result moves value in both directions before the net change is shown.
Each bank sends the draw rate plus 5% per goal to the other bank. Equal rates can still create a net change when the banks started at different sizes.
Stage multipliers increase movement later in the tournament. A transfer can never take more than the bank currently holds.
After a knockout loss, the eliminated team's remaining value becomes locked value and stops moving in later matches.
Deadline and visibility
Portfolio editing closes at Thursday, 11 June 2026 at 20:00. The server deadline is authoritative, even if a browser was left open before kickoff. Allocations are private before that moment and revealed automatically after it.
