Friends & Friendlies
Football is best with rivals you actually know: on the Friends screen you invite mates into the game (and earn slush fund rewards for it), follow your friends in a private ranking – and challenge them to friendlies, the risk-free proving ground for your tactics.
The Friends screen
You'll find it in the menu under Friends. Three things happen here:
- Friends: you and your friends as a private ranking by overall points in your world – with league position, cup round and international competition for every club. Profile opens the manager profile, Challenge starts a friendly request to this friend right away.
- Matches: your friendlies hub. Challenge a friend or post an open slot, answer challenges sent to you, withdraw your own requests, see scheduled matches with the remaining time, use the opponent search for open slots of other clubs and check the latest results with your record.
- Invite: your personal invitation code with share function, reward overview and the three steps (see below).
You collect friends in two ways: open any manager's profile (e.g. from a ranking or a club page) and add them as a friend – that's your personal watchlist. Or you recruit someone with your code: then you become friends automatically, both ways.
Refer a friend
Inviting someone is this simple:
- Share your personal invitation code – via WhatsApp, the share function or simply copied.
- Your friend downloads the app, picks a club and enters the code during sign-up ("Invitation code" field).
- As soon as the code is redeemed you're automatically friends – and the rewards start flowing.
| Milestone | Your reward (slush fund) |
|---|---|
| Friend redeems your code at sign-up | 10,000 – instantly |
| Friend is still active after 50 days | 40,000 on top |
Your friend benefits too: with your code they start with 15,000 SK extra (30,000 instead of 15,000 starting balance) and play their first 30 days ad-free.
The 50,000 per recruited friend is one of the few ways to fill your slush fund without real money – and you gain lasting rivals on top. There's no limit: every redeemed code counts.
Setting up friendlies
There are two ways to arrange a friendly:
- Challenge a friend: you send a friend a direct challenge with your preferred kick-off. If they accept, the match is on.
- Post an open slot: you set date, time and a strength range (average strength of the opponent's top 15). Any matching club in your world can accept the slot via the opponent search – so you'll always find a game on eye level, even without a friends list.
Matches are played every half hour between 06:00 and 18:00, and slots can be set for today and tomorrow. The result and full match report appear on the Friends screen as usual.
What friendlies do – and what they don't
Friendlies are deliberately consequence-free – the perfect sandbox:
- No injuries and no suspensions – cards shown in the match have no consequences.
- No money flows: no ticket income, but also no appearance, goal or points bonuses.
- No stats entries: goals don't count towards top-scorer lists or player statistics.
- But: every friendly that goes ahead earns both managers +1 point in the overall points ranking.
Use friendlies as your tactics lab: a new formation, a different approach, a youth player in an unfamiliar position – try anything here without risking injuries, suspensions or table points. Before big cup or international weeks this is worth gold.
Friends screen = private ranking + invite + friendlies · share your invitation code, your friend enters it at sign-up → automatically friends · reward: 10,000 slush fund instantly, +40,000 after 50 days of activity · friendlies via challenge or open slot (strength filter), every half hour 06:00–18:00 · consequence-free (no injuries/suspensions/finances), but +1 manager point for both.
