THE 4 CATEGORIES

Every power-up belongs to one of four categories. Each plays a different role in your weekly arsenal.

Increase the points one of your starters scores. Stack on top performers to magnify their week.

🎯

ATTACK

Debuff an opponent starter. Hit their stud QB or top WR to drag down their ceiling.

🛡

DEFENSE

Shield one of your players from incoming attacks. Protect your studs from rival sabotage.

🔥

TEAM BUFF

Affect your whole roster (or your opponent's). Smaller per-player effect, but it hits everyone.

HOW TO USE

The weekly cycle: get your pool, build your loadout, lock in, then watch them resolve live.

TUE — POOL DROPS

Receive Your Weekly 8

Each Tuesday, your team gets a fresh pool of 8 power-ups assigned automatically. The mix is weighted by standings — last place gets a slightly stronger pull.

TUE–SAT — BUILD

Build Your Loadout

Pick up to 4 power-ups from your pool and slot them into your loadout. Assign each one a target — your own player for boosts and shields, an opponent starter for attacks.

SUN — LOCK

Lock at First Kickoff

Loadouts lock at the first Sunday kickoff. After that, no edits. Anything still unselected from your weekly 8 either rolls to your stash or expires.

SUN — RESOLVE

Watch The Battle Unfold

Power-ups fire automatically as your players score. Boosts pump your stud. Attacks land — unless your rival shielded that player.

MON — MNF SLOT

Reassign for Monday Night

You get one bonus MNF slot that re-opens before Monday Night Football kicks. Adjust based on Sunday's outcomes.

BUILDING YOUR LOADOUT

Here's what a locked loadout looks like in the Battle Arena. Each slot shows the power-up, its target, and live status.

ARMED

Heads up:if a player you targeted with a boost or shield ends up DNP (didn't play), the power-up is wasted — it doesn't transfer. Always have a Plan B target in mind.

Get tactical with your own lineup

STRATEGY TIPS

🎯

STACK BOOSTS ON CEILINGS

+30% on a 25-point stud is +7.5 pts. The same boost on a 10-point flex is only +3. Always boost your highest-projected player.

🛡

SHIELD YOUR ANCHOR

If you have a clear top-1 player, expect rivals to attack them. A shield turns their attack into a wasted slot.

⚡

DON'T SAVE THEM

Your weekly 8 reset every Tuesday. Unused power-ups expire. Use 'em or lose 'em (unless you have a stash slot open).

🔥

TEAM BUFFS = INSURANCE

+8% across your whole lineup is steady, low-variance value. Great when you don't have one obvious stud to single-target.

🎲

BAIT THE SHIELD

If your rival only has 4 slots, target their 2nd-best player with an attack. They likely shielded their #1 — your hit lands clean.

⏰

SAVE 1 SLOT FOR MNF

The Monday Night slot is your comeback button. Watch Sunday play out, then deploy where it matters most.

FAQ

The power-up is wasted — it doesn't transfer to another player and you don't get it back. The Battle Arena marks the slot as WASTED. Always pick a target you're confident is starting.

Depends on your league's visibility setting. By default you see the type ("ATTACK queued") but not the specific power-up or target. Some leagues run blind mode or full mode.

If your league has trades enabled — yes. Go to the Power-Ups tab and propose a 1-for-1 swap (or a gift). Power-ups already locked into your loadout can't be traded mid-week.

A seasonal bench that survives weekly resets. Power-ups you don't use auto-save to your stash before they expire (up to your stash cap). They're available to play any future week.

By design — the league is standings-weighted. Bottom-third teams get bumped into a higher tier so the worst team always has a puncher's chance. It's a rubber-band, not a handout.

Absolutely. A well-timed Lock-On Missile on the right WR plus a Double Dash on your stud QB can swing 10+ points. Power-ups are a real second axis to the game on top of your roster.
