1 HOW TO PLAY

1.1 Introduction

World Super League aims to become a place where gamers, traders and fantasy football managers will gather to compete and try to get huge rewards! You can build your roster with the players you’ve always dreamed about and compete with users from all over the world, to climb the ranking and obtain the highest prizes!

WSL - Assets

Players won’t be the only assets on WSL:

A coach is needed to deploy a line-up
Modules are also needed to set up your formation
Bonus cards are special items that have some specific conditions which, if met, will increase your total score

WSL - Marketplace

You can get new cards through packs and competitions, but also through the Marketplace, where your trading skills will help you to improve your roster!

1.2 Basic Rules

In World Super League you can join numerous competitions choosing the formation of your dream!

In order to successfully deploy a formation you must select 22 items:

1 coach
1 module
11 starting players
4 players on the bench
5 bonus cards

Each card mentioned before will contribute to increase your total score in different ways.

Starting players will get a score based on their real performances during the matchday of that competition, on top of that they can get a bonus/malus for some specific events.
Here’s the list:

+ 3 for each goal scored
+ 1 for each assist served
- 0,5 and - 1 respectively for yellow and red cards
- 3 for each penalty failed
+ 3 for each penalty saved
- 1 for each goal taken (from the goalkeeper)
- 1 for each own goal scored

Players on the bench might replace the starting players in case one of them won’t get a score for any reason.
(You can find more details in 1.5 Substitutions).
You must deploy the lineups for every match, according to the countdown shown in the gaming platform.

The coach gives a +3 bonus to your total score in case the team shown on the card wins, no malus will be applied in case of draw/loss.

The module determines which specific roles you can deploy in your lineup.
(You can find more details in 1.4 Modules)

Bonus cards are really important in World Super League, you must choose 5 for each match and, if their specific condition is met, they will give a further bonus to your total score.
(You can find more details in 2.2 Extra Cards)

A really important aspect of WSL rules: every card has a specific salary/weight. Players have salary and other cards have weight, the total salary/weight of your deployed lineup cannot exceed the salary cap of WSL, which is 400 for the Beta.
Leagues and cups will have a ranking based on the sum of all the scores obtained by the cards you deployed during the leagues/cups matchdays.
Note: bonus cards will trigger only for the starters. If your starting goalkeeper won’t play, then your backup won’t activate any bonus cards (such as Wall and Flying GK).

1.3 Modules

Another important aspect to consider is that the module card you choose will determine which specific roles you can deploy.
Different modules have different weights, see the list below.

Weight:
20 = 343, 433, 442
15 = 3412, 3421, 4312, 4231
10 = 352, 3511, 4141, 4411

1.4 Roles

Before digging into the different modules, we should keep an eye on WSL roles, every player has at least one and maximum three roles. This is the list of each role available on WSL:

GK: Goalkeeper
CB: Center Back
RB: Right Back
LB: Left Back
WM: Wide Midfielder
CDM: Center Defensive Midfielder
CM: Center Midfielder
CAM: Center Attacking Midfielder
W: Wing
CF: Center Forward
ST: Striker

As said before, every module will determine which specific roles you can deploy, see the picture below:

1.5 Substitutions

In case one or more of your starters won’t play that turn, or won’t get a score for any reasons, they will be replaced by picking the most suitable backup among those you deployed on the bench. The maximum number of allowed substitutions it’s the same of the players allowed on the bench (4).

The Goalkeeper is a unique role, because he can only be replaced by another GK, and if you deploy more than one on the bench the system will automatically pick the first you did choose.

For every other role the system will look into your bench trying to find a perfect substitute, so a player who has the very same role, and in case there’s no one available, it will try to replace him with another player depending on the module.

1.6 Marketplace

In our Marketplace you can buy and sell all the various game assets, through auctions and direct sales.

You can trade cards using the two in-game currencies of World Super League: Noku and Credits. There's a minimum listing price for WSL cards, which depends on their type/overall, as shown in this tab:

Please note: the staff of World Super League strictly prohibits any kind of manipulation activities, being them about the market or the in-game currencies. Moving Noku or Credits from one account to another through suspicious operations might lead to a permanent ban.

If you're struggling to sell a weak/common card you can also discard it and get some Credits back. The amount of Credits will depend on the type/overall, as shown in this tab:
