Division 1 still plays every day, we just count the Tuesdays and Fridays. That is why the page calls the second one round 4: it is the league's own round number, with "2 of 7" next to it so you know where you are in the competition.
Entering your six
- Sign in free at squadscout.pro. An email address is enough but add your discord name too so we can easily contact you!
- Open the SquadScout6 page.
- Predict a scoreline for each of the six fixtures. Change them as often as you like right up to 20:00 UTC.
- At kick-off everything locks, The Scout's picks are revealed, and the results fill in after full time.
Miss a round and it scores zero. There is no penalty beyond that, and you can join at any point in the season.
How the scoring works
Each fixture is marked out of six, and the rules stack rather than replacing each other.
| What you got right | Points |
|---|---|
| Exact scoreline | 2 |
| Correct result: home win, draw or away win | 2 |
| Home side's goal tally | 1 |
| Away side's goal tally | 1 |
| All six results correct in the same round | +5 bonus |
Take a match that finishes 3-0:
- You called 3-0. That is 6 points: exact score, correct result, and both sides' tallies.
- You called 4-0. That is 3 points: correct result, plus the away side's tally of nil.
- You called 4-1. That is 2 points: the result only.
- You called 1-2. Zilch.
The maximum for one round is 41 points: six fixtures at six each, plus the five point bonus for getting all six results right.
Tiebreaks
Your six scorelines add up to a total number of goals. That number is used to settle ties.
- On a round: most points wins. Level on points and the closest predicted goal total to the real total across all six takes it. Still level and the prize is split equally.
- On the season: most points wins. Level on points and the most exact scorelines takes it. Still level and the prize is split equally.
Season 23 prizes
Footium funds the prize pot. For season 23:
- 250k FC to the winner of each of the seven rounds.
- 1M FC instead of the 250k if that winner called all six scorelines exactly.
- 1M FC to the season champion.
That is 2.75M FC of guaranteed prizes, with more if anyone lands the jackpot.
Getting paid
Winning is not enough on its own: Footium has to be able to find you.
Add a Discord handle or a wallet address in Settings, under Account. If you win, we share your account email plus that handle or address with Footium so they can verify you and send the coins.
Do it before you win rather than after. It takes about 10 seconds.
The Scout
The Scout is Squad Scout Pro's own prediction model, and it enters every round alongside you. It uses each club's currently set lineup, their attack and defence ratings and their season form, and its picks stay sealed until entries lock so nobody can copy them.
It is ranked on the boards like any other manager, but it never takes a prize. It finished 19th on a board of 154 last season, on 247 points, so our predictions are worth something. Beating it is the real benchmark.
Season 22 is still there
The whole of last season is browsable: every round's board, every result, your picks against The Scout's, and the final table. Use the season chip at the top of the SquadScout6 page to switch to it.
Kevin Banse won it on 328 points with 18 exact scorelines from 16 rounds, very impressive!!
