Rapid Play… with more bite.

Play possessed. Survive the frenzy. Win it all.


🎃From Rapid to Rabid

You’ve may remember Rapid Play — the quick-fire tournaments where the action never stops. This week, something’s changed. The lights flicker, the crowd howls, and every tackle carries a little too much bite.

Welcome to Rabid Play — our Halloween special where the same Rapid Play format gets infected with pure chaos.

The action kicks off on Wednesday at 6pm CET — until Friday!


⚽ The Format

  • Knockout-only. No groups, no waiting.
  • Sizes: 8-team and 16-team brackets for paid entry Rabid Play, up to 256 teams for freerolls.
  • Instant starts: tournaments appear on the competitions page, and as soon as one fills, it launches automatically.
  • Rounds begin the moment the previous one ends.

⚠️ Entry rules ⚠️

OVR Cap

  • Rabid Play tournaments only consider the highest OVR player on your entire squad. In order to enter, your highest-rated player must be within a certain range. For example, between 61–65 OVR.
  • For the paid entry tournaments, there is no range, just a maximum.
  • These restrictions apply at both registrations and match time (locks 5 mins prior to kick off).
  • Both conditions consider face OVR only (on the player’s card), and ignore bonuses/positional familiarity.
  • There will be tournaments in the following bands.
    We may add more depending on demand, like a no-limit version!

Other

  • Max 1 club per owner in any given tournament.
  • As with all other unofficial competitions and side events, fatigue is disabled and XP/progression is unaffected.
  • If you’re planning on changing your default tactics for Rabid Play, make sure to use the Upcoming Matches feature in the Tactics page! This allows you to set a tactic ahead of time for specific League and Cup matches — bypassing your default lineup and tactics.

🩸 The Twist — Rage Mode

Fill the bar 📊

Every team in Rabid Play has a rage bar. Fouls and cards fill it up — and as the bar climbs, your players start losing control…

  • When the bar hits 100% and 200%, a random player on the team becomes rabid.
  • When they’re rabid, players are faster. And stronger. And taller. And they never tire.

Seeing red 🔴

  • When they get a red card, players aren’t sent off. No, no. The ref wouldn’t dare. They remain on the pitch and go rabid in a hurry.

🏆Survive and Win

Each Rabid Play tournament rewards you, whether it’s a freeroll or paid entry. The deeper you go, the more you earn.

$MFL, Development Center Passes, even a custom pitch and a special pattern for the Kit Creator… you name it.


📅 When to Play

Rabid Play runs Wednesday — Friday from 6pm CET, with tournaments spawning regularly on the Competitions page.

Enjoy this one-off Halloween special — fast, furious, built for chaos! 
Leave your spreadsheets in the locker room , all ye who enter. This is football with fangs.

Time to play possessed.
