Pick 4.
Win the World Cup.
All you do is pick four players, then name your captain. Only goals and assists score, and each player's rate is the points they bank per goal or assist.

South AfricaStart picking. No account needed.
Pick four players below. Goals and assists are the only things that count, and rate rewards risk — sure things score small, underdogs score large. Hand the armband to one of them and they score on rate^exp, turning your gutsiest call into your biggest payout. Jump in as a guest.
The smallest team in football.
Most fantasy games bury you in transfers, formations and price changes. Goalz strips it to one decision and one scoring rule — only goals and assists count. Pick four, and play.
Pick 4 — every phase
No squad of 15. No formations. No bench. You choose four players each Round — and because transfers are free, you can rebuild your 4 at every phase. For the semis and final it tapers to a pick-2 sprint finish.
One rate each — backwards
Every player carries a rate from 2.0 to 12.0 that runs the opposite way to other games — a banker is a low rate, a longshot a high one. It starts from the draw pot, then leans on in-tournament form as the rounds roll on.
You pick the captain
Choose one player from your 4 as captain each Round — they score via rate^exp, where defenders (1.5) pay more than midfielders (1.4) or attackers (1.3). Popular picks get a slightly lower bonus; rare picks a slightly higher one. One captain, no second armband.
One Round per phase, opening night to final.
Goalz splits the World Cup into twelve Rounds — a fresh score every few days. The group matchdays divide A–F / G–L, so your picker pool flips each group Round; then it's straight knockout from the Round of 32.

- R12FinalFinal×2
Groups run across two pools — odd rounds (MD1, MD3, MD5) cover groups A–F, even rounds (MD2, MD4, MD6) cover G–L. The R32 splits across two rounds. From the semi-finals onwards, your squad tapers to pick 2.
Your same 4 race in four tables at once.
Pick once and you're auto-entered into all four. A bad phase costs you the Round, not the Tournament — so one quiet matchday never ends your cup. Four windows, four shots at a trophy.
Round
A fresh fight each phase. Top the table on Matchday 1 and you're on the podium before Matchday 2 kicks off.
Group Stage
The whole group phase added up. One table for the cliffhanger — favourites crashing out, dark horses emerging.
Knockouts
The knockout sprint from R32 to the Final. Best 5 of 6 rounds count — one bad round and you're still in it.
Tournament
The whole World Cup, start to finish. Your two worst Rounds drop automatically — miss a couple and you're still in it.
It all starts at the Azteca.
The opening slate of 104 matches. Lock your 4 before kickoff and every goal counts from the very first whistle in Mexico City.
