3-5-2 FC — Football Fantasy Draft Game
3-5-2 FC is a free, browser-based football fantasy draft game. Draft a squad of real international players, manage your team through a group stage and knockout tournament, and simulate matches minute by minute. Build your team and win it all.
How to Play
Start by choosing your formation — 3-5-2, 4-3-3, 4-4-2 and more are available. Then enter the draft: draw national teams at random and pick players from each squad. Your drafted players form your starting XI and reserves. Once your squad is complete, name your team and enter the International Cup tournament.
The Tournament
The International Cup features 48 national teams drawn into 12 groups of 4. Your squad competes through 3 group stage matchdays, then progresses through the Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarter-finals, Semi-finals and the Final. Every campaign produces a unique draw — no two tournaments are the same.
Campaign Hub
The Campaign Hub is your home between matches. View your group standings, check upcoming fixtures, scout your next opponent's squad and formation, manage your players, and kick off your next match. Track your progress through the group stage and into the knockout rounds.
Squad Management
Before each match, set your starting XI and reserves. Assign your captain for a leadership bonus and choose your penalty taker for shootout situations. Switch your team tactic between Balanced, Attacking and Defensive to adapt to your opponent. Use powerups like Extra Sub to gain a tactical edge.
Live Match Simulation
Matches are simulated minute by minute. Watch goals, yellow cards, injuries, fouls and substitutions unfold in real time. Change your tactic mid-match to respond to the scoreline. Use your VAR powerup to overturn red cards. Every match event is driven by your players' real stats — finishing, defending, goalkeeping, creativity and more.
Match Result and Rewards
After each match, see the full-time result, match statistics, and your squad's performance. Advance further in the tournament to earn better powerup rewards. Reach the Quarter-finals, Semi-finals or win the whole tournament to unlock the best prizes. Your results and career statistics are saved to your profile.
Powerups
Powerups give you an edge at key moments. Re-Draft lets you skip a team draw during the draft. Double Sign lets you pick an extra player. Scout reveals your draft options before you choose. Elite Draw guarantees a top-tier team. VAR overturns red cards during a match. Extra Sub gives you an additional substitution.
Player Stats and Ratings
Every player is rated across multiple attributes: overall rating, finishing, creativity, dribbling, defending, penalty taking, goalkeeping, leadership and discipline. Special traits like clutch performer, penalty specialist, prone to injury and hot-headed affect how players perform in key moments.
