About BALLKNW
BALLKNW makes free football games you play in the browser: quick daily puzzles, draft boards you can send to a mate, quizzes, and Gaffa, a full football manager. Nothing to download and nothing to pay.
The games
- Daily games. Five games, new every day at midnight UK time and the same for everyone: Daily Draft, Deep Cut, Crowd Favourite, 60 Seconds and Higher or Lower. Keep a streak and see how many players you beat.
- Draft games. 18 boards with different targets: transfer fees, market values, caps, FPL prices, ratings, goals and more. Spin clubs, sign a 4-4-2 and land on the number.
- 1v1 challenges. After any draft, send a mate a link to the exact same board. Your score stays hidden until they finish, then you both see who got closer.
- Gaffa. Our football manager: 492 real clubs and 13,346 players across 28 leagues in 25 countries. Tactics, transfers, contracts, cups and youth development, season after season. It plays offline once you have opened it.
- Quizzes. Type-in quizzes against the clock.
Sharing your result
Every daily game and draft ends with a result you can copy or send straight to WhatsApp, Snapchat or X. Drafts also give you a 1v1 link. There is a BALLKNW Discord for posting results and arguing about them.
Accounts
You can play everything without an account. A free account (email and password) gets you on the daily leaderboards and backs your Gaffa career up across devices. In Gaffa, after two days of play you need a free account to start a new season; your save is never deleted either way.
Where the data comes from
Gaffa's squads and player ratings follow the EA Sports FC 27 database, with contracts, wages and values carried over from FC 26 where a player appears in both. The draft games use public sources such as Transfermarkt, Fantasy Premier League and Wikipedia, and each board says which one it uses.
