Four football dailies: rare answers, a derby draft, a mystery player and a club grid
on derbydraft.app
NewDerby Draft is a free football site with four daily challenges that every player gets the same each day. Name rare answers to six quick prompts, draft an all-time XI from a set derby, guess a footballer from his clubs and fill a 3x3 club grid. Live duels, cups and friend leagues sit alongside.
About Derby Draft
Derby Draft is a football game site run by CardFix, a company reached at a Danish address. It plays in the browser on a phone or a desktop, and the dailies reset at midnight in Copenhagen with one attempt each.
The headline daily is "Daily Goal". You get six football prompts, such as a club currently in the Premier League, and 25 seconds for each. You can keep typing until an answer is accepted, and the rarer it is the more it scores: 10, 30, 60 or 85 points, or 100 for the single rarest answer to that prompt. Rarity is estimated from Wikipedia page views and the answers players give. Up to 20 extra points come from speed, and today's top ten shows on the start screen.
"Daily Derby" picks one rivalry a day for everyone. On 8 November 2026 it was Liverpool against Everton, and on 9 November the North West Derby, Liverpool against Manchester United. At each of eleven positions you tap a slot and choose between two players, one from each club, with their ratings hidden. A gold "Legend" frame marks a club great. You get three rerolls, and a 15 second timer per pick can be switched on. Once all eleven are in, you see a grade for your XI and a simulated result.
"Daily Player" opens with a nationality and a first senior club (Brazil and Bahia on 9 November 2026). You have six guesses, and each miss adds a step of the player's career, with his position shown after four strikes. "Daily Grid" is a 3x3 board with a label on each row and column. Clubs and positions both turn up, so the grid of 9 November crossed Manchester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Sporting CP with midfielder, attacker and defender. Name a player who fits both for each cell, with nine attempts in all.
Around the dailies there are free drafts of 37 rivalries across 70 clubs or your own matchup, live 1v1 drafts, eight-player cups, a Grid Duel against another player, a weekly score prediction game for members and private leagues that reset each Monday. You can play the dailies as a guest. A free account keeps your stats and badges. The optional Derby Pass ($3 a month) adds unlimited extra rounds and access to the archive of past Daily Goals, which can also be bought once for $5.
It suits football fans who know their squads and like to be scored against everyone else on the same day.
How to play Derby Draft
- Open derbydraft.app and pick a daily: Daily Goal, Daily Derby, Daily Player or Daily Grid. You can dismiss the account offer and play as a guest.
- In Daily Goal, enter a nickname and start. Type answers to each of the six prompts within 25 seconds, aiming for the rarest correct answer you can think of.
- In Daily Derby, tap an empty position and pick one of the two players offered, one from each club. Use your three rerolls on a pair you dislike, then read your team's grade and result.
- In Daily Player, read the nationality and first club, then name a player. Each miss reveals more of his career, and you have six guesses.
- In Daily Grid, tap a cell and name a player who fits both its row and its column, such as a club and a position. Fill all nine with nine attempts.

Tips
- In Daily Goal a common answer still banks points, so give one early if a rare name will not come and keep the clock moving.
- The training round of Daily Goal does not count on the leaderboard, so use it to see the prompt style first.
- In Daily Derby the ratings are hidden, so a gold "Legend" frame is the one hint that a club great is on offer.
