What is eFPL? 

eFootball Fair Play League

The eFootball Fair Play League (eFPL) is a online eFootball League that is about playing eFootball the way it should be played: fair rules, balanced squads, and authentic PES-style gameplay.

No exploits. No overpowered special cards. Just proper football where everyone is on the same page.

Founded by two former Top 100 players in online divisions, eFPL was created to bring back the spirit of PES were matches are decided by skill, not gimmicks or unfair advantages.

Use only default formations from the in-game list.

• No custom formations.

2) Squads

• No Big Time, Epics, or Showtime players. Very important

🏆 League Format 

How the Season Works

• Leagues & Divisions: eFPL runs with six active leagues: Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire and Crystal for Europe, plus Gold (Americas) and Emerald (Asia–Pacific). All leagues operate independently but follow the same fair-play format.

• Season Format: Each player faces every opponent in their league twice (home and away).

• Season Deadlines: Every season has an official start and end date. All fixtures must be played within this window.

• Mid-season deadline: By the halfway point, every player must have played at least one match against each opponent. Missing this deadline may result in points deductions.

• League Champions: The player finishing top of each league is crowned that league’s Champion. There are no relegations or playoffs. Each league stands on its own.

• Cup Qualifications: Each league’s final table determines entry into post-season cup competitions:
  
  - Top 4 qualify for the Champions Cup
  - 5th to 8th qualify for the Continental Cup
  - 9th and 10th qualify for the Conference Cup

• Americas and Asia Cup: The Gold and Emerald leagues combine for a joint 16-team knockout Cup called the Horizon Cup. The top six from each league qualify automatically, while positions 7th to 10th from both leagues play qualifiers to decide the remaining four spots.

• Cup Structure: All cups are straight knockout tournaments played after the league season ends. Match results may include extra time and penalties if required. Each cup crowns its own champion, separate from the league titles.

• Season Reshuffle: Every three seasons, the player pool will be redrawn to refresh divisions and maintain balanced, competitive leagues.
