1 / SUMMARY

Difference at a glance

SHORT ANSWER

Sosyal Lig style: the same star can sit on many rosters. Mass competition and prize culture. Piyasa: snake draft, one player on one team per league, friend or commissioner league, no betting.

OWNERSHIP

Shared

Everyone can take the same star, depending on format. Rosters look alike.

OWNERSHIP

Exclusive

If you drafted them, they are yours. Nobody else gets them until a trade or drop.

ENTRY

Budget / pick

Build a roster under weekly or season limits.

ENTRY

Draft night

Live order, social tension, a 14-player roster in one sitting.

2 / MECHANICS

How the game flows

In shared fantasy, skill means picking the right XI from a pool everyone shares. In exclusive draft, skill is pick management plus trade negotiation. Stealing sleepers, creating scarcity, reading free agents mid-season. That is Piyasa’s language.

The weekly shape stays familiar: 1 GK / 4 DEF / 3 MID / 3 FWD, bench, lock at kick-off, head-to-head matchup. The difference is how the roster is born and how it changes.

  • Draft: snake, exclusive ownership
  • Scoring: points from the pitch
  • Season: trades and free agents

3 / SOCIAL

The WhatsApp group test

If your group only asks “who won this week?”, both formats work. If you want “is that star on your team or mine?”, you need draft. Exclusive ownership pulls the chat out of a spreadsheet and into ego. That is why friend leagues stick.

Mass leagues have another strength: huge fields, prize talk, open leaderboards. Piyasa does not chase that race. It runs the 8-12 person commissioner season.

4 / MONEY

Prize and betting line

Piyasa does not offer real-money betting or cash prizes. On purpose. Paid products do not lock the core game:

  • League Pro: commissioner opens a league (per season)
  • Premium: manager decision tools (yearly)

More on Premium and why this is not betting.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Is Sosyal Lig bad?

No. It is strong for mass, prize-driven, shared-star formats. Piyasa does different work: friend draft leagues.

Can I play both?

Yes. Many managers keep a mass league for open competition and draft for group ego.

Does Piyasa pay prizes?

No. On purpose. No real-money betting. No cash prizes.

I do not know draft. Is it hard?

Snake draft is one night. Then you are back to weekly starting XI and trade tempo.
