The magic of 7a0 — Icons Football Draft is right there in the name: the icons. Instead of a faceless pool of players, this fantasy football draft game lets you draft from a roster of footballing legends, each with a role to play in your dream XI. This guide explains how to value those icons and turn a great roster into a winning team.

Why drafting football legends is so addictive

Every football fan has argued about the greatest players of all time. 7a0 turns that debate into a game: you get to draft the legends you rate, drop them into your formation, and prove your picks on the pitch. That mix of nostalgia, strategy, and bragging rights is exactly what makes drafting icons so hard to put down.

Every icon brings something different

It is tempting to draft only the biggest attacking names, but a smart football draft strategy values every type of icon:

  • Match-winners: the game-changing forwards who decide tight games.
  • Engine-room icons: midfield generals who quietly control every match.
  • Defensive legends: the dependable defenders who win you points by conceding none.

Learning to rate the unglamorous icons as highly as the flashy ones is what separates good drafters from great ones.

Build around one star, then complete the picture

A reliable approach is to draft one standout icon early — the player your whole XI will revolve around — and then draft players who make that star shine. A world-class striker needs a creative playmaker feeding him. A ball-playing centre-back frees your midfield to push forward. Every pick after your first should answer a simple question: does this icon make my team better as a unit?

Do not sleep on versatility

Icons who can cover more than one position are gold in a draft. As the board thins out and your first-choice options disappear, a versatile pick can slot into whatever gap you still need to fill. When two icons look equal, take the one who gives you more tactical flexibility.

Chemistry beats a collection of names

Eleven superstars who do not fit together will lose to a balanced side that plays as a team. Think about how your icons combine: pace on the wings to stretch defences, a target man to hold the ball up, a metronome in midfield to keep possession. A team with a clear identity almost always beats a random all-star list.
