FIFA Fantasy is the official global game — free, beautifully built, and made for football fans who want to manage a squad all tournament. Sweepup is a paid B2B product made for the colleague who'd never download the FIFA app but absolutely will pick Brazil over Cameroon if you put a code in front of them. Here's the honest read on which is right for your office.
Each player creates a FIFA ID, picks a 15-player squad with a budget, manages transfers every gameweek, watches their global rank. Beautifully made. Free.
One code, one click to join, one prediction per match. Built so the 50 colleagues who'd never download the FIFA app can play alongside the 5 who would.

Real talk: most offices have both. The 3-5 football mads keep their FIFA Fantasy teams. The other 45-90 colleagues sit out unless you run something they can actually join in 30 seconds. That's what Sweepup is for.
