FootballCoin enters its sixth season and remains committed to innovation within the blockchain space. For example, the lease option was introduced more than two years ago. It allows any users to borrow and lend players and stadium cards from the FootballCoin marketplace.
This gives users access to virtually every card in the game. How exactly do you use the lease option to improve your fantasy football team? And, how do you use it to earn a profit? In this guide, we’re going to find out.
What are FotballCoin cards?
FootballCoin is a fantasy game that runs on its own blockchain. It was started more than six years ago, making it one of the oldest play-to-earn games on Web 3.
The FootballCoin cards are digital assets (or NFTs) that are used to assemble a great fantasy football team or organize a brilliant contest. These cards can be bought from the game’s marketplace or can be leased out for a limited period of time. Why would someone want to do that? Besides being a great game, these things allow you to earn cryptocurrency rewards.
How does it all work? Here’s an example: You want to join the free Premier League contest being held this weekend. You join up and start picking your team. But, just before setting up, you realize that you don’t own a card of Bruno Fernandes. You can’t possibly win without the talented Portuguese playmaker!
There’s a solution! Just head over to the marketplace and see who is leasing out a card of Bruno Fernandes. Let’s see how this works.
What is the FootballCoin lease system?
The FootballCoin lease system allows anyone to borrow a card. For how long? One week, or one game, whichever comes first. In other words, it is a short-term solution. It helps round off your playing squad.
The lease system in FootballCoin works very similarly to the use of DeFi staking on other platforms. It is a way, essentially, to contribute to the FootballCoin ecosystem and to be rewarded for doing so.
However, you can also lease out a stadium card. These cards let you set up your own contests, pick the games, and collect part of the entry fees. It’s another way to easily pick up XFC cryptocurrency.

What cards can be leased?
Both player and stadium cards can be leased in the following way:
- 3*, 4*, and 5* player and stadium cards can be leased from the FootballCoin marketplace using XFC cryptocurrency.
These are leased for use in one contest or for one week, whichever comes first. - 2* player cards can be leased using GOLD in-game currency.
They are leased for a period of six months (from January to June and from July to December). These cards are not issued on the blockchain. - 1* cards are free for any registered user
