# Learning The Game

Everything you need to know to build a squad and start scoring in GameDay Squad Gridiron.

Your squad is 18 players, all of them on the field and all of them scoring, backed by an unlimited Reserves list. Two of those 18 slots are flexible, so the same player card can fill more than one hole in your squad. Every card you own carries a salary cost and a score multiplier set by its rarity, and those two numbers decide which competitions you can enter and how much every stat your players record is worth to you.

Work through the pages in this section in order and you will have everything you need for Round 1.
