So you want to navigate these treacherous waters and divine the future of the beautiful game? Follow my orders, and you'll be swimming in braggin' rights in no time. Here be the lay of the land:
First, you must choose a sea to chart (a football league). Hit 'Plunder The Depths' to send yer crew to fetch ancient scrolls (years of historical match data) and store 'em in yer ship's hold (your browser). This booty is what we'll use to feed the Kraken!
Once the hold is full, it's time to 'Awaken the Kraken'! The great beastie will devour the scrolls, learning the secrets of every past battle. Once its nine brains are full, it'll be ready for divinin'.
With a trained Kraken at yer command, use the spyglass to 'Spot Upcoming Skirmishes'. Be aware, the spyglass can only see through the mists of time from **the morrow onwards** – it cannot be used to find skirmishes happenin' today.
This be the heart of it all. For the cost of one credit, you can unlock a skirmish for a full analysis. Once unlocked, you must consult yer crew:
After a skirmish is over, the true result will be fetched. Points are awarded in the 'Captain's Log' based on accuracy, with bonuses for callin' a tough fight or an upset! Climb the 'Hall of Fame' (the Leaderboard) and become a legend of the high seas!
Feeling bold? Visit the 'Kraken's Helm' to take the wheel yourself. Here you can teach the Kraken new tricks by changing its training diet or telling it which of its many senses to trust. Experiment with different 'Archetypes' to find a strategy that works for ye!
Now get to it, the tides wait for no pirate!
