How our weight loss football league works
Pitch goals
Seven-a-side on Monday nights. Every goal scored on the night counts, like any other league.
Scales goals
The weigh-in before kick-off. Players who lose weight add goals for their team; players who gain weight cost them. Hit 5% or 10% and you get a milestone.
Final score
Pitch goals plus scales goals, plus tracking points. A team can lose on the pitch and still win the match at the scales. That is why the Overall table can look different from the Pitch table.

About MAN v FAT St Helens
MAN v FAT St Helens is a football league for men who want to lose weight and get fitter. It runs on the MAN v FAT format, where results are decided on the pitch and on the scales. You don't need to be good at football, and you don't need to be fit to start. You just need to turn up on a Monday and give it a go.
A football league built around weight loss
Every match night starts with a weigh-in. Players who lose weight earn goals for their team, and players who put weight on cost them. Then it's 7-a-side football. The final score adds both together, so a team can lose the game and still win the night because they lost more weight. You play for your teammates as well as yourself, which is what keeps people coming back.
Where and when we play in St Helens
We play every Monday evening at St Cuthberts School in St Helens, with kick-offs from 7pm to 8:30pm. There are eight teams in the league, and each season runs for around fourteen weeks with full league tables, results and player stats on this site.
More than a Monday night league
Alongside the league we run an 11-a-side team in the Northern Wellbeing League, play friendlies against other MAN v FAT clubs, and raise money for local charities. Our news section has healthy recipes and weight loss tips to help between match nights.
