A crowded friends list in Monopoly Go can get annoying fast. Maybe someone traded stickers with you once, maybe they stopped playing months ago, or maybe you just don't want to see them around when you're setting up a Monopoly Go Partners Event with people you actually know will show up. Removing a friend is usually straightforward, but it won't solve every social problem in the game. The big catch is that friends and event teammates aren't treated as the same thing.

Remove a player from your friends list.

Take a minute to make sure you're removing the right account. Some players have similar names, and it's easy to tap too quickly when the leaderboard is busy. Once you've found the player, follow these steps in order.

1. Open Monopoly Go and stay on the main game screen.
2. Tap the Friends button near the bottom of the screen.
3. Go to the Leaderboard area, where your connected players are listed.
4. Scroll until you find the person you want to remove.
5. Tap their profile card or the small options button beside their name.
6. Choose Remove, then accept the confirmation message if the game asks you to confirm it.

After that, the player should no longer appear as one of your friends. If their name is still sitting there, don't panic. Close the app completely, reopen it, and check again. Monopoly Go can be slow to refresh social changes now and then. Removing someone doesn't undo old shutdown attacks, sticker trades, or rewards they've already collected. It just cuts the normal friend connection. They can also send a new request later, so you may need to ignore it if you don't want them added again.

Team events are where things get frustrating. Removing a person from your friends list usually won't kick them out of an active race team, partner group, or other event squad. If they joined and then disappeared, they may keep that slot until the event ends. There's often no captain control for replacing an inactive teammate once the competition has started. Before an event goes live, it's smarter to invite people who answer messages and confirm they'll play. Don't fill an empty slot with a random account just because the space is there. If the team is still in its setup period, leaving and rebuilding may be possible, though it can be risky. Check the event rules first.

If you're planning ahead, treat your friends list as basic housekeeping and your event team as something more serious. Keep reliable players close, remove accounts you don't recognise, and agree on participation before anyone joins. Players looking to buy Monopoly Go Racer Event resources should still make sure their teammates are active, because no amount of extra flags fixes a wasted team space.
