Starting XI, substitutes and rating

Select the club; the suggested starting XI, the suggested substitutes and the team rating (in possession / out of possession) show on the pitch. With “Current tactic (from the game)” you can compare the real formation in the game with “Compare with suggested”.

Formation editor

1. Drag the cards on the pitch (they snap to the grid), or drag a player from the list onto a card / double-click.
2. Ready-made formations are first made your own with “Copy”; type a “Formation name” and press “Save name”.
3. “Reset selections” removes manual placements and recalculates the suggestion.

Saved tactics and instructions

1. On the “Saved tactics (TACTICS)” card choose a saved tactic from the game; the formation, roles and players are listed.
2. Choose and apply a role, mentality and playing style; the style's preset instructions are applied too.
3. In “Team instructions” choose values for groups such as Tempo and Defensive Line and press “Apply instructions”.
