Team Selection and Tactics

When you select a club, the suggested starting XI, suggested substitutes and team rating show on the pitch. With "Current tactic (from the game)" you can compare the real formation in the game using "Compare with suggested".

Cards snap to the grid when you drag them; you can drag a player from the list onto a card on the pitch or double-click. Ready-made formations first become your own with "Copy"; type a "Formation name" and press "Save name". "Reset selections" removes manual placements and recalculates the suggestion.

Formations are only stored in this application and are not written to the game, so no license is needed.

On the "Saved tactics (TACTICS)" card you choose a saved tactic from the game; the formation, roles and players are listed. Role, mentality and playing style (for example Vertical Tiki-Taka) are applied separately; the style's preset instructions are applied too.

The change is written to all copies of the tactic as a single undo step.

In the "Team instructions (TACTICS → Team Instructions)" section of the saved tactic card you choose the values you want. The change shows in the game under TACTICS → Team Instructions.

Change cohesion with the slider on the team card and fill familiarity with "Fill tactical familiarity" (your own team only). The game screen updates when a day advances.
