Gameplay

You are the manager. Your job is to assemble a squad, pick the right shape and instructions, and beat other managers.

• Players & Ratings — what the numbers on a player card mean.
• Player Styles — the 27 playing styles and what they do.
• Tactics & Formations — shape and team style.
• Matches — how fixtures run from lock to result.

Things to remember

• There is one editable team — the one in Team Management. Every competition uses a locked snapshot of that team at kick-off.
• You don’t manage a separate team per competition. Adjust your shape and lineup in Team Management, and it flows through to whatever fixture is next.
• Matches run on a schedule. Make your changes before the lock time shown on the competition page.
