WikiYour team
The team screen is your command centre for the squad: keep an eye on contracts, plan renewals and decide who takes responsibility in set-piece situations.
Squad overview
The overview lists all your players with their contract terms. Tap a player to open his file (strength, special abilities, scouting …). By the way: every player has his own unmistakable portrait – wearing your club's kit. It follows him through the whole app, from the squad to the line-up to the match report.
You can only renew a contract when it expires at the end of the season. Keep an eye on expiring deals so no key player slips away on a free transfer.
Player roles
With player roles you decide who steps up in specific situations. Per club you set:
- Captain (1 player).
- Penalty takers – up to 5, in priority order.
- Free-kick takers – up to 3.
- Corner takers – up to 3.
In the match the nominated takers step up first – in the order you chose, as long as they're on the pitch. If none is nominated (or none is currently in the line-up), the match engine picks a suitable taker automatically.
Nominate your penalty and free-kick specialists as takers – that way set pieces go to the players who convert them most reliably. A crossing specialist as corner taker pays off too.
The captain — more than set pieces
The captain isn't just a fallback set-piece taker – he brings two real effects to the pitch:
- Final-phase boost: if your captain is still on the pitch from the 80th minute (not substituted, not sent off), the whole team gets +3% line-up strength – leadership when it matters most.
- Leader, extended: if the captain also carries the Leader ability, its strength bonus applies to the entire team, not just his line.
Make an experienced, high-strength player with stamina your captain – ideally a Leader who stays on until the final whistle.
Youth & development
Alongside the first team, the team area also holds your youth. Spotting talents early and developing them through training saves a lot of money on the transfer market in the long run.
Keep your set-piece takers up to date (e.g. after transfers), renew important contracts in time, and use the player file to really know your key players and their attributes.
Squad numbers
Use the Edit numbers button in the squad to give every player his own shirt number. Numbers already taken are swapped automatically when tapped — so duplicates are impossible.
