How it works

Think like a manager, not a button-masher.

STEP 1
🔍

Scout the opponent

Read their formation, pressing, line, tempo and which flank they defend badly. Reports get thinner as you progress.

STEP 2
📋

Set tactics and roles

Choose a shape and team instructions, then give every player a role: sweeper keeper, inverted full-back, false nine and more.

STEP 3
⏱

Manage live

Pause any time, adjust, make substitutions and react as the opponent adapts. Then read the post-match tactical report.

Built for tactics fans

Every setting has a counter. Every counter has a cost.

🧠

Real tactical logic

High press beats slow build-up. Direct play beats the press. Wide play breaks a low block. Get it wrong and you will see why.

👟

Individual roles

Each position has its own job, and roles change where players stand and how they react to the opponent.

🏃

Stamina and subs

Pressing hard and playing fast drains your legs. Manage fatigue or collapse late.

🔁

Two-legged ties

Round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals over two legs. Level on aggregate after 90? Extra time, then penalties.

🥅

Penalty shootouts

Pick your corner, read the taker's tell and dive the right way when it matters most.

📈

Post-match report

See which tactics and roles helped or hurt you, ranked by minutes, so every run teaches you something.

Teams good enough to reach the big night.

FINAL

The champions

The winners. One match, extra time, penalties.
