Source facts
How do I influence the match while it is in progress?
You can influence matches by dragging Coach Skill Cards onto specific players or areas of the field. This action triggers tactical maneuvers like pressing or counterattacks, and the game slows down while you are dragging a card to help you decide.
What is a good way to approach building my initial squad?
You should focus on recruiting players from various eras and cultures to build your team. It is suggested that you prioritize identifying and utilizing the specific traits and synergies of your players to create a unique and effective lineup for your club.
What activities are available to me when I am not managing a match?
Beyond tactical planning, you can manage your club's daily schedule by training players, recruiting in the reception hall, or handling administration. You can also engage in relaxing activities with your players, such as playing cards or trying your luck with lottery tickets.
