Matches and tactics

Your club plays one league match a day, at 19:00 Lisbon time. Matches are 7-a-side: a goalkeeper, two defenders, two midfielders and two attackers.

Before kick-off

  • A league match takes 25 energy at kick-off. With too little energy your player still plays, but tires sooner.
  • Pick a play style: Balanced, Take players on, Pass first or Shoot on sight. It locks at kick-off. If nobody picks one, the club plays Balanced.
  • The captain or the owner sets the lineup and the formation. A player out of position plays at 85%, and bots fill any empty place.

The broadcast

Everyone in the match watches the same live broadcast. Until full time you cannot skip ahead or speed it up, but you can pause and go back to live. After full time you can watch it again at double speed and read the stats. The result counts whether you watched or not.

What a match pays

  • Coins for the result: 100 for a win, 60 for a draw, 30 for a loss.
  • Extra coins for a rating above 6 and for each goal, plus your contract wage.
  • Fame for a rating of 8 or more, and reputation, which brings offers from bigger clubs.

Friendlies

A friendly is an instant match against a club of your league. It costs 15 energy and pays half the rewards, with no wage. Use it when you want to play now.

Ratings run from 3 to 10 and start at 6. Your attributes decide each duel, so training still matters most.
