FAQ

Frequently asked questions about matchday planning

How do I create a line-up?

Pick a formation and drag players from the bench onto the pitch – with player photos or shirt numbers, whichever you prefer. The line-up assistant shows you suitable players per position, secondary positions included.

Do my players see the line-up immediately?

No – you decide: squad planning and line-up stay internal until you publish the squad. Only then do your players see it in the player app.

What happens if a player doesn’t answer?

MatchPlanner automatically reminds players without an answer before the deadline runs out, and you can always see who is still open. If need be, you enter an answer on their behalf – say, after a phone call.

Can I plan friendlies too?

Yes, friendlies are their own match type with the same planning – from squad planning to the result. If you like, you can exclude them from the season record and statistics.
