Setting Your Lineup Before the Deadline
Match Day
Setting Your Lineup
Your lineup must be submitted before the match deadline. Here's how to get it right.
Selecting Your Starting Eleven
- Go to the Squad page
- Click on position slots to assign players
- Choose from available players for each position
- Make sure all 11 starting positions are filled
- Select your substitutes from remaining squad members
Position Compatibility
Players perform best in their natural position:
- Natural position - 100% PS
- Compatible position - 85% PS
- Out of position - 75% PS
Check each player's position flags to avoid penalties.
The Deadline
- The match deadline is shown at the top of the Squad and Match pages
- If you don't submit a lineup, your previous lineup will be used
- If you have no previous lineup, a default selection is made automatically
Tips
- Always check for injured or suspended players before submitting
- Review the scout report and adjust your lineup accordingly
- Make sure your bench has positional cover (at least one defender, midfielder, and attacker)
