Formations

Set up your team in seconds.

Pick a shape – 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 3-5-2 and more, from 11-a-side down to 5-a-side – and your squad drops straight into place. Drag anyone anywhere and they snap neatly into position.

Drawing

Show the runs, not just the shape.

Sketch overlaps, pressing triggers and runs in behind straight onto the pitch. Freehand pen, arrows and dashed runs in four colours, with undo when the first attempt doesn't land.

Squad

Your squad, ready every week.

Add your players once with shirt numbers and positions. Mark someone injured and they're left out of every line-up until they're back. Subs sit on the bench, one tap from coming on.
