# Squads: Football

Your squad is the collection of player shares you use to compete in tournaments. Managing it well is core to finishing consistently.

### In the app

> Navigation guide coming soon. This section will show you exactly where to find this in the app.

### TL;DR

* Your squad is the collection of player shares you use to compete
* A maximum of **75 players** from your squad can earn rewards in a single tournament
* Bench players to take them out of tournament eligibility without releasing them. Benched players do not consume contracts.
* Manage selection and bench from the Selection page

***

### The Squad page

The Squad page shows your full squad. Key information per player:

* Shares held and eligibility status
* Squad value (market value of your shares)
* Price change over the last 24 hours
* Contracts remaining
* Recent form

Filter by position, league, form, contracts, or holdings to find what you need quickly.

### Tournament squad cap

Only 75 players from your squad can earn rewards in a single tournament. This is managed via Squad, then Selection.

Key rules:

* All players are active and unbenched by default
* Players with no contracts or marked DNP do not count toward the 75-player cap
* Once 75 players have entered the pitch during the tournament window, any further players do not contribute to your rewards, even if they play

***

### The bench

Benching a player removes them from tournament eligibility without releasing them.

* Manage the bench from the Selection page. Tap a player to bench or unbench them.
* Benched players do not consume contracts
* Benched players do not count toward your 75-player cap
* Once you confirm your selection, it stays in place until you change it. You do not need to update it every week unless you want to make changes.

Use the bench to protect contracts on players you are not targeting in a given tournament, or to stop fringe players from filling your 75-player cap.
