Squad Selection
This is where you can make decisions on which of your players you want to be part of the upcoming tournament squad.
The view on this page allows you to have a clear glance at which players you have bench/unbenched and then also if they have a upcoming feature in the current tournament.
Tournament Squad Cap (75 Players)
Each tournament has a 75-player cap. This means only up to 75 of your players can earn rewards in a tournament.
Manage your squad via the Selection tab on the Squad page.
A progress bar shows how many players are currently entered. It turns red if you exceed 75.
All players are active/unbenched by default.
DNP and No Contract players do not count toward your 75-player cap.
After 75 players have entered the pitch, any additional players will not contribute to your rewards.
If a player is sold after entering the pitch, they still count toward your Active Players, but their performance score is removed from your total points for qualification.
Bench System
You can now bench players to exclude them from your active tournament squad.
Manage benches directly from the Selection page by tapping to bench/unbench players.
Benched players do not consume contracts and are excluded from rewards.
Once you confirm your squad selection, it stays locked until you make changes - there’s no need to update every game week unless you want to.
Bench Edge Cases
If you have more than 75 players and do not bench anyone, the system will automatically register the first 75 players who enter the pitch as your active squad.
In cases where multiple matches start at the same time, the system will snapshot players in the order that OPTA data is received.
For example, if four matches kick off at 4 PM but the data is received in the order Game 2 → Game 1 → Game 4 → Game 3, the system will follow that same order.
If multiple players are involved in the same match, the system will prioritise to which player has the better average performance over the last 5 matches when finalizing your squad selection.
