Team Management

Ok, after that journey through our office, we are ready to start our main business here.

Again, I will divide this into sub-sections, so I can explain in detail every part of this section.

Squad

This screen is divided by right-half and left-half. At the left-half you will always see your line-up, which you can navigate with the up and down buttons.

Now, the right-half is where you can do me magic... To navigate through those options you can use the left/right triggers, and to modify those options use the white/black buttons.

The right-half options are:

• Formation
• Comparison
  (To compare two players' statistics)
• Chemistry
  (See how the chemistry is composed, and see how much a player can influence on the team chemistry)

Kick Takers

As you have complete control over your team, you need to decide the players duties. Note that if you replace a player with duties from the line-up, the game will automatically assign the duties to another player.

• Left Corner
• Right Corner
• Free kicks (The second player is not assigned here)
• Penalties

Edit Kit Number

This was one of the things that last year career was lacking. But now you can assign any number from 01 to 99 to any player. And the best is that you can assign numbers at any time you want, this means that you don't have to wait until the season ends to change it (like the Master League).

You will see a chart with all the numbers from 01 to 99. The numbers in red are the numbers that are already in use. You can assign a number that is already in use, but the player that were using that number will then be using the next unused number.

I haven't noticed any difference when a player is wearing the 10 in his kit, but I've heard rumors about it, so if anybody can prove that this in fact makes a difference please send me an e-mail!

Player Contracts

If you want to know how many years remaining has a player in his contract, you need to come to this option.

The information that this option will show you is:

• Contract (years remaining)
• Salary per game
• Market Value (very handy if you plan to sell a player)
• Renewal Cost
• Per Clean Sheet (GK/DEF) or Per Goal (MID/ST)

Contract Alerts

If you have players that have just one year left on his contract, or if there's a player that is about to retire, you will be informed in this screen.

If the player has just one year left, you can renew his contract here, but if the player is about to retire, there's nothing you can do.

Export Team

Want to use your career team against your friends? You can import your current career team and save it so you can use it just like if you were using any other team in the game.
