You can also watch your most recent game by clicking on the Watch button, this is handy if you want to watch this game before you see the results page.

The date and time till the next fixtures are due to be played is displayed.

Information about the Tournament and, if the Tournament has a Transfer Market, a list of transfer activity is also shown.

At the top of the screen are a number of buttons with which you can navigate around the other screens in the system.

This screen shows the fixture list for your team and the results and scorers of matches already played.
Clicking on the Watch button allows you to watch the match highlights of any of the games already played.
The Select button takes you to the Team Selection screen to prepare for your next game.

 

Match Highlights

The match is displayed as a series of action highlights which you can control using a video recorder type control panel.

 

Team Selector

Here you can move players about within your squad to choose the optimum team to face the opposition.
Click on the symbol at the left of each player name to focus on them, then choose whether to Select them into the starting 11, add them to the Sub bench, or Drop them into the available reserves.

By switching to Opposition Mode you can have a guess at what the opposition manager might do. You can use this to determine the most important players to counter and to help choose your line-up so that you get the maximum chances of winning.

The Tactical summary gives you some information to help assess how strong your team is in comparison to the opposition. Basic indexes on Defence, Midfield, and Attack + an overall figure plus a zonal strength indicator where the more blue you see means the better you are doing. How you choose to use these indicators is up to you, more help and hints may be published elsewhere on how to pick the best team.
