Manage the match live
The match runs slowly so you can read possession, shots, xG, passes and corners before changing tactics or opening the substitution panel. Players removed from the match cannot return.
A more realistic simulation model
Team rating, squad quality, tactical style, fatigue, score state and pressure all influence chance volume. Strong teams usually control more of the ball, but underdogs can still win through counters, set pieces and shootouts.
