Field notes
The match interface shows a live text feed alongside possession, shots and expected-goals figures, with an option to skip to the end. Club management extends beyond tactics: the page describes academy development, loans, ticket prices, stadium expansion and a ledger for tickets, TV, sponsors and costs. It lists ten formations and says the same match seed produces the same result.
