Experience and organisation

Team disorganisation can take away up to a third of your performance. Formation experience, player experience and the captain keep it at bay.

It can happen at any minute. The "negative experience" (nervousness) message has the same effect and depends on the experience of both teams.

Team experience and captain

(experience of the 11 + captain's experience) / 12 × (1 − (7 − captain's leadership) / 20)
  • "Negative experience" can only happen in cups, qualification matches, ladders, tournaments and national teams, never in league or friendlies.
  • The captain counts twice. Pick whoever maximises the formula (about 3 × leadership + 2 × experience): the automatic captain is not always the best. Calculator in the Calculators section.

  • Every 10 minutes with a formation it goes up one "block": 1/3 of a level at the bottom, 1/6 of a level from Excellent upwards.
  • After every match all formations lose one block (except those at the minimum, average Poor). Nothing is gained in extra time.
