A closer look

The subs, worked out for you.

Pick the kick-off seven and Generate Rotation plans the rest: who comes on when, so every player gets fair minutes. Then the game plan and the minutes are there to check before kick-off.

The Generate Rotation screen with Fair Minutes and keep-goalkeeper switches, a max-subs stepper and an out-of-position list
Generate Rotation: fair minutes, keep the keeper in goal, a cap on subs per change — and it flags anyone playing out of position.
A fixture’s Game Plan view listing substitutions and position switches at 20 and 40 minutes
The game plan: every change by minute, who comes off for whom, and who switches position.
A fixture’s Minutes view listing every player and the minutes they will play
Minutes per player, so nobody goes home having barely played.

Print the match plan as a PDF.

Every fixture has a Share Match Plan (PDF) option. It prints the fixture sheet, the running order of lineups and substitutions, and a page per lineup — the three pages below — for the clipboard on the touchline.
