Matchday question

How do you determine your starting XI every game? What factors into your decisions?

How do you determine your starting XI every game? What factors into your decisions?

Usually in an order, such-as fitness first, then average rating, with strikers though it'll be the goals they've scored etc etc.

Personally, I know which players I consider good enough for the first team. Among them, I sort by form and then make sure that no starter has less than 90% fatigue. Simple as that for league games, for me.

For cup matches, I try to put the absolute best 11 on the field. That includes out of form stars. I feel like stars perform well in the spotlight even if they've been struggling.

I mostly pay attention to the fitness level. I try to keep it above 95% in all cases.

I usually just let the assistant choose, and then double-check his selection. And if the match is of lesser importance, or against a weak team, I tend to put in some players who are lacking match practice or are low in morale, as the probable good result will improve them.

i usually look at the fitness and I know more or less who to play in the starting line up anyway.

I usually dont play a player if they have got a rubbish form, so I give a youngster a chance in their place.
