[Suggestion] Enhanced Team Report/Squad Depth

[Powermonger]

I would like to suggest an improvement to or an additional team/squad depth report. Currently we have both an over team report and the best XI, we also have individual player reports. I'd like to suggest a new report which combines all these reports together.

The report would be structured as per the new Best XI report screen, with the best players listed for each position. Under the players will be some basic information such as age, nationality, value and star rating. After this there is a mini strengths & weaknesses list under the player, perhaps listing the top 3 or 5 of each of these. The strengths and weaknesses though listed under the player should be purely position/tactical focused, such as descriptions of their passing, tacking, creativity, defending or attacking qualities etc. There should also be new graphical indicators of preferred roles, moves and/or player instructions also listed underneath the players.

On the left and right of the players formation report, key items from the overall team report can also be listed.

The main idea is to provide us as manager a specialised player and position specific report, laid out in our chosen formation arrangement so we can see who the best players are at each position and what strengths and weaknesses they bring to it. For more detailed information we can drill in to the overall team report, the players report or the players profile. The same sort of report could also be constructed from the currently picked starting 11 for quick evaluation or reference.

An extra bonus would be the ability top share this report with others on the internet to illustrate our basic formation and what our best XI bring to it.

I wanted to expand on the more detailed squad depth view above.

When a position is clicked on in the squad depth view, FM then drills into the position in more detail and provides an tree hierarchy view of players for that position. The Best XI player for that position is at the top of the tree and then the next best is linked below, and so on and so forth. If players are rated the same then there is a branch and they are displayed on the same line.

As per above, each player is detailed in an information box that includes key personal and position information, as well as reports on key attributes for the particular position and role that was drilled into. In essence it allows us to do an overall comparison of our players that can player in a position for our tactic.

Just getting back to revisiting this suggestion to add a a graphical mock-up of the idea to illustrate it better.

What we currently see in the Best XI Squad Depth view:

This image below is to illustrate a more detailed information box for a player at a position for the best XI Squad Depth view:

All players shown at the positions in the Best XI Squad Depth view would be presented like this so we can get an overview of the Best XI players strengths and weaknesses.
