Use positions and nationalities together
The pitch shows how the players are arranged. A nationality in one position may fit many teams; the full combination of goalkeeper, defence, midfield and attack is much more distinctive.
Name the club
Enter the club you think matches the displayed lineup. Think about recognisable partnerships, unusual nationality combinations and the shape a team used in that era.
Identify the season
The exact season earns bonus points. Players and systems change over time, so place the lineup in the right year instead of relying on the club name alone. Follow the answer controls shown in the game.
Keep the pitch in view
On a phone, the pitch stays upright while you type. You can practise Formation in Solo or select it for a multiplayer room with friends.
