Would you believe me, if I said I did this, ranking my team's, my reserve's and U19's best and second best 11, two times each season? I'm currently running a Youth Academy Challenge, so playing time is extremely important for my youth players' development. I've been doing this process of finding the best combination for each squad (not algebraically, just eye balling it as precise as I can) for 11 in game years. I can't believe this tool, it's gonna save me literal dozens of hours of playing time. Thank you so much.
This is insane work, congratulations. I do wonder if adding some kind of artificial score adjustment to different roles could be useful to bring them all kind of on to the same scale. Like maybe all role scores get x 20 / 'max score for role'. Not sure if that would help comparisons a bit or not.
@marimar1093 Definitely, I think the discovery of these differences from working on this feature does highlight a potential issue with the Role score weightings. I might play around with the weightings at some point to try and get all max role scores to get in or around the same max score.
This is great work. Really nice expansion of the tool! I wonder about a few functionalities: 1. Sometimes you have to field a player for various reasons (promise, important unhappy player, ...). Would it make sense to add an option that a certain player has to a) be on the pitch b) be on the pitch in a specific position c) be on the pitch with a specific role, while the rest of the squad is then calculated around that restriction? 2. Does this consider footedness? I can see that it recommend a right foot for my left back, which he is natural at but I need my wing backs to cross the ball so they should be strong with the outside foot. I'd also prefer to habe my IF have the strong foot on the inside of the pitch. So maybe does it make sense to either include footedness or (maybe easier) do the reverse to 1. and disallow a player from playing in a specific position. 3. To not have to re-export the file would it be possible to just mark a player as inelligible at all? Could be that he is out for a week with a minor injury. Again, great work!
Hey! 1. That's something I could possibly add in the future, good idea 2. Not currently, but that's a fair point, it is a little tricky though, I will look into it. I will need to handle inverted wide roles in this implementation too. 3.

Would you believe me too, then?
I second it.
Great video and the explanation, stay healthy bro

Amazing work 👏
I wonder if we will have something like that but with moneyball?
