The match screen, its tabs and the guided tour

Six panels on one page: match details, feed, facts, lineup, payment and the key to every marker. Plus the tour you can run again whenever you like.

Everything about a match is on one screen: six panels, one under another, with a row of tabs to move between them.

The match screen as it opens: the Match Settings heading, the six tabs, START MATCH, and the MATCH DETAILS card showing the teams, the score and a countdown to kick-off.

The six tabs

A tab jumps you down to its panel. Scrolling gets you there too.

The tab strip: MATCH DETAILS, FEED, FACTS, LINEUP, PAYMENT and KEYS, with KEYS outlined.

  1. MATCH DETAILS is the top of the page: the two teams, the score and the countdown. Underneath is a row of details - the leaderboard, the date, the venue, the pitch, the kick-off time, the team size and the duration.

  2. FEED is the match's diary. Before kick-off it holds your note to the squad and a livestream panel. Once the match starts, every goal and card lands here.

    The FEED panel before kick-off: the note to the squad, the livestream panel, and a Comment button.

  3. FACTS holds two panels. Insights is five sentences per team about their last five games. Statistics so far is each team's record in this leaderboard, side by side.

    The FACTS panel: Insights on the left as coloured sentences per team, Statistics so far on the right as two columns of figures.

  4. LINEUP is both teams' pitches, their formations, their benches and their squads.

    The LINEUP FORMATIONS panel: two green pitches side by side with five players each, a Formation control above each, substitutes below, and both squad lists.

  5. PAYMENT is where you ask your squad for match fees. You only ever see your own payment details here.

  6. KEYS explains every marker on the page. Eleven of them.

    The KEYS panel: pills for Player, Player Online, Player Offline, Spectator, Referee, Yellow Card, Red Card, Player Of The Match, Captain, Registered and Registered & Accepted.

The guided tour

The first time you open a match, a three-step tour points at the main panels. You can run it again at any time.

  1. Select the ? at the top right of the match.

    Tour step one over the MATCH DETAILS panel, reading "Check your Home and Away teams, match details and the scores", with Skip Tour and Next. The ? button in the header is outlined.

  2. Select Next to move to the feed.

    Tour step two over the FEED panel, reading "Add comments with other players and see match updates like who scored", with Back and Next.

  3. Select Next again for the lineup, then Finish.

    Tour step three over the LINEUP panel, reading "Manage your team and formations", with Back and Finish.

What you will see

The heading tells you what you can do. Match Settings means you run this team and can change things. Match Preview means you can look and nothing more.

The tour covers three panels, not six. It says nothing about FACTS, PAYMENT or KEYS.

Every panel has a VIEW KEYS button. It takes you to the KEYS panel, so you never have to hunt for what a marker means.

If it does not work

  • The venue reads "Location not set" and the away team says "Add Away Team". The page has opened before it finished loading your teams. Go to Teams and come back.

  • There is no ? button. You are not the Owner or an Administrator of either team. The tour is only offered to people who can change the match.

  • Insights and Statistics so far are both empty. The match is not in a leaderboard. Add one, and both panels fill in.
