Inside the Lab
01 · Squad
Drop or paste a table exported from the game or copied from a spreadsheet. Players, positions, attributes, stats, contracts and values are read, and the next table of the same squad updates the same men. Edit it like a spreadsheet.
02 · Tactics
Lay out each tactic on the position grid Football Manager players know, with and without the ball, and put your players on the tokens. The Structure panel reads the shape live on a 105 by 68 metre pitch.
03 · Depth
Every man rated for every slot of your tactic, the best eleven picked from the whole squad, and who comes in when a starter is missing. Role weights are on show and yours to change.
04 · Scouting
Import or type your shortlist and rank it for the slot you need. Every target shows his fit, the upgrade over your starter and the next man, and what each fit point costs.
05 · Compare
Your striker against the target, or four prospects at once: attributes side by side, one radar, and each man’s fit in every slot of your tactic.
06 · Stats
Stats from any table or typed in, per 90 over a minutes floor you set, with percentiles against the list you choose. Plot any stat against any other, with the names on the dots.
07 · Testing
Log each match in seconds with the tactic you played. Points per game and xG difference come with a 95% range, and A against B says plainly whether the gap is real or still noise.
08 · Progress
Each import or manual record is kept on its in-game date. Pick two and see every man’s change over the attributes recorded on both, with the young players tracked over time. Recorded, never predicted.
09 · Plan
Contracts end, players age, sales and loans happen. The Plan shows this season and the next two with your moves applied: XI fit, thin slots, average age, contracts ending and the wage bill.
10 · Seasons
Log each season: where you finished, what you won, the tactic and the eleven that did it, and a note. Any season becomes a recap card to share.
11 · Share
Your tactic with the men and our numbers on it, the squad radar, a compare card, the scatter, the testing card, progress and the season recap. Portrait or landscape PNG, and a possession loop film of the move between shapes.
How your numbers get in
Any view you can print or export from the game, or cells copied from a spreadsheet. Console and mobile players type straight in.
A preview shows what was read and what was skipped, before anything is saved. The same squad next month updates the same players.
Fit, depth, structure, scouting and stats update as you change a value, a role or a token. Every rating names what moved it.
Yours, and honest
Plans
Free to start.
Beginner keeps 2 saves with every tab. Amateur and Pro keep as many saves as you like, next to every other tool in the studio.
Saves belong to your account. They are never pooled, never searchable by other coaches, and gone with everything in them when you delete them.
Every rating shows the three things that moved it most, and every constant has a reason. Scores are labelled our estimate from your numbers.
No match simulator, no "this tactic wins", no guessed attribute growth. Testing tells you how sure it is, Progress records what happened.

Players, positions, attributes, stats, contracts and values are read, and a later table of the same squad updates the same players. Anything can also be typed by hand. Nothing is read from the game, its files or its memory.

Yes. Import on My boards has From Football Manager: lay the tactic out on the same position grid as the game, give each player a role, and add the shape you defend in if you want one. You get a board with a phase for each shape that moves every player from one to the other, ready to edit, share and export. Nothing is read from the game or its files, and Total Football Studio is not affiliated with Sports Interactive or SEGA.
