Before your first game, get your roster right — the rest of the platform leans on it.
Adding a player
- Open Teams → [your team] → Settings
- Click Add player
- Fill in:
- First and last name (required)
- Jersey number (optional, surfaces on console)
- Default position — the slot they'll auto-fill into when you set lineups
- Position preferences — up to two alternates (used during trials and surfaced in the position picker)
- Starting toggle — when on, the player is pre-filled into Q1 lineups by default
- Active toggle — turn off to retire a player without losing their stats history
Editing or removing a player mid-season
Players can't be deleted once they have stats — that would orphan game records. Instead:
- Deactivate — sets active=false; player no longer appears in lineup pickers but their historical stats stay intact in reports
- Edit — name, number, and positions can be changed at any time; stats follow the player
💡 Tip
Mid-season transfers: Add the new player as Active, deactivate the leaver. Their existing stats remain visible in the Player Report and Player Progression views.
