Frequently asked

How does the football team generator work?

SideMeld looks at each player's rating, current form, playing position and chemistry, then uses a snake draft with local optimisation to produce two evenly matched sides.

Can I adjust the teams after generating?

Yes. You can unlock a generated squad and drag and drop players between teams, reserves and the bench. A live Balance Meter shows how fair the sides remain.

What team sizes are supported?

Anything from 2-a-side to 11-a-side. Pick the format that suits your pitch and SideMeld builds the right formation and reserves automatically.
