COMMAND CENTER
Dashboard Radar Chart Matchplan

Description:

The Start Screen has been completely overhauled. It's no longer just a menu—it's your state-of-the-art Command Center. It analyzes data from across the app in real-time and visualizes it instantly. Know how your squad is performing, when the next kickoff is, and where your tactical strengths lie.

The Cards Breakdown:

  • Drill of the Day: Daily inspiration. Hit "Training Session" and the app builds a full session around this drill instantly.
  • Top News & Info: Your intel hub. It combines internal app updates (marked "News") with headlines from international soccer. Click to read without leaving the app.
  • The Matchplan (Next Game): More than a calendar entry. See a Live Countdown to kickoff and your projected Starting XI on a tactical pitch. Includes venue, date, and your chosen attack strategy.
  • Squad Analysis (Scout View): The analytical core. Instead of boring lists, you get a professional Performance Radar evaluating your team on Technique, Pace, Dominance, and Physique.
    • Scout Verdict: Based on player profiles, the app gives you a tactical recommendation (e.g., "Focus on Possession" or "Force Counter-Attacks").
    • Key Stats: Quick stats in the corners show average age, confirmed transfers, and players leaving.
  • Attendance: Visual motivation. A pie chart shows team attendance averages. Below, see your Quality Rating for sessions (Stars) and a "Top 5" leaderboard of your most dedicated players.
