Build Your First Squad
Your Squad is your team — a name, a badge, a formation, and a roster of players. Before your first match, you set all four.
Name your team + pick a badge
Section titled “Name your team + pick a badge”- First time you log in, you go through Onboarding: pick a team name (3-30 chars) and generate a team badge (AI-generated SVG, you get to re-roll a few times)
- The badge mints as an NFT on MultiversX and becomes your team identity — it shows in match intros, the leaderboard, and other players’ views
You can rename the team later from the Settings tab.
Pick a formation
Section titled “Pick a formation”FoxLeague supports several standard formations. Each defines how many players go in each role:
| Formation | GK | DEF | MID | FWD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4-4-2 | 1 | 4 | 4 | 2 |
| 4-3-3 | 1 | 4 | 3 | 3 |
| 3-5-2 | 1 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
| 5-3-2 | 1 | 5 | 3 | 2 |
| 4-2-3-1 | 1 | 4 | 5 | 1 |
Set your formation in the Tactics tab. The pitch view updates to show the new shape.
Set your starting XI
Section titled “Set your starting XI”In Tactics, drag players from your roster into the formation slots. Constraints:
- The position has to match (a Defender can’t fill a Forward slot)
- Player must have condition ≥ 30 to be eligible (condition itself ranges 0-100; below 30 means too tired)
- Player must NOT be in transfer cooldown (24h after wallet-to-wallet receive — see Marketplace)
- Player must NOT be locked into a tournament (see Tournaments)
Save the lineup. The Tactics tab shows your committed XI for the next match.
Best XI (auto-pick)
Section titled “Best XI (auto-pick)”Don’t want to drag and drop? Click the Best XI button — the app fills your formation automatically with the highest-fit player available for each slot:
- Walks every slot in your selected formation
- Picks the eligible player with the highest fit score for that position (uses synced stats per the sync rule)
- Assigns the top 7 remaining players as substitutes
- Saves the lineup
If you don’t have enough players for a position (e.g. only 3 DEF but you picked 5-3-2 needing 5), Best XI tells you which positions are short so you can change formation or hit Marketplace.
Squad readiness
Section titled “Squad readiness”The Squad Readiness widget on Squad / PlayMatch tells you how many players are eligible right now (condition ≥ 30, not in cooldown, not locked). If you’re below 11, you can’t kick off a match.
If a player is sitting out:
- Low condition → wait. Condition recovers ~4/hour to 100.
- Cooldown → wait. The PlayerCard shows minutes remaining.
- Locked in tournament → finish the tournament or wait for it to end.
Bench + future expansion
Section titled “Bench + future expansion”Your full roster lives in Squad. Anyone not in the starting XI is on the bench. Future updates may add substitutions and squad-rotation depth bonuses — for now, the XI is what plays.
