What do these mean?

  • Chemistry โ€” How well the squad plays together as a unit. Think Barcelona's tiki-taka vs a random group of all-stars.
  • Familiarity โ€” How long these players have been playing together. Squads with years of shared experience read each other's runs instinctively.
  • Stability โ€” How consistent the tactical system and lineup have been. Frequent coaching changes and formation experiments hurt this score.
  • Morale โ€” The squad's current confidence and momentum. Recent wins, fan support, and media positivity all contribute.
