Weighted points put all three pillars on one scale. Each card shows how its number is worked out. One match still carries real luck.
Team Strength at Kickoff
How strong each side was with the tactics they used. Squad quality caps the team. Pitch coverage asks how well the XI covered the nine zones for the chosen style. Tactic unlocks are the philosophy and trait bonuses that actually fired. Philosophy fit measures how well the XI met the chosen style's trait requirements. Opponent-specific edges (matchups, home advantage, referee) are scored elsewhere.

Matchup Analysis
Counter Attack (H) vs Jogo Bonito (A). No clear tactical edge on paper.
Shadow Owls's 3-5-2 overloads midfield against Black Sporting's 4-3-3 (5 vs 3), so expect more ball control.
Black Sporting sends 3 attackers at a 3-man Shadow Owls back line, stretching it to breaking point.
Shadow Owls's 3 defenders have no spare man against Black Sporting's 3 attackers, so every runner must be tracked.
Black Sporting's Tighten Centre counters away's Through Balls.
Shadow Owls has 3 natural leaders on the pitch to Black Sporting's 0, giving them a stronger dressing room culture that steadies defence and midfield.
Pitch Heat Map
Nine-zone strength snapshot for each side at kickoff. Brighter = stronger in that third and channel. Both grids read from their own team's perspective: rows run attack to defence, and left and right are that team's own. So one side's left attack meets the other side's right defence.
