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.

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.
