Line maxima are fm-reader's figures for the full squad by calculated best position; they include loans in and exclude loans out. The XI average is shown only when all eleven positions are filled.

The site's own 4-4-2 from up to 300 contracted players, including those on loan elsewhere. Each slot takes the highest-CA player at least accomplished there (familiarity 15+), with scarce positions filled first. This is a calculated selection, not a recorded lineup.

Best sixteen (calc)

Calculated by fm-reader from the 16 highest-CA squad players (at most sixteen). The squad includes loans in and excludes loans out, with players matched to the team's gender. PA uses expected potential for range codes. Missing inputs stay missing.
