# Team Building Rules

### Registering a team

To register a team, you will need to fill a team with 11 players. The team composition can be in various formations, using the formations feature drop down in the team builder. The default formation is:

* 1 Goalkeeper
* 4 Defenders
* 4 Midfielders
* 2 Forward
* (Optional) 3 substitutes of any position\ <br>

### Substitutes <a href="#substitute" id="substitute"></a>

Substitutes will automatically be subbed-in if one of the players **with the same position** on the pitch **doesn't play**.  \
\
Players that stay on the bench during a match or don't have a match at all during a gameweek are replaced. \
\
If a player plays even 1 second in the match, he will have a score and cannot be substituted.

{% hint style="info" %}
The substitute with the highest score is taken into account if several substitutes have the same possition.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Select a Captain <a href="#substitute" id="substitute"></a>

Once your team is filled, the last step will be to select a Captain.&#x20;

Captains have a **+50%** performance modifier (see [Scoring System](/coach-ligue-1/coach-ligue-1-english/football/scoring-system.md) for more details) applied on their score.

## Track your team performance&#x20;

Once your team is registered, you will be able to check its live performance as the real live matches of your players take place.
