When you're happy with your choices, click Next to proceed to Midfielders.

Note: Please note that there is a 360 Roster Points Cap in creating a team which applies to players in Starting Line up & Subs positions. You cannot have a team with more than 360 Roster points. User will need to swap or remove players to have the team under the cap. Reserve Players are not included in Roster Point Calculations.

Step 12: Now it's time to arrange your team and establish the starting lineup. To swap players, simply click on the player you wish to select and then click on another player with whom you want to swap positions. For instance, if you want SEAN JOHNSON as your Goalkeeper, click on his card and then click on the Goalkeeper position in the starting lineup to perform the swap. This process can be done in any order. Look for the swap symbol (seen below highlighted in the green box) on top of the players to identify where swaps can be made.
