Great ways to use it
- Training theme picker: Let the result decide the focus (build-up shape, pressing structure, midfield rotations).
- Small-sided constraints: Assign roles based on the chosen numbers and challenge players to solve problems in that structure.
- Pre-match prompt: Use one pick as a discussion starter—strengths, weaknesses, and key matchup ideas.
Make it fit your team
Open Edit to tailor the wheel to your squad. Want more reps in a preferred system? Adjust weights to increase its frequency. Running a multi-week cycle? Turn on elimination mode so each pick is unique until the list resets. When you’re happy, share the wheel with a copyable URL.
