Ability sets the baseline
Your position and attributes project the rest of the season. The goals, assists and result you actually produce on the chosen night then move that projection.

How these guides are maintained
Each guide is written from the same rules used by the live game and checked again when a mechanic changes. They explain Football Rogue itself—no scraped strategy, invented optimal route or generic football advice.
Three useful rules
Read the night, not just the rating
High numbers help. The right action, enough Legs and a coherent build decide how those numbers become a career.
The opponent changes the answer
A strong move can still be wrong against a Low Block or Suffocating Press. Scout the trait, then take a kit that can counter it.
You cannot build everything
Elite attributes cost more, a career commits to at most two core paths, and each match kit has only three moves. Specialisation is the point.
The awkward years count
A missed recommendation, a smaller first club or a season spent fighting for Trust can become the part of the career you remember.
