Team Slot | Field Position |

The captain is assigned to the first team slot in a match. It is the captain's role to be the primary scorer and shooter of the team. They will be your main offensive threat and are also often the first character in contact with the ball.
It is recommended to place characters that have high Shooting or Technique in this slot since they can effectively score goals and execute Hyper Strikes.
Rosalina | Rosalina's has high Strength, Shooting, and Technique stats make her a great scorer. Use her to make Perfect Shots easily from a distance. |
---|---|
Bowser | Bowser's high Strength and Shooting allow him to tackle opponents on Defense and transition for a quick goal. Beware however, as his size makes him succeptible to being tackled as well. |
Wario | Similar to Bowser, Wario's high Strength and Shooting can make for easy stops on Defense and a quick goal. |
Mario | Mario's balanced stats makes him a fine choice as Captain since he can easily juke opponents with his high Technique. |
Peach | Peach's high Speed and Technique make for a dangerous Captain since she can lose opponents by skillfully dribbling pass them. |
Team Slot | Field Position |
---|---|
Passers and Playmakers are assigned to the second and third team slots. They are very versatile, often involved in both defensive and offensive plays, and are usually the ones passing the ball to the captain so they can make the shot.
They will position themselves on the left and right wings of the field at the start of a play.
It is recommended to place characters that have high Speed or Passing in this slot, so they can easily adapt to different playstyles and can pass to other teammates when needed.
Toad | Toad's high Speed and Passing make him a fantastic playmaker. You can have 2 or more Toads in a team, using their high Speed for getting items and Hyper Strike Orbs. However, Toad's low Strength makes him extremely vulnerable to tackles. |
---|---|
Yoshi | Yoshi's high Shooting and Passing stats make him an offensive threat. Defending against Yoshi is difficult as he can score goals near the line of scrimmage. |
Donkey Kong | Donkey Kong's high Strength and Passing make him a useful on both offense and defense. He can easily tackle an opponent for the possession and find a teammate for a quick goal. |
Luigi | Luigi's high Passing and Technique allow him to carry the ball upfield. |
Bowser | Bowser's Strength, Shooting, and size make him a great midfielder, as he can tackle opponents to steal the ball and then score from a distance. |
Wario | Wario can be played the ame way as Bowser, effectively applying both defensive and offensive pressure midfield. |
Team Slot | Field Position |
---|---|
The defender is assigned to the final team slot. The Defender's role is to defend your side of the field from any oncoming opponents. They also act as the goal's first line of defense before the goalie.
Defenders are placed at the back of the field, closer to the goal, at the start of the play.
It is recommended to place characters that have high Strength in the Defender Slot, so they can more effectively tackle opponents and steal the ball.
Waluigi | Waluigi's high Strength and Speed allow him to cover any opponent trying to score a goal. |
---|---|
Donkey Kong | Donkey Kong's high Strength and Passing allow for a quick transition offense after a defensive stop. |
Bowser | Thanks to Bowser's high Strength and Shooting, he can make plays on the defense by tackling opponents and score a goal from long distances. |
