SMana v66: the Opponent Dossier puts preparation at the centre of the day
The Assistant Coach organises information on upcoming opponents into compact dossiers: form, fitness, absences, departments and recent observed tendencies at a glance.
With version 66, match preparation becomes more immediate. The Assistant Coach gathers useful information on upcoming opponents and organises it into a Dossier designed to be read in seconds without turning analysis into a page of numbers.
Squad strength, observable fitness, recent form, unavailable players, strongest departments, coach and recent choices seen in played matches are brought together in one place. When the calendar contains several close fixtures, Staff can prepare dossiers for the next two matches together.
The Dossier does not reveal an opponent's private future decisions: upcoming lineup and tactics remain in the manager's hands. Its purpose is to make already available information easier to read and give even more value to preparation, rotation and squad management.
The Coaches Ranking also becomes more coherent when filters are used: the displayed position remains the absolute ranking within the World even when viewing only human managers or only BOT coaches.
With update 66.1, lineup building also becomes more believable. Players can be adapted to different departments, but performance reflects the distance from their natural role: full-backs and wingers remain natural functions for defenders and midfielders respectively, while moves between departments are distinguished between credible adaptations and genuine emergency solutions. Version 66.1.1 refines this distinction and makes the lineup easier to read.
