Selection identity

A continent, not a single school

12 rated players qualify through the database continent field. Nation distribution stays visible so the selection reads as a continental archive, not a flagless super-team. No standard formation can field eleven from the recorded roles, so the canonical XI uses one clearly labelled archive shape.

The archive cannot field a credible XI yet

The current North America pool does not contain enough defenders and midfielders to build a positionally credible lineup. This section will return as the archive grows.

Selection verdict

12 rated players qualify through the database continent field. Nation distribution stays visible so the selection reads as a continental archive, not a flagless super-team. No standard formation can field eleven from the recorded roles, so the canonical XI uses one clearly labelled archive shape.

GK is the highest-rated department at 85. The selected structure keeps that strength visible without treating a squad average as an XI rating.

2-3-5 Archive is the canonical starting point: A historically recognisable 2-3-5 adapted to a pool rich in forwards and extremely thin in defensive and midfield specialists.
