After selecting the Play the Standard Game, you will move to the Team Creation Page. Here you select your 11 starters and 3 bench Players and form your Team. You do so by clicking on the + sign that is to the left of each Player of your choice in the Available Players Table. The selected Player will move to your My Team Table (Figure 4).
Figure 4. Standard Game Create Your Team Page.
You can click on the header of any column in either table to list the Players in ascending or descending order based on the statistic offered in that column. Clicking on the Player name column allows you to place the available Players in alphabetical order or reverse-alphabetical order. You can also list the available Players by position and country by using the drop down menues above the Available Players Table. You can also search for a Player by typing his name in the Player Search box. Players may be added and dropped (by clicking on the - sign) from your Team as many times as you choose until you have created the Team you want.
You select your Players based on the position they play in their respective national teams. You can select all of your players from one league or from a combination of leagues. The leagues you can choose your players from are: EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1. You cannot pick more than 3 Players from any one club. The total combined value of all 14 Players on your team must be at or below your Team Budget of 100M. The Budget Remaining icon automatically tells you how much budget you have left and shows which Player positions remain vacant. You can move the icon by clicking and dragging it to any position you wish on your screen. Please note that your Team must be different from any other Participant's Team. If the game detects that you have created a Team identical to another Participant's team, it will prompt you to replace one or more of your Players to ensure that your Team is unique.
Once you have selected all the Players for your team, you can click the Save and Proceed button and move to the League and Team Selection page (Figure 5). Here, you are asked to give your Team a name and to choose a color for your squad.

After naming your Team and selecting a Team color, you will be asked to Confirm your Team. You may edit your Team at any point prior to confirming it. Once you have confirmed your Team, you are ready to play the Standard Game!
