The game that teaches players to read football.
Pick your starting XI from a team of animals, set the tactics and simulate the match. As you play, Animal XI makes tactics, positions and player strengths easier to understand. Underneath, a simulation lets coaches prepare the next opponent or show a new signing how their team plays.

A player starts with the game. A coach can save a club scenario and turn the next fixture into a rehearsal.
More than a tactics quiz
Players learn the game by playing it.
-
Learn the styles
Meet high presses, low blocks, possession teams and transition chaos. The 48 World Cup profiles give players a feel for the tactical approaches they will meet on the pitch.
-
Learn the roles
A fullback, a six and a winger do not see the same game. Animal XI gives players a vocabulary for the cues, spaces and decisions their position demands.
-
Know your game
Players make choices, see the consequence and come back for another go. Their choices, response times and repeated reads give staff a practical view of what to coach next.
Make the game about your team.
The game runtime is integrated into the iOS and Android apps. It includes 48 World Cup team profiles, so players can learn the language of tactical approaches before a staff member ever assigns a scenario.
An analyst or coach can then save a next-opponent scenario, model the tendencies that matter, and launch a rehearsal. The same tool can help a new player understand their own team’s game model. Automated opponent scouting remains separate work.
