How FootyPro handles it
The list builds itself, on a rule everyone can see
You create the round; the app calls players up using the policy your group picked. On loyalty, whoever has the longest run of appearances goes first; on first-come, the timestamp decides; on manual, the order is yours.
Goalkeepers and outfield players have separate queues — a keeper spot is never taken by an outfield player. Whoever does not fit waits, and moves up on their own when somebody drops out.
Balanced sides, and the right to change them
The draw places the keepers first, shuffles within each position and then looks for swaps that bring the sides closer together. From 2 to 6 teams, in the shape your pitch calls for.
The draw returns a PROPOSAL: nothing is saved until you say so, and you can move anyone before that.
Match fees, monthly subs and the kitty in one place
Every player has a statement. The match fee comes off when you close the round, top-ups go into the group kitty, and monthly subs run on their own clock.
Whoever went in goal that night, and anyone you marked exempt, does not pay — one rule, and every screen obeys it on its own.
The group follows on a link, with nothing to install
League table, teams, matches and top scorers live on a public page you paste into the group chat. Nobody who does not want an account needs one.
Anyone who does want in, gets in: answering “I'm in / I'm out”, seeing the list and voting for player of the round is free forever.
