Squad Views in Football Manager 27 Mobile help you review your squad through different sets of information, including general details, selection statistics, transfer status and contracts. Choose a view that matches your current management task, then customise its columns to keep the relevant information together. The Contracts view is particularly useful for reviewing expiring deals, release clauses and wage spending.

Choose a View for Your Task

Start by deciding what you need to assess, then choose the corresponding default squad view:

These views provide different starting points rather than requiring you to work from one layout for every decision. For example, use contract information when reviewing players’ futures, rather than relying on a view intended for selection statistics.

The supplied material recommends deciding on your Squad View during the opening hours of a save, with the Contracts view highlighted as especially useful at that stage. [src-84cde24e42]

Customise Your Squad View

Every view can be customised by inserting, moving or removing columns. Use this flexibility to make the layout suit the information you are currently reviewing.

1. Choose the relevant default view. Begin with the view closest to your task.
2. Identify which information you need. Decide what should remain visible for that review.
3. Open the column menu. The documented method is to right-click the top of a column.
4. Add or insert columns as needed. Bring relevant information into the layout.
5. Move columns into a useful order. Arrange the information around your current focus.
6. Remove columns you do not need. Keep the view centred on the management decision at hand.

Mobile control limitation: The supplied instructions describe a right-click column menu but do not specify an equivalent touch gesture. They therefore support the customisation options, but not an exact tap-by-tap method for opening that menu on mobile. [src-84cde24e42]

Review Contracts Step by Step

The Contracts view brings together information that can help you decide whose future needs attention and where your wage budget is being spent.

1. Identify Shorter Contracts

Review which players have less time remaining on their current deals. This gives you an immediate starting point for deciding who needs contract attention.

For players you want to retain, use that information to begin contract talks early and work towards securing their future at the club.

2. Check Release Clauses

Look for players whose contracts include release clauses. The Contracts view helps you identify these alongside players with shorter contracts, so include both details when reviewing the squad’s contractual position.

Identifying a clause is part of the review; it does not, by itself, establish that the player should be sold or offered a new deal.

3. Assess Wage Spending

Use the same view to examine where your wage budget is going. Compare players’ salaries with their importance to the squad, rather than treating each salary as an isolated figure.

4. Identify Potential Departures

Where a player’s salary exceeds their squad importance, consider whether to offload them. The view helps identify candidates for that decision; it is not an instruction to move on every player with a substantial wage.

Keep Each Review Focused

Use Squad Views as a practical information tool: choose the appropriate default, adjust its columns, and review the details relevant to your next decision. For an initial contract assessment, focus on three questions: whose deal is running shorter, who has a release clause, and whose salary may outweigh their squad importance.
