We are happy to announce that we have a brand new feature exclusive to Forza Inter Forums. The Formations code is a way to visually represent lineups, so that they are more aesthetically appealing and also easier to study and understand.

In the past, users would post something like this (example from actual thread):

----------------eto---------------milito----------------

------------------------cassano---------------------

-------muntari----------cambiasso----------motta------

---------santon---------lucio----samuel------maicon---------

---------------------------cesar-----------------------


With the new system, you can represent the above lineup like this:

<br />
 0 0 eto'o 0 milito 0 0<br />
 0 0 0 Cassano  0 0 0<br />
 0 0 0 0 0 0 0<br />
 0 muntari 0 cambiasso 0 motta 0<br />
 0 0 0 0 0 0 0<br />
 santon 0 lucio 0 samuel 0 maicon<br />
 0 0 0 0 0 0 0<br />
       jc<br />

How it works:

Imagine the pitch has a grid of 7 rows by 7 columns, plus one goalkeeper at the end. So in total we have 49 positions we can fill + 1 keeper.

It looks like this:

Code:
[PLAIN]
[formation]
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
      0
[/formation][/PLAIN]
So you fill in the players in this grid. Note that what matters is how many 0's there are, not how far apart the names are. You must keep the 0's between the player names.

Code:
[PLAIN]
[formation]
0 0 eto'o 0 22 0 0
0 0 0 deki  0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 muntari 0 cambiasso 0 motta 0
santon  0 0 0 0 0 13
0 0 lucio 0 samuel 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
       J Cesar
[/formation][/PLAIN]
<br />
 0 0 eto'o 0 22 0 0<br />
   0 0 0 deki  0 0 0<br />
   0 0 0 0 0 0 0<br />
   0 muntari 0 cambiasso 0 motta 0<br />
   santon  0 0 0 0 0 13<br />
   0 0 lucio 0 samuel 0 0<br />
   0 0 0 0 0 0 0<br />
           J Cesar<br />

Notice that you can use player names, numbers, nicknames, or even add a custom player for ideal/fantasy lineups. Using numbers is not recommended though, because if another player transfers in and gets that number, your lineup will change as well in the future.


Please use this thread for any questions you have, and also to test out as many formations as you want.

If someone asks about this system please always link them to this thread and don't clutter other threads about it.

Let me know if you have any problems :)

Fuckin shit, this is outragous work from you Ehsan !!!

It seems you're pioneer in this too, haven't see a cool shit like that anywhere else.

How long it took you to implement this ??

ps. I see there are some schemes I can use, for example numbers on the shirts. Is it universal for all players, or only a few ? Also Deki etc. works too ?

Glad you liked it guys. Thanks for trying it as well. I've already found and fixed a few mistakes based on your experiments.

Can we had a player and number?

What do you mean sandro?

I've been working on it for a couple of weeks now.

The current official squad will have the official numbers. Squad names/nicknames should work. Any other words not in the list will just show up with a blank jersey.


Ehsan, is this a bbcode ??

It's a combination of things. bbcode here, then PHP code on the server using GD library.
