Inspiration Football is one of the most popular sports globally, especially the English Premier League, which has a surprising global audience of 3.2 billion for all programming watched in the 2018/2019 season. With this popularity, there is significant pressure, and expectation in every match play for each team in the premier league as every team expects the best result. The team’s manager is the one who has to make a decision on every move:

Selecting starting lineup
Setting formation and tactic
Coaching
Etc. This is big pressure, and it appears that managers often made the wrong decision. Consequently, the team lost the game.

Problem The situation of losing the game with the wrong formation set and the wrong players selected would never happen if the manager has some clues on the game and the average performance of the opponent team.
