A pre-match game. Sabah v Barcelona has not been played yet, so there is no real result to match — you choose the Barcelona eleven, place every player wherever you like, set the approach, and the match runs on the spot.
This is not a prediction game. Nobody is keeping score and there is nothing to get right — the match has not been played yet, so there is no correct answer to find. Pick the eleven you would pick, or the eleven nobody would dare, and see what your team does with it.
This game comes down once the real match has finished. The full simulation — where you take the touchline in a match that really happened and change how it actually ended — lives on MatchRewrite permanently. Browse the clubs.
