Update 1.5.0: Top Scorers, New Stats Cards, Smarter Matches View and General Improvements
February 26, 2026
Version 1.5.0 is one of the most comprehensive updates to date. It introduces a top scorers table, new stats cards like "The Killer" and "The Octopus", an adaptive card layout on desktop, deep improvements to the matches section, and a much more guided and intuitive user experience.
⚽ Top scorers table and new cards
- Top scorers table: new optional table (disabled by default). Once activated, you can log who scored in each match and view the top scorers ranking for your group
- "The Killer" card: new card highlighting the group's top goal scorer, visible when the scorers table is enabled
- "The Octopus" card: new card featuring the least-beaten goalkeeper in your group — because the best keeper deserves recognition
- Scorers in match cards: when reviewing a match, goal scorers now appear with ball icons for a quick visual overview
🃏 Adaptive card layout on desktop
- 6 cards → 3+3: when six cards are active, they split into two rows of three for a better use of space
- 7 cards → 4+3: with seven cards, the first row shows four and the second shows three
- Future-proof scaling: the system is ready for 8 (4+4), 9 (5+4) and 10 (5+5) cards as new stats are added
- Info tooltip fix: fixed an issue where the info icon on "The Octopus" and "Defensive Wall" cards appeared above the navbar when scrolling
📅 Smarter matches section
- Informational banner: new notice in the Matches tab reminding you to mark the match as completed and add the result after playing, so statistics update correctly
- Search filter: new filter to search through played matches by name, date or any keyword
- Accordion view: matches no longer load all expanded; they now collapse into an accordion for cleaner, faster navigation
- Load more: instead of loading all matches at once, a paginated list with a "Load more" button improves performance when there are many matches
👥 Better groups, invitations and onboarding
- Invitation banner: new dashboard banner prompting you to share the group with teammates so they can rate players — making the feature much more discoverable
- Renamed section: "Invite Players" is now "Invite your group of friends", with an expanded description explaining that ratings are anonymous and the organizer only sees the average, never individual votes
- Add group from dropdown: a new option at the bottom of the group selector, clearly separated and with a distinct background, lets you create a new group directly from the dropdown
- Temporary signing → permanent: when tapping "Renew" on a player with a temporary contract, you now also get the option to convert them to a permanent signing
📅 Calendar and notifications
- Persistent calendar subscription: the option to add matches to your phone calendar is now saved persistently, so you don't have to do it again every session
- Scroll to top from navbar: tapping "Dashboard" in the navigation bar while on the dashboard now scrolls the page back to the top
- Contextual informational notices: multiple new in-app notices have been added throughout the app to help users discover features and guide them step by step
🔧 UI improvements and fixes
- Statistics UI: improved consistency in titles and tables, better spacing in the trio table so content distributes evenly within its block
- Rating alert fix: disabling player scores no longer shows the alert in the Teams tab; instead, a notice in the Players tab explains that enabling the option lets you invite the group to rate players
- Player dashboard: reviewed to display correctly and not show the scorers activation notification in the player view
- Responsive and translations: fixed several text overflow issues across languages, added missing translations, and verified all text displays correctly in all available languages
