FutBalance 2.1.0 · 1.1.0: Rate your friends on their skills, Widgets and faster app
Version 2.1.0 on web and 1.1.0 on iOS and Android is the biggest update since launch. It brings native mobile widgets, a new optional attribute-based team balancing system, an app up to 86% lighter and a solid set of bug fixes and stability improvements.
🧮 New attribute-based algorithm (optional)
The organiser can now choose how each player's average is calculated when generating teams. The default option remains the overall rating, but if you enable attribute mode, the average is calculated using four criteria:
- Performance — quality of the player in their position
- Stamina — physical endurance during the match
- Speed — pace and explosiveness
- Teamwork — commitment and cooperation
This allows more balanced teams by taking into account each player's full profile, not just an overall score. It's an optional and configurable feature: each organiser chooses whether to use it or stick with the previous system.
📱 Widgets for iOS and Android
You can now add FutBalance widgets to your iPhone or Android home screen. Four types are available:
- Next match — date, time and location of the next game
- Last result — the score from the most recent match
- Top scorers — players with the most goals in your league
- Top players — the points ranking for your league
Widgets update automatically every time you navigate through the app Dashboard.
⚡ App 86% lighter and faster
We redesigned how the app's code is loaded. The main bundle went from 3,399 kB to 470 kB (−86%). This is achieved with 21 lazily loaded routes and by splitting external libraries (React, Supabase, animations, charts…) into independent packages.
The practical result: the app starts faster, uses less data and works better on slow connections.
⏳ No more empty content flash on load
Previously, the Dashboard could briefly appear empty before data loaded. Now the loading screen stays active until all your league data is ready, eliminating the initial flash that could be confusing.
🐞 Fix: deleted players removed from stats
Players removed by the organiser from the group were still appearing in statistics and rankings. This is now fixed: when a player is deleted, their data disappears from all tables.
📸 Fix: goal scores aligned when sharing match image
When sharing the match result image, the scoreline could appear misaligned on some devices. The layout is now consistent across all screens and sizes.
📋 Shared tables between organiser and player views
Editing a table in the organiser view now reflects in the player view (and vice versa). Previously they appeared to be duplicate independent tables, when they should have been the same data.
🔒 Security updates
Security patches have been applied to several project dependencies (React Router, Rollup, PostCSS and other libraries) to keep the app protected.
The update arrives automatically on the web and through the standard update on the App Store and Google Play. If you have FutBalance installed, update to enjoy all the improvements.
