# Editing xMins

xMins (expected minutes) represents the anticipated playing time for each player. This can be conceptualised as the average game-time a player would receive if a match were played out 1,000 times.

xMins inputs have a settable range of 0 to 95 minutes. Accurate xMins ensure your projections reflect realistic playing time expectations rather than generic assumptions.

# Why Edit xMins?

Default xMins are updated regularly, but adjustments may be beneficial based on:

• Immediate reactions to team news and press conferences
• Personal insights regarding anticipated lineups
• Access to privileged information

# Where to Edit

Pitch View: Select players in your squad to adjust their minutes as a bulk input (across all upcoming fixtures).

Player List Table: Update any player's xMin value to make bulk edits directly (across all upcoming fixtures).

Player Profile: This allows for detailed fixture-by-fixture xMin editing. Access by clicking a player's name in the player list, or their shirt/avatar in the pitch view.

Changes update projected points immediately upon adjustment.

# Setting Guidelines

Typical Ranges:

• 80-95: Guaranteed starter, generally expected to complete the match
• 60-80: Regular starter with substitution risk
• 40-60: Highly rotation prone
• 0-40: Backup

Consider factors such as fixture congestion, tactical rotations, and recent playing patterns when determining appropriate values.
