No official position roster or stat table exists for Real Futbol X yet (checked 2026-10-03), so this planner does the part that is real today: role structure, rotation math on documented server numbers, and how the announced playstyle and ranked systems should change your squad plan.
A 25-player server (official, checked 2026-10-03) fits a full 7v7 match — 14 players — with 11 slots left for rotation. Plan a core of 14 with defined roles, name your substitutes before the match, and keep one squad rule from the announced systems: set pieces reward a rehearsed taker and a rehearsed dummy run, not volunteers. The futsal-style mode announced for the full release needs a smaller crew, so the same friends-group maps onto two ladders without recruiting anyone else.
Every input here is official or clearly labeled — no invented match data.
| Format | Players used | Spare slots in a 25-player server | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7v7 (the traditional Real Futbol format) | 14 on the pitch | 11 spare slots for subs and waiting players | Announced as the traditional base format; official for the predecessor |
| Futsal-style fast mode | Small-sided (exact size not published) | Leaves even more spare slots than 7v7 | Announced; squad size undocumented |
| Server capacity | 25 players maximum per server | Official API value, checked October 3, 2026 | Official |
Sources: 25-player cap from the official Roblox API (checked 2026-10-03); 7v7 as the traditional format and the futsal-style fast mode from developer plans reported February 13, 2026. The futsal mode's exact squad size is unpublished — do not treat any small-sided number as official.
Real Futbol X has no published position list, so this is the standard football structure the series' 7v7 format plays in — planning guidance, not game data.
| Role | Job in the match | Planning note | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goalkeeper (GK) | Shot-stopping and distribution; the only role with position-specific gear documented in the series | Plan one dedicated keeper per squad — rotating keepers is the most common amateur-squad mistake | Series precedent (predecessor); Real Futbol X role list unpublished |
| Defenders | Cover passing lanes, win tackles, start attacks from the back | In 7v7 small-sided play, two disciplined defenders cover more than three ball-chasing ones | Standard football structure; Real Futbol X formation options unpublished |
| Midfielders | Connect defense to attack, control tempo, cover the most ground | Assign the highest-stamina players here — the series' stamina systems make midfield the most expensive role | Stamina documented for the predecessor; Real Futbol X stamina unpublished |
| Forwards | Finishing, runs behind the line, set-piece targets | Pair finishing practice (the announced skill games) with one forward who takes set pieces | Set-piece practice announced February 13, 2026; roles generic |
From the developer plan reported February 13, 2026 — useful for structure, not yet a shipped feature list.
Reported as the final major gameplay system. The preview showed selectable strike types (such as inside foot, low pass, and trivela), a contact-point selector, a run-up position guide, and a teammate call where the caller chooses to kick or fake and the called player chooses a short pass or a fake.
Developer preview shown February 13, 2026
A proper ELO ladder where points move on both the match result and the player's match rating, ten placement games, ranks made of three divisions each, and a top rank reserved for the 100 highest-rated players. Players queue solo or in parties.
Announced plan
First-load choices: build, height, playstyle, kit customization, and gender. The developer said changes after selection require payment so the choices cannot be abused; cosmetics called set-piece styles (idle plus run-up animations) are unlockable separately and are not tied to the playstyle.
Announced plan
Squad consequence: customization locks build, height, and playstyle behind a payment once chosen, so a squad that agrees on role coverage before everyone creates a player avoids paying to fix overlap. The playstyles page tracks what a playstyle is confirmed to be; the builds page covers the build-and-height half.
The questions a friends-group actually asks before queueing together.
Because Real Futbol X has no published rates yet. A calculator that invents coin-per-match numbers would be wrong the day the first patch ships. The checker tells you which inputs are publicly known, and every page that uses a number links its source and checked date.
When the developer publishes formulas or when reproducible in-game values exist — for example a documented match payout or shop price table. The announced daily/weekly shop and trading systems are the most likely first place stable prices appear.
Structure, not numbers: how a 25-player server splits across a 14-player 7v7 match, how ten placement games spread over your weekly play time, and which resources (the group, community server, and official page) answer questions first.
Each page carries a checked date. The official API's update timestamp is the trigger we use: after a new version, the updates page changes first, then pages whose facts the update could touch.
Community estimates for an unfinished paid-testing game go stale fast and get repeated as facts. A dated 'not documented' line tells you exactly what is known and what changed when it stops being true.
Yes, structurally: the announced ranked system lets players queue in parties, a 7v7 match needs 14 of a server's 25 slots, and the futsal-style mode gives a second ladder for a smaller group. Agree on positions and a rotation now; tune it when the systems ship.
A position (goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, forward) is where you play in the formation. A playstyle is a first-load customization choice announced for Real Futbol X, picked together with build and height. No official list of playstyle names or effects exists yet.
