As the match ended, Roland's team gathered in a huddle, their minds buzzing with excitement and nervous energy.

But with only 11 players allowed on the field and 20 members in their team, they knew they needed to make some tough decisions.

"We need to decide who will play in each match," Roland said, his voice firm.

"We have five matches ahead of us, so we'll have to take turns."

Arguments broke out among the team as everyone vied for a chance to prove themselves on the field. Some argued for their combat prowess, while others touted their agility and speed.

"We should prioritize those with magical abilities," suggested one member, pointing to Roland and a few others who possessed powerful spells.

"But what about those of us with exceptional physical skills?" countered another.

"We can't afford to overlook our strength and speed."After much debate and deliberation, they finally reached a consensus.

They would rotate players for each match, ensuring that everyone had a chance to participate.

It wasn't an ideal solution, but it was the best they could come up with given the circumstances.With the matter of participation settled, they turned their attention to their positions on the field.

Roland, was chosen as the captain of the team, he imediately took charge of the discussion.

"We need to play to our strengths," he said, pacing back and forth as he addressed the group.

"We have a diverse set of skills among us, and we need to leverage that to our advantage.

"They spent hours strategizing and planning, discussing formations and tactics that would give them an edge over their opponents.

Some volunteered for specific roles based on their abilities, while others deferred to Roland's judgment.In the end, they emerged with a plan – a fluid formation that allowed them to adapt to any situation on the field.

Roland would lead from the midfield, using his magic to control the flow of the game.

Lira would serve as their primary striker, with support from the agile rogue and warrior players.

With their positions decided and their strategy in place, they felt a renewed sense of confidence and determination.

They were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead on the football field, united as a team and prepared to fight for victory.
