Galactico11
Overview
Overview
Galactico11 is an exploration of football tactics, squad construction, player profiles, and match decision making through an interactive web application.
Context
Context
The product treats football knowledge as a connected system of roles, relationships, strengths, weaknesses, and match situations.
Define
Problem
Many football games reduce players and tactical decisions to a small collection of ratings. Galactico11 is designed around the idea that football decisions should make sense because of roles, tactical relationships, strengths, weaknesses, and match situations.
Understand
UX Thinking
The interface needs to communicate complicated football information without making the user feel like they are operating a spreadsheet. Tactical choices should remain understandable and connected to what happens on the pitch.
Flow
User Flow
A manager reviews the squad, compares roles, shapes a plan, makes a match decision, and reads the result through the relationships on the pitch.
Structure
Wireframes
The structure gives squad information, tactical controls, and match context clear zones so decisions can be scanned before they are made.
System
Visual Design
The visual language combines information-dense panels with a pitch-inspired spatial layer, keeping data readable without flattening the character of the product.
Motion
Interaction Design
Selection, comparison, and tactical changes are designed as connected actions so the user can understand why a choice matters before committing to it.
Build
Development
The project combines frontend interaction, structured football data, application state, backend services, and a match system designed around football phases and tactical reasoning.

Technical Architecture
The application separates football data, squad state, tactical decisions, and match resolution so the rules can grow without making the interface opaque.
Learn
Challenges
The challenge is presenting a large tactical model in a way that still feels like football rather than a spreadsheet of isolated numbers.
Output
Result
Galactico11 is a product direction for exploring football decisions through roles, relationships, and match context.
Reflect
What I Learned
Domain-heavy interfaces work best when each data point is connected to a decision the user can understand.
Next
Future Improvements
Future work can expand match situations, squad planning depth, and the ways users compare tactical alternatives.
