No hiding.
Watch the play develop
Each situation animates on a tactics board — the same abstraction pro analysts use, so you're judged on the read, not the pixels.
Make your read in 12 seconds
Pass, press, hold, switch — four options, one best decision. The clock is part of the test: elite players decide before the ball arrives.
Get your Football IQ
Accuracy and decision speed roll into one score from 60–140, broken down across five cognitive categories — plus your player archetype.
Five categories. One complete picture.
Your score isn't a trivia grade — it maps how you think across the five decision families that decide matches.
Build-Up
Playing through pressure, using the keeper, breaking lines.
Transition
Counter-attacks and rest defense — the 6 seconds that decide games.
Pressing
Triggers, angles, and traps. Knowing when to jump and when to hold.
Movement
Off-ball runs, blind-side timing, and the cutback — football's best pass.
Game Management
Line control, tempo, and killing a match when you lead it.
Which brain do you play with?
Your category profile maps you to one of four footballing minds.
The Total Footballer
Reads everything, everywhere. Cruyff-brained — sees the third pass before the first.
The Regista
Controls tempo from deep. Never rushed, never trapped — the pass out of pressure is always there.
The Poacher
Thinks in half-spaces and blind sides. Arrives where the ball will be, a beat before anyone else.
The Destroyer
Smells danger early. Screens, delays, jumps at the perfect trigger — the counter dies here.
Quick answers
Is it free?
Yes — the assessment is free and you can retake it daily. A pro tier with full film-room drills, squad benchmarking, and training plans is coming.
How is the score calculated?
You start at 100. Every read is scored on accuracy and decision speed — a correct call inside the first few seconds earns more than a slow one. The scale runs 60–140 and the average fan lands around 104.
Why a tactics board instead of match footage?
Because it's how the game is actually taught. Boards strip away the noise — kit colours, camera angles, star names — and isolate the read itself. It's the same abstraction pro analysts and coaching badges use, and it means every situation is judged purely on football intelligence.
Do I need to have played?
No. The test measures how you read the game, not how you kick a ball. Plenty of top scorers have never played above park level — and some who have get humbled.
How do I improve my score?
Retake daily. Each situation comes with a coach's explanation of the right read, so every run is a film session. Most testers gain 10–20 points inside a week.
Think you read the game?
Prove it in three minutes.
Three minutes. Ten reads. One number your mates can't argue with.
