ElevenBase splits team role (who can do what in the app) from on-pitch role (GK, ST, CM...) for each player. The two are independent.
Team role: who can do what
- Founder — the team creator. Can do everything: manage roster, sessions, matches, settings, delete the team, promote others to coach or captain.
- Coach — same operational rights as the founder, but can't delete the team. Creates sessions, edits the roster, approves requests.
- Captain — a small visual marker on the roster and call-ups. Operationally close to a player.
- Player — sees call-ups, personal stats, Mondo FC card. Doesn't edit anything.
Roles are managed from Admin → Team members (visible to founder/coach only). Legacy roles like owner and staff are normalized to Founder and Coach in the UI.
On-pitch role: 11 codes
ElevenBase uses the Italian football nomenclature. The role_code field accepts exactly one of these:
- POR — Goalkeeper
- TD — Right back · DC — Centre back · TS — Left back
- MED — Defensive mid · CC — Central mid · TRQ — Attacking mid
- ED — Right wing · ES — Left wing
- ATT — Striker · SP — Second striker
Shirt number and EA Sports ID
Shirt number (shirt_number) is optional but handy for quick visual ID in call-ups and tactical sheets. The EA Sports ID (ea_sports_id) is the key to pull Mondo FC stats: if you linked the EA club, it's pre-filled from the EA persona name on first sync. If it changes mid-season, we flag it in the panel — confirm once and previous history stays linked.
