Picking the best team - The results are worked out by a combination of
caps, skill and age. The average player has form seven (Form fluctuates
for most players each month). If a player has less than 10 caps he loses
the team some strength, an uncapped player exaggerates the effect.
Players with over 40 caps increases the teams strength. Old players
weaken the team also. It is a good idea to give inexperienced players
caps in friendlies and easy games. Some senior players may retire before
the world cup so make sure there is adequate cover.
Injured players have zero form, players get injured at the beginning
of the month and after withdrawals.
On the pick team page pick a tactics and then 11 of the squad, if a
mistake is made click on undo at the end.

for the Final stages. On the 31st May 1994 after picking the squad you
will be requested to save the game, do this and load it up on the
FInals.Prg.
