How it Works

AI Team Balancing

Balancing casual football teams is a nightmare — and someone always complains.

Capo takes this headache away with one-click team balancing that actually works.

Zero effort required

Performance Balancing

Capo automatically analyses past games, win rates, goal-scorers and fruitful player combinations — then builds teams designed to make the match as close as possible.

It weights recent form more heavily than ancient history. We all decline with age, and Capo knows it.

Full control

Ability Balancing

Want more control? Rate your players and Capo balances teams the way a good organiser actually thinks: first, who'll genuinely stay back and defend (not just who's skilled — who'll actually do it). Then who's your goal threat. Then the midfield. Then it adjusts for temperament and teamwork — spreading the lone wolves who never pass and the players whose heads drop when losing.

We used to call this the "AL-gorithm" — named after co-organiser Alex, who did it all in his head and got grief every single week. Now the app does it. The arguments mostly stopped.

Fantasy League Balancing

If you're using the leaderboard to track fantasy points, Capo will soon be able to balance teams to keep the title race tight.

Handles the awkward stuff automatically

Fixed Goalkeepers

Got designated keepers? They're locked in and excluded from outfield balancing — no more skewed ratings from "injured mate in goal" situations.

Uneven Numbers

11 players? 9? Capo adjusts the balance calculation automatically — fair teams even when the numbers don't divide nicely.

Last-Minute Dropouts

Someone pulls out an hour before kickoff? Capo rebalances and republishes the teams instantly. No manual reshuffling, no panic.
