Roster Construction

The roster block separates established pillars from emerging names, making it easier to read the team as a living selection pool rather than a fixed lineup.

Tactical Keys

The tactical profile should be read together with the key-player list: setters shape tempo, wing attackers decide high balls, middles set the blocking ceiling, and liberos stabilize transition.
