Totally sixteen usual players, two star players (that is one for every 2.3 boosters), three match winners (that is one for every five boosters), and a team logo (which is irrelevant when game is concerned).
So, one booster costs one Euro which contains six cards. Therefore, 100 boosters cost fifty to sixty Euros. Nowadays, starter packs come with few limited-edition cards and many kids and sports magazines.
The important factor for every game play with cards is its offense and defense ranges from bad to good (that is from 0 to 100), team affiliation, and position of attacker, midfielder, defender, and goal keeper.
These offense and defence values are obtained from official information which is used for formulating multiple leagues on many sports websites.

General Introduction to Match Attax
Posted by oscar in Card Games, Match Attax on October 20th, 2009
Match Attax play is an irresistible game which consists of simplistic rules. The first thing which impresses anyone who plays this game is the “Cards”.
The Cards:
The Match Attax game consists of 396 cards totally in set for 2008/2009-Bundesliga season. So for every eighteen teams there exists:
Sixteen regular players
Two star players
Three match winners
One team logo
Thereby, one booster for one Euro comprises of six cards. The displays of hundred boosters are obtained for just fifty to sixty Euros. The starter pack contains limited cards. The relevant data for this game play is position, team affiliation, offence and defence value which ranges from 0 (bad) till 100 (good).
Thereby, one can see that the star and regular player cards make use of the average values, whereas, match winner cards describes stats from one specific game till the match winners. Each of the match winners possesses either a star or a regular player version.
So, let us now go through the rules of this game:
Each of the players selects eleven players along with the valid-football strategy and three substitutes. Now lay the cards with its face-side down, therefore what is visible for all players is the group and the position of the football player. This play comprises of eleven rounds: That is, one player selects one from his/her face-down cards, which must be “defence”-of-“offense”. Then the other player must select one from his/her face-down cards which is opposite to the first player.
Now turn both the cards up and compare their respective offense/defence values. Note that the offense/defence with a higher value gains victory. Therefore, bar if there are any draws. You must score eleven goals and you can bring in substitutes in any turn. Make sure that substitutes are brought in before you reach the final stage.
The Strategy:
It is clear that the game is aimed at boys of younger age groups in the mainstream market. Your team can play funny games with the cards but this is absolutely not possible when tournament play is concerned. Since, tournament play rules, that you must have only one player in each team, just one star-player, and just one match winner is allowed.
So, you cannot select few best players, instead you must think while constructing your deck. You must think whether you need to use cards with best defensive/offensive values or is it necessary that you need few “all-rounders” who are reasonably good during both. Think about whether you misled your challenger by selecting one good defensive and 1 good offensive person. Do you occupy yourself with an unbeatable card?
For all these questions of yours, match winner Frank Ribery-the good player of Bundesliga is the best solution. He has both offensive and defensive values of 101. It is certain that a chase card cannot lose. The best strategy is to make use of one dissimilar midfielder luring your challengers to play to obtain a very easy goal.
Thereby, it would be better to stay away from this game, if you do not know how players are depicted in this game.
