How does this work?

The calculator divides your match into rotation windows and assigns players in/out using a cyclic-shift algorithm — the standard fair-rotation approach. With the right window count, every player gets exactly the same minutes on and off the pitch. With an awkward squad-vs-format ratio, the calculator picks the closest fair option and tells you the gap.

Rotating goalkeeper: when checked, the GK role rotates among on-pitch players each window, so no one is stuck in goal all match. When unchecked, Player 1 is the keeper whenever they're on.
