Create a football strategy

Build a football strategy step by step in TriggerStats: name and outcome, leagues, rules and blocks, then switch it on and test it.

Strategies

A strategy is your own radar.

Describe a situation once; the app watches every match for it, alerts you on Telegram, and marks the match with the amber in both scanners.

What the app does, and does not do. It counts and describes: how often a situation happened, and what followed on the pitch. It never tells you what to do with it.

Creating a strategy — step by step

1 · New Strategy: On the Strategies page, tap "+ New Strategy", then choose "Build your own" — or take a ready-made strategy and skip the next steps.
2 · Name & outcome: A name you'll recognise in alerts, and the outcome you want to follow after each alert — next goal, over 2.5, both teams to score… Pick one: without it, the app can only count alerts.
3 · Scope: All leagues, or a list of leagues you save once and reuse across strategies. Pre-match strategies also choose how long before kick-off to run.
4 · Rules: Each rule is a stat, a comparator and a target — or two stats compared, or a stat combined with another (add, subtract, multiply, divide). Live stats can look at a time window: past 10 minutes, since minute 60, as of half-time…
5 · Blocks: Rules in the same block must all be true (AND). Several blocks: any block is enough (OR). A second phase, if you want, only starts once the first has been met.
6 · Switch it on: Active watches the matches; Notifications sends the Telegram alert.
