Level Up #4: Plan Ahead - Premium Lineups, Built on Your Time
22 October 2026
Premium managers can now plan their SoClassic lineups up to 72 hours before kickoff.
No more rebuilding your team at the last minute. No more missing a battle window because you were away when the games opened.
With PLAN, you can build early, reserve your cards, and come back to adjust your lineup whenever you need.
Following some feedback, we built it. A feature only available for Premium users.
How PLAN works
When you switch the Lineup Builder to PLAN mode, you can select cards playing across the next 72 hours.
Your five cards must still play within the same SoClassic battle window — from 8am to 8am. That keeps every battle clear, fair, and easy to follow: both managers are competing over the same window, rather than one lineup stretching across an entire weekend.
Once planned:
Your selected cards are reserved and cannot be used in another lineup.
Your battle credit is used immediately, just like a regular submission.
You can reopen the lineup to swap cards, change enhancers, or cancel it before activation.
The lineup enters matchmaking six hours before its first kickoff.
You’ll receive a push notification when it goes live.
If no opponent is found, the usual protections apply: your battle credit, cards, and any eligible enhancer are returned.
More preparation. Same competition.
PLAN is a Premium tool for managers with heavy galeries who want to prepare earlier, think further ahead, and avoid the rush.
The battle itself still follows the same rules. Same 8am window. Same five-card lineup. Same opponent. Same stakes.
Build early. Adjust with confidence and be ready when the battle starts.
