Kaderraum
A squad-planning simulator that lets Bayern (and Bundesliga) fans build hypothetical rosters within salary-cap and registration constraints and share them for vote and debate.
FC Bayern fans who argue about squad construction during every transfer window
- Squad builder constrained by DFL squad registration rules (homegrown quotas, non-EU slots) and Bayern's reported wage structure
- What-if comparisons that simulate player rotation against the actual Bundesliga schedule and show weak spots
- Community voting where proposed squads are ranked by other fans, with constructive-debate threads pinned to decisions
- End-of-window leaderboard of which community-built squad most closely matches Bayern's actual moves
Bayern's transfer coverage is dominated by rumor pieces; the unmet fan need is not more rumors but a tool to test which constructed squads actually solve the team's gaps.
Niche audience: 200+ DE searches is modest and many are covered by existing lineup-builder communities (FootballUser, Bayernista); real but not exceptional.FC Bayern Squad & Formation Builder: Create Lineups ↗

Lineup-builder tools are predominantly free/freemium with no strong evidence Bayern fans will pay for a salary-cap simulator; transfer-rumor apps rarely convert.Free Soccer Lineup Builder & Tactical Board | Formation Builder ↗
Squad-construction debate is evergreen within seasons, but engagement is transfer-window-spiked; salary-cap and registration rules may shift and require maintenance.
Achievable as a web app — player DB, formation UI, salary-cap math and sharing exist in many open precedents; main cost is data maintenance for Bundesliga squads.
