The order of players is trying to show formation. 

442              GK RB CB CB LB RM CM CM LM F F

352 or 532   GK RWB CB CB CB LWB CM CM CM F F

That's why players show up in different columns. The idea's copied from the old programmes, but they just had the player numbers, 1 to 12.

I've just looked at an old programme from 1985 (and I see the Wednesday score is first even for away games). Who remembers this game?

 

Manchester United (a) 2-1 W  Hodge  Sterland  Shirtliff  Madden  Lyons  Worthington  Marwood  Blair  Varadi2  Chapman  Shelton  # Oliver

 

Was it 541 ? Marwood on the right, Shelton on the left, with Blair and Varadi behind Lee Chapman. What a team! Those were the days.

 

God I loved that team. 

 

I was at the game. It’s in my all-time top three, along with 2-0 at Liverpool and the League Cup.

 

Honestly cant remember the formation. I’d be guessing. 

 

I totally get your point. 1-11 used to make it easy to do teamsheets. Impossible now, and your best-fit approach works well.
