## Four player categories

XSERIES deliberately mixes four types of players in one roster. This mix is the core of its sportainment positioning.

| Category | Examples | Role for the audience |
|---|---|---|
| International stars | Falcão, Ricardinho, Luís Nani, Carlos Ortiz, Safee Sali | "Once in a lifetime" appeal, media coverage |
| Indonesian football and futsal players | Bambang Bayu Saptaji, Syamsir Alam, King Polo | Sporting credibility, local club fans |
| Legends | Cristian Gonzales, Hamka Hamzah, Ismed Sofyan | Nostalgia, adult audience |
| Creators and celebrities | Jaden Bahtera, Kkajhe, Nidal, Nyoman Paul, Atta Halilintar | Social media reach, drama and rivalries |

## XSERIES-2 roster

- **International:** Falcão (Brazil), Ricardinho (Portugal), Carlos Ortiz (captain of the Spain national futsal team), Suphawut and Jetsada (Thailand), @the_2top (Korea). More than 10 players from 10 countries.
- **Indonesian players:** King Polo, Bambang Bayu Saptaji, Syamsir Alam. Beckham Putra and Saddil Ramdhani were also announced ([Bola.com](https://www.bola.com/indonesia/read/6258652/xseries-2-sajikan-sportainment-5v5-dengan-aturan-unik-dimeriahkan-bintang-nasional-hingga-dunia)), but neither appears in any Lapangbola match line-up, so they are not added to a team roster.
- **Legends:** Cristian Gonzales, Hamka Hamzah, Ismed Sofyan
- **Creators:** Jaden Bahtera, Nyoman Paul, Kkajhe, Nidal
- 60 players in total ([Bola.com](https://www.bola.com/indonesia/read/6258652/xseries-2-sajikan-sportainment-5v5-dengan-aturan-unik-dimeriahkan-bintang-nasional-hingga-dunia)).

The full XS-1 and XS-2 roster for each team is on [Franchise teams](/research/tim/).

## XSERIES-3 player announcements

Each announcement uses a **playing card**: a rank letter (A / Q / J / P) with an "X" below it. The rank probably shows the player's tier (A = headline star, P = player or prospect), but its meaning has not been officially confirmed.

## Announcement pattern

- **One player, one piece of content**, with a rank letter teaser first (for example a blank "A" card before Nani was announced).
- **Short captions with character**: "The Acrobat", "Big saves. Bigger stage.", "Wanna see him dance on the pitch?"
- **Reposts from player accounts** extend reach. Every player becomes a distribution channel.

> [!TIP]
> This player card format is ready to become a **player card** in the digital product. See [Content model & CMS](/strategy/model-konten/) and [Digital product UI direction](/visual-direction/arah-ui/).
