How does it match a nickname to each player?

It uses the position you've selected to choose at random from a curated pool of recognisable footballers for that position group. It does not analyse the player or invent a role-specific joke.

Can I use it for a partial squad?

Yes. Fill in as many positions as you've actually got players for, formation and all, and it only generates nicknames for the players you've entered.

Can I change a nickname I don't like?

Yes. Lock the nicknames you like and re-roll the rest, so you can keep the ones that land without starting the whole squad over.
