Football Formation Creator
Set a team shape for the format you actually play. Pick a side from five-a-side through eleven-a-side, start from a preset, then drag players into the distances you want on the pitch. Shirt numbers and names sit on the tokens. A bench lets you swap a starter without redrawing the shape. Export a PNG or copy a link that reopens the same lineup.

FAQ
- Does 5v5 include the goalkeeper?
- Yes. The number is the full side: a 5v5 preset has five players on the pitch, including the goalkeeper. The same rule applies from 6v6 to 11v11.
- Can I add an extra player?
- You can add players up to the format limit and remove them down to one. Change format if the match uses a different count.
- Where is the lineup saved?
- In this browser. A copied link stores the lineup in the URL so someone else can open it without an account.
