Team Lineup Maker: Football Formations and Basketball Lineups
Make a lineup picture for your team: choose 11-a-side, 7-a-side, or 5-a-side football or basketball, pick a formation such as 4-4-2 or 4-3-3, list the players with their numbers, drag anyone to fine-tune the shape, add substitutes, and download it to share.
Team Lineup Maker: Football Formations and Basketball Lineups: A formation lists outfield players from defence to attack: 4-4-2 means four defenders, four midfielders, and two forwards, plus the goalkeeper. Players are placed in that order, left to right along each line, and the goalkeeper's shirt is drawn in a different colour, as the rules require.
