Football lineup maker
Free · No sign-up · Nothing is saved
Tap a player to type their name. Drag them to move them, or drop them on another player to swap. Keyboard: Tab picks a player, arrow keys move them, Enter edits.
Pick a formation, type the names and share an image ready for the team’s WhatsApp group or the club’s social media. No account needed and nothing is saved: the lineup lives only in the link.
In three steps
- 1 Pick the formation
- 2 Type the names and choose the captain
- 3 Share the image on WhatsApp
Lineup or squad call-up, from the same data
Lineup mode shows the pitch with the starting players, the substitutes and the captain. Squad mode shows the list of selected players with the meeting time and place, the kit and what to bring. Switching modes loses nothing.
- 11, 9, 8, 7 and 5-a-side and futsal, with the most common formations for each
- Captain and vice-captain, substitutes and coaching staff
- Image as a post, a story or a square, and an A4 sheet for the changing room
- A text copy to paste into the team group
Made for your phone
Tap a player to type their name and number; drag them somewhere else, or drop them on another player to swap. What you see on screen is exactly the image you get.
Next week, in under a minute
Keep the link to your lineup (for example, send it to yourself on WhatsApp). Next week, open that link, change the opponent and a name or two, and you have the new image. The old link stays as it was.
Children’s names stay protected
Nothing leaves your phone: no account, no server and nothing stored in the browser. By default, surnames are shortened ("Rodrigo S."). Anyone with the link can see the names, so only share it with the team.
Frequently asked questions
Is the lineup maker free?
Yes. It costs nothing, needs no sign-up and has no ads. DorsalCUP is funded by the tournaments clubs organise on the platform.
Where is my lineup saved?
Only in the link. Nothing is stored on a server or on your phone. If you close the page without keeping the link, the lineup is gone, so bookmark it or send it to yourself.
Can I share the image on WhatsApp and Instagram?
Yes. "Share image" opens your phone’s share sheet with the image ready, as a post (4:5), a story (9:16) or a square (1:1). On a computer, the image is downloaded.
Can I use it for the squad call-up?
Yes. In squad mode the image shows the selected players, the meeting time and place, the kit and a note. You can also copy everything as text to paste into the group.
Which formations are there?
For 11-a-side: 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-4-2 diamond, 4-2-3-1, 4-1-4-1, 4-5-1, 4-3-1-2, 3-5-2, 3-4-3, 3-4-2-1, 5-3-2 and 5-4-1. There are also formations for 9, 8, 7 and 5-a-side and futsal, and you can drag players to any position.
Can I add photos or the club badge?
No, on purpose: they would not fit in the link and most teams are youth teams. You can choose the shirt colours and generate a simple badge with the club’s initials.
What about planning who plays how long?
Use "Plan playing time": it opens the DorsalCUP playing time planner with the same players, to share the minutes fairly.
