Pick a club and start from its current squad. Hundreds of teams are ready to go, from the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Super Lig to national sides. Every player carries real data, so the team you put together looks like the real thing rather than a blank template. Bring in a player from any other club and see how your ideal soccer starting XI would line up.
Not every match is eleven against eleven. Choose any player count from 5 to 11 and Quick Lineup shows only the formations that fit it, whether that is a five-a-side soccer team, a seven-a-side pitch or a full squad. Type in your own names for a Sunday league side, set shirt numbers and colors, and the team is ready in a couple of minutes.
Apply the shapes used across world football in one click: 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 3-5-2 or 5-3-2. Each one changes how the team plays. Go with 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 if you want to attack, 4-4-2 for a balanced side, or 5-3-2 when you would rather sit deeper and defend. Whether you call it football or soccer, the formation you pick decides more about your style than any single player does.
Add substitutes alongside your starting 11 and move players between the pitch and the bench as often as you like. It is the fastest way to try a change before kick-off: swap a striker for an extra midfielder, push a full-back forward, or bring in a player from another club and see straight away how the side looks. Nothing is locked in, so you can keep testing until the eleven feels right.
Save your finished soccer lineup as a high-quality image and post it on X, Instagram or Facebook, or copy the link and drop it straight into the group chat. Choose how players appear on the pitch, in photo, classic jersey or circle style, and add ratings and statistics to give people something to argue about. You can also embed the builder on your own website with an iframe, and Quick Lineup works in 19 languages.
Nothing to install, no account. Quick Lineup handles two kinds of team: a real club, loaded with its current squad, or your own side with names you type in. Pick a shape like 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, name the bench, then save the image or send the link. Sunday league managers use it to post the team line-up in the group chat before kick-off, which settles most arguments before anyone reaches the pitch.
Stuck on a shape? The football formations guide explains what each one does on the pitch, and the step-by-step guide covers every option in the builder.
Small-sided football needs its own shapes. A 3-2-1 suits a seven-a-side pitch; try to copy an 11-a-side system onto it and the wide players have nowhere to go. Custom mode lists only formations that match your player count: five each for 5 to 10 players and seven for a full eleven, 37 in all. If you play the same format every week, the 5-a-side lineup builder, the 7-a-side formation creator and the 9v9 lineup builder open straight into it.
Each club page opens with the starting XI that team used in its last match. Change one player or all eleven.
Running a site or a fan page? You can embed the builder on your own website with a single iframe. On a phone, the free Quick Lineup app does the same job for iPhone and Android.
A lineup builder is a tool for placing a team's starting XI and substitutes on a pitch in a chosen formation. Some sites call it a lineup maker or a line-up creator; the job is the same. Quick Lineup does it free in the browser, with 11 formations for real club squads and 37 for your own team from 5 to 11-a-side, and saves the result as an image.
A formation is the shape, such as 4-3-3 or 3-5-2, and a lineup is the eleven names you put into that shape. The same formation can hold very different lineups: a 4-3-3 with two holding midfielders defends much deeper than one with an attacking number eight. That is why Quick Lineup works as a formation creator first and a lineup maker second. You pick the shape, then fill it.
Yes, custom mode covers every player count from 5 to 11, with five formations each for 5- to 10-a-side and seven for 11-a-side. A 7-a-side team gets shapes such as 3-2-1, 2-3-1 and 2-2-2, and 9-a-side gets 3-3-2, 3-2-3 and 4-3-1. You type in your own player names, because small-sided teams are rarely in any database.
Yes, pro mode loads the current squad of hundreds of clubs and national teams, so it doubles as a squad builder for sides like Real Madrid, Arsenal or PSG. Choose one of 11 formations, drag players into it and use the transfer search to bring in anyone from another club. The club pages open with the XI that team fielded in its most recent match, which saves rebuilding it by hand.
Yes, substitutes sit on a bench beside the starting XI, and you can swap players between the two as often as you like. Every player's name and shirt number can be edited, the outfield jersey takes two colors with a separate one for the goalkeeper, and in pro mode you can also set ratings, goals and cards. All of it shows up in the downloaded image.
The web version is free, needs no account and runs in any browser in 19 languages. Finished lineups download as PNG images, and each one gets its own link you can post in a group chat or embed on a website with an iframe. There is also a free app for iPhone and Android, in English and Turkish, where custom teams work offline.
