Football Formation Builder

A football formation builder lets you visualise how a team lines up on the pitch. Choose a system — 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 3-5-2, 3-4-3, 5-3-2 and more — and the tool arranges the goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders and forwards in the correct shape on a green pitch.

Formations are written from defence to attack: a 4-3-3 means four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards (plus the goalkeeper, who is always assumed). Different shapes suit different styles — 4-4-2 is balanced and direct, 4-3-3 favours wingers and pressing, while 3-5-2 packs the midfield and uses wing-backs. You can optionally type your own eleven player names (goalkeeper first) to label each shirt, making it perfect for planning a five-a-side or eleven-a-side line-up, a fantasy team, or a coaching session. Everything renders instantly in your browser with no sign-up. Switch formations to compare shapes side by side and find the set-up that fits your players.
