TeamCreator's football lineup generator builds matchday-ready graphics from a formation and a list of names. Use it as a starting 11 maker, starting XI generator, or football formation generator: pick 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, drop in your XI, and download it instantly.
How it works
Four steps, under a minute
From template to downloadable graphic — no design skills needed.
1
Choose a formation
Start with 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1, 3-5-2, or any of the presets. Switch formation anytime — players reposition automatically.
2
Add your XI
Type player names and numbers. Mark the captain, set positions, and include subs — the generator handles the rest.
3
Match your style
Swap kit colors, pitch background, and typography. Keep it clean or push it toward your content brand.
4
Export the graphic
Download a high-resolution PNG ready for social. The generator handles sizing for feed, stories, and thumbnails.
