Free football lineup generator.

From the lineup to the app

What the app does after the lineup.

In Caneta, the lineup starts from the call-up replies: you select players among those available, the others sit this match out. When you send it, each player gets their own notification: selected with the time and place, sitting this match out, or bringing the kit. If you change the lineup, only the players affected are told.

The app also prepares the lineup message to paste into the group and counts rotations over the season, so you see who has already sat out, up to the rotation king in the Hall of Fame. Positions stay in your message: the app handles who plays, tactics stay with the coach.

To decide once who plays when there are too many players, write it into your Football Team Rules: Template for a Casual Team.

After the final whistle, record score, scorers and assists on the Football Match Sheet: Free Template for an Amateur Team.

Before every match

Pick the lineup in five steps.

1. Start from the call-up replies: only available players count, those who have not replied get a reminder or are left out.
2. Apply the rotation rule: those who did not play last time come first.
3. Put one player in each position, then choose the subs and their order.
4. Tell players sitting out privately, in one sentence, with the promise of the next match.
5. Send the lineup the day before at the latest, with the meeting time, so a sub has time to organise.
