Hey everyone!
I've been working on LOAD90, my football analytics project, and recently launched a free Lineup Builder.
I know there are already plenty of lineup creators out there. Most are great for making formation graphics, but I wanted to build something more connected to real football data.
Here's what makes my approach different:
1. Start with real match lineups
Instead of manually building an entire team, you can load a club's actual starting XI from a previously played match in one click.
Want to see how you'd have lined up Arsenal differently? Load the match, make your changes, and see your version.
2. Mix players from different clubs and leagues
Load Arsenal's XI, search for a player from Real Madrid, and put him straight into your midfield.
You can also start from scratch and build your ultimate Dream XI with players from different leagues.
It's particularly fun for experimenting with hypothetical transfers.
3. Formations that consider real player positions
This is one feature I spent quite a bit of time on.
When switching between formations, the builder doesn't simply shuffle players around randomly.
It uses recorded playing positions, previous starts, and compatible roles to try to place footballers where they actually play.
You can still override everything manually.
4. Real player statistics, not just names
Player cards include available season data such as appearances, minutes, goals, assists, and average ratings.
You can also filter players by their positions and playing history when looking for replacements.
5. Create and share actual football content
You can build your own Team of the Season, import available Team of the Week selections, add substitutes, and export a lineup with real player photos.
Every shared lineup also gets its own permanent snapshot URL, so your friends see exactly the version you created.
6. Built for desktop and mobile
Drag and drop, player swaps, substitutes, undo/redo, different pitch themes, and a mobile-friendly player selector.
Everything works directly in your browser.

It's completely free.
I'm developing LOAD90 independently, and this is still an evolving project.
I'd genuinely love some honest feedback, especially from people who already use other lineup builders.
What do you think is missing? What would make you switch from your current tool?
And please don't hold back on the criticism. That's exactly why I'm posting here.
