“These teams are rigged, mate”
Everyone thinks the person picking teams has favourites. Arguments before kick-off. Every week.

If you organise a weekly kickabout, you've lived this. Lineup fixes it.

Features

Everything your football group needs

Built specifically for the weekly game. Not a league tool. Not a generic calendar. Just the features that actually matter.

Core Feature

Fair team generation

No more arguments. Lineup balances teams using each player's ability, fitness, game IQ, and goalkeeper rating. The algorithm considers team cohesion too — so you get genuinely competitive games, not just equal average ratings.

IQ-weighted ratings for smarter balance
Position-aware: distributes goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and attackers evenly
Share the lineup publicly — no login needed for players to see it

Team Balance

Ability 98% matched

Fitness 96% matched

Game IQ 99% matched

Goalkeeper 100% matched

Bibs Skins

How It Works

Set up once. Run on autopilot.

Three steps to take your group from WhatsApp chaos to organised, fair football.

Create your group & add players

Set up your team, give it a name, and add your players. Import from CSV if you've got a list already, or add them one by one. Rate each player on ability, fitness, game IQ, and goalkeeping.

Schedule a game & collect signups

Pick a date, time, and venue. Share the link. Players confirm attendance directly — no more counting WhatsApp replies. You'll see who's in, who's out, and who hasn't responded yet.

Generate fair teams & play

Hit generate. Lineup creates two balanced sides in seconds based on who's signed up. Share the lineup, play the game, record the result. Track stats and watch the leaderboard build over time.

Purpose-Built

Not a league tool. Not a generic app.
Built for your weekly game.

Lineup isn't trying to manage fixtures, standings, or tournament brackets. It's built for one thing: helping groups of mates who play together every week have a better, fairer, more organised game. Whether it's 5-a-side, 7-a-side, or anything in between.

Questions? Sorted.

Yes. The core features — team generation, game scheduling, player management, signups, stats — are completely free with no time limit. We'll introduce optional premium features later (like AI-powered team balancing and automated notifications), but the free tier gives you everything you need to run your group.

Each player has ratings for ability, fitness, game IQ, and goalkeeping. Lineup uses an IQ-weighted algorithm that considers all four dimensions plus team cohesion to create two sides that are as evenly matched as possible. It's transparent — everyone can see the ratings and the balance score.

No. The admin creates the group and adds players. Lineups and game pages can be shared via a public link — no account required to view them. Players can optionally create accounts to manage their own signups and see their stats.

Any size. Whether you've got 10 players for 5-a-side or 30 in a rotating weekly group, Lineup handles it. Set a player cap per game, and the algorithm generates balanced teams from whoever signs up.

Spond and TeamSnap are general-purpose sports tools. They handle scheduling but don't generate fair teams based on player ability. Lineup is built exclusively for football groups — the team generation algorithm, player ratings, and stats system are designed for the way casual football groups actually work.

Lineup is a web app that works great on mobile browsers. A native app is on the roadmap, but the mobile web experience is designed to feel just as good.

Fair teams. Full squads. Zero hassle.
