The line-up is one of the most popular posts just before kick-off: fans want to know who's playing today, and every player named is happy to share the post. That's exactly what makes the line-up post a powerful reach driver – as long as it looks good.
What belongs in a line-up post
- Starting XI with names and shirt numbers.
- Optional player photos.
- Position or formation (e.g. as a tactical board on the pitch).
- Opponent, date, competition for context.
- Club look – logo, colours, fonts.
Step by step
- Maintain your squad: add players with name, number and (optionally) a photo.
- Add the line-up for the match: starting XI and substitutes.
- Select the post type "Line-up".
- Choose a layout: as a list or as a tactical board on the pitch.
- Generate – ready in Instagram format (1080×1350 px) or as a Story.
The basics of creating graphics are covered in Your first graphic in 3 minutes.
Layout: list or pitch
- List: simple and compact – ideal for lots of names.
- Pitch (tactical board): shows the formation, looks professional and "just like the pros".
- With shirts or photos: depending on how much effort you want to put in.
Tips for more engagement
- Post early – around an hour before kick-off.
- Tag the players – they'll share the post in their Stories.
- Consistent look across all matches, see the club branding guide.
The line-up is part of your complete matchday content – between the announcement and kick-off.
