Line-up template: the starting XI as a graphic

The line-up is one of the most-viewed posts on a matchday – players share it and families look for their names. A line-up template places the eleven in your formation on the pitch, with shirt numbers and names.

Examples as a post and a story

Examples use fictional clubs. In your account, your own crests, colours and sponsors will appear.

What the template fills in automatically

Starting XI in the chosen formation (4-4-2, 4-3-3 …)
Shirt numbers in the design of your kit
Names in your preferred format (e.g. "L. Becker")
Captain and goalkeeper marked
Both crests and your sponsors

How to get the most out of it

Post about an hour before kick-off – that is when attention is highest.
The line-up can also be taken from a photo of the team sheet.
Tag the players in the caption so they share the post.
