Welcome! Football-Lineups.com is a collaborative Database where football (soccer) fans can review and post teams tactics and formations. In Football, different formations can be used depending on whether you wish to adopt a more attacking or defensive style of play. In the modern game, fans, journalists and pundits alike are increasingly aware of the tactical nuances and formations. The ever expanding database can lead to a greater understanding of the tactics involved. The aim of the site is to show the match formation of a team by providing fan coverage of several leagues. We currently have more than 560.000 line-ups and your additions and/or corrections would be always appreciated. Formations are described as the number of players in each area from the defensive line (not including the goalkeeper). For example 4-4-2 describes the formation as having: 4 defenders, 4 midfielders and 2 forwards. Conventionally the formation can be described with 3 numbers, like before, or with 4-numbered (e.g. 4-4-1-1). There are a myriad of reasons for following the in-depth statistics and information provided this site. Perhaps you are simply a statistician with an interest in historical football lineups. This site started up as a method of following the tactics and formations across world football. (paid link) As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. People said Superb site. I work in the US football television broadcasting industry and find football-lineups.com, integral to my preparations. I work for canal plus on the premier league. Could you please put more blah blah. Other than that it s a great site. Great football website, congratulations for your great work. I am a sports journalist in Colombia and consult regularly. I am actually amazed by de amount of information in your site. I cant think of anything to improve it. I value the thorough analytic descriptions of the players. A player is not just a defender, midfielder or a forward, but a left back, box to box midfielder etc. That is the all important difference and the reason why I use this site so much. What a site that is. I'm slightly ashamed to have not seen it before. Brilliant, huge amount of useful information about tactical lineups and players positions. The process to get to the info you really need is not so intuitive, but with such a quantity of data I dont know if you could do any better then that. THANK YOU again, working as a broadcaster your website is really really appreciated! FL is the site I use the most to prepare my shows. Stats page has unique figures, that don't appear elsewhere
