How it works
This 7v7 soccer lineup maker is for the small-sided game U9 and U10 teams play: six field players and a goalkeeper. It sets out a 2-3-1 for every quarter and shares the bench fairly.

Make the lineup
Replace the sample names with your team, one per line. Under More options, tick May play goal beside your keepers; nobody else goes in goal. A game is two 25-minute halves, so each quarter column is half of a half: change players at the first stoppage after the midpoint.
How the bench is shared
Seven play, the rest sit. Ten players over four quarters make 12 bench turns, so eight players sit once and two sit twice. Press Next game and the ones who sat least sit first next week.
Questions and answers
Can a subbed player go back on?
Yes. Small-sided rules for 7v7 allow unlimited substitutions at any stoppage, so a player can come off and return. A game may not start or carry on with fewer than five players a side.
Why 2-3-1?
It is the chart's fixed shape: two defenders, three midfielders and one striker in front of the keeper. There is no formation menu. Playing 3-2-1? Read the left midfielder as a third defender; the bench turns do not change.
What is the build-out line?
A line across the field midway between the penalty area and halfway. When your keeper holds the ball or takes a goal kick, the other team must drop behind it. It gives your defenders room, so pick ones who are calm on the ball.
