How are formations placed on the field?

Section titled “How are formations placed on the field?”

Since the 2026-04 release the lineup editor generates positions dynamically from the values you configure here:

  • Numeric formations (e.g. 4-4-2, 6-0, 5-1) are stacked line by line: the rearmost line near the own goal, the forwardmost line near the opponent’s goal, additional lines evenly spaced in between.
  • Goalkeeper is added automatically when Goalkeeper is enabled in the sport type dialog.
  • Named formations without numbers (e.g. Standard, Single, Double) are translated into a grid layout.
  • Position names on the markers are picked from the sport type’s Positions pool — keywords like Goalkeeper, Defender, Midfielder, Striker are matched first.

Multilingual Support

Sports and their properties can be maintained in multiple languages:

  1. Tap the language icon next to the name
