FAQ
Good questions.
How do I create a football lineup on iPhone?
Open Football Tactics, choose one of the ten 11-a-side formations, then add player names, numbers and optional photos. Arrange your players and export the lineup as an image. No account is required.
How do I share the starting eleven with my team?
Export your lineup as a 1080 × 1440 image and send it to your team’s group chat. The free version includes sharing with a watermark; Pro removes the watermark with a one-time purchase.
Is Football Tactics a tactics board?
No. It is a lineup maker. You choose a formation, dress your players and share a beautiful lineup card. If you want arrows and movement drawings, this is not that app, and we like to be upfront about it.
Is it free?
Yes, to download and use: unlimited lineups and players, every formation, templates, photos and sharing. Football Tactics Pro is a one-time purchase (no subscription) that unlocks all pitches, the jersey library and editor, and sharing without the watermark.
Do I need an account?
No account, no sign-in. Open the app and build.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Everything is stored on your device, so you can build and export lineups without a connection. If iCloud backup is on, changes sync when you are back online.
Can I use my own photos?
Yes. Add a photo from your library to any player, and switch the whole lineup between jerseys and photos with one tap. Photos stay on your device and in your own iCloud.
Which formations are included?
Ten 11-a-side formations: 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-1-4-1, 4-5-1, 4-3-2-1, 3-5-2, 3-4-3, 5-3-2, 5-4-1. Each one comes with a small diagram and a one-line explanation of how it plays.
What do I get when I share?
A sharp 1080 × 1440 image of your lineup, ready for WhatsApp, Instagram, X or any group chat.
Which devices and languages?
iPhone running iOS 17 or later. The app is available in English, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and German.
Are real players or club logos included?
