What It Is

Lineup is a football team management mobile app developed and operated by UK-based 20 Miles Ltd, designed for teams, coaches, managers, and players. It is not positioned as a general-purpose project management tool or club ERP system, but rather focuses on the day-to-day operations of football teams: fixtures, training, lineups, formations, player availability, and performance statistics.

Core Capabilities

Based on the available text, Lineup’s core modules include fixture management, training and small-sided match scheduling, drag-and-drop lineup creation, player position and formation visualization, and team statistics. Coaches can schedule matches and training sessions and organize activities around the team calendar. When setting a lineup, they can quickly adjust player positions by dragging and dropping, helping optimize match strategy. On the data side, the product supports tracking individual performance metrics such as goals and assists to inform lineup decisions.

Collaboration, Permissions, and Deployment

Lineup uses a private team mechanism: members cannot freely search for and join teams, but must join using a team joining code provided by the team organizer. Users who create a team by mistake can delete it as the team owner, indicating that the product has a basic concept of team ownership. However, the text does not clarify whether there are fine-grained permission distinctions between coaches, managers, and players. In terms of deployment, it is only clearly described as a mobile app operated by the official provider; no information was found about self-hosting or a web version.

Pricing

Lineup is currently free to download and use for teams, managers, coaches, and players. The official description states that subscription fees will be introduced for Pro features as more functionality is released in the future, but no pricing, plan tiers, billing cycles, or list of Pro features has been disclosed yet.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a clearly defined vertical use case, coverage of high-frequency football team management workflows, and coach-friendly drag-and-drop lineup creation with visual position adjustments. It is also currently free, making adoption costs low. Its weaknesses lie in the lack of public information: there is no mention of third-party calendars, messaging tools, APIs, data export, security and compliance, backup strategy, or service levels, and there is also no detailed explanation of the permission system.

Who It’s For and Access in China

Lineup is suitable for amateur football teams, youth academy teams, school teams, community clubs, and coaching groups that need lightweight management of fixtures and lineups. The available text does not provide information on access from mainland China, so its accessibility there is unknown.
