Lineups and formations
1.1 Requesting lineup and formation data
One of the most vital parts of a well-designed football application is displaying lineups and formations. To display lineups correctly, you need to retrieve data using the Sportmonks Football API. The key includes for fetching lineup and formation data are:
formations→ Retrieves the formations of both teams.lineups→ Provides detailed player lineup data.sidelined.sideline→ Lists injured or suspended players.
1.1 Requesting formations
Each team starts their match in a specific formation. Formations dictate the positioning of players on the field and are essential for lineup visualisation. There are many formations available (e.g., 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 3-5-2). You can find every known formation in the definitions section.
To request formations, use the formations include in your API request:

},1.3 Requesting detailed positions
Each player has a detailed position (e.g., Goalkeeper, Right-back, Central Midfield, Attacker). This is determined by the team’s formation and tactics.
To request detailed positions for players, use the nested include lineups.detailedposition:

},1.7 Predictive Line-ups
Another cool feature that has to do with the line-ups is predictive line-ups. In API 3.0, getting a line-up before the definitive line-up is released is now possible. When you use the “Fixture By ID” endpoint with the lineup include, you will see a line-up way before the actual line-up is released.
By using the include metadata, you can find the lineup_confirmed type. The type will be false if the club has yet to release the line-up. This is when we show a predicted line-up based on previous line-ups in games, suspended and injured players.

},Once the team/club officially releases their line-up, it will be set to true. Then the line-up we offer should reflect the final line-up as it is during the game.
Now, let's explain how you can display the lineups in a visual manner.
2. Displaying lineups in your football application
The lineup display in the application is based on a structured approach that ensures consistency across formations, formation positions, and detailed positions. The new processor streamlines the logic to eliminate discrepancies in the formation_field.
Rules of thumb:
The formation position and formation determine the detailed position and formation field.
The formation position is permanently assigned from bottom to top (for vertical formations) or right to left (for horizontal formations), relative to the home and away teams’ perspectives.
2.1 Formation Data Structure
Each team lineup consists of:
Formation position – The numerical placement of a player within the formation. (1-11)
Formation Field – The formation field provides a grid-based coordinate to visually position players on the field, making it easier to display them in a tactical formation view. (Formatted as line:line_position - like 2:4)
Detailed Position – The player's role based on their placement in the formation. (type ids)

4. Summary
The formation position determines a player's numerical position within the formation.
The formation field provides a structured coordinate system for lineup display.
The detailed position assigns standard football roles based on formation positioning.
The new logic ensures consistency and accuracy in displaying formations across all teams.
