What is Team Generator?
A free web app for picking fair, balanced teams before astroturf or five-a-side kickabouts. Type in your own players or head to the Real Teams tab to pick real footballers from the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Süper Lig and hundreds of domestic leagues worldwide — complete with club crests. The app balances positions (goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, striker) and skill ratings automatically. Then drag players anywhere on the pitch, share the lineup as a PNG photo or emoji text straight to your WhatsApp group, and save results with scores and notes.
