Build football lineups.

Add to Obsidian
  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates2

This plugin allows you to build football lineups in Obsidian by specifying a formation and a list of players.

The lineup is defined in a codeblock and is visible in Preview mode.

Using the Plugin

To create a lineup you need to define a lineup codeblock with the following options:

Formation

The formation option is one of the currently available formations:

  • 433
  • 4231
  • 442
  • 442-diamond
  • 523
  • 532
  • 541
  • 352
  • 343

Players

The players option defines the starting 11, ordered from bottom to top and left to right.

i.e. for a 433: Mendy,Chilwell,Silva,Rudiger,James,Mount,Jorginho,Kante,Werner,Lukaku,Havertz

Example

```lineup
formation: 4231
players: Kepa,Chilwell,Silva,Rudi,Azpi,Kante,Kovacic,CHO,Mount,Havertz,Lukaku
```

Example

SVG Images

The images used are generated from SVGs from the Wikimedia Commons with positions moved around to create new formations, and position names replaced by custom player names.

Special Thanks

This wouldn't have been possible without using THeK3nger's Chess Plugin as a reference.
