About Starting11

Starting11 was created with a simple mission: to give every football fan the tools to bring their tactical vision to life. Whether you're debating team selections with friends, analysing formations, or dreaming up your perfect XI, we provide the platform to make it happen.

Starting11 has a rich history spanning over two decades. It began life as a Yahoo Fantasy Football community in 2003 under the name 'myteamtalk.info' before migrating to a custom Fantasy Football game on Starting11.com in 2005. Following a successful BETA season, the decision was made to retire the game and focus on building the community around Yahoo Fantasy and the emerging FPL game. The community blossomed into one of the largest fantasy football communities. After a hiatus, Starting11 was relaunched as a lineup predictor tool in 2021 and has now evolved into the comprehensive lineup creation platform you see today, serving FPL and football fans worldwide.

Starting11 is a free, web-based platform that lets you create, customise, and share football lineups with ease. Choose from real club squads or build custom teams, select your formation, position your players, and share your tactical masterpiece with the world.

Our platform offers comprehensive lineup creation tools including real-time club squad data, multiple formation options, intuitive drag-and-drop positioning, instant sharing capabilities, and a growing community of football enthusiasts sharing their tactical ideas.

We maintain current squad information for major football clubs and competitions worldwide. From Premier League giants to Championship challengers, international teams to European clubs, our database covers the teams and players you care about most.

Dream big with our custom lineup feature. Mix and match players from any club or era to create your ultimate fantasy team. Want to see Messi and Ronaldo on the same team? Or recreate classic lineups from football history? The choice is yours.

Football is better when shared. Explore recent lineups created by other users, discover new tactical ideas, and join conversations about team selection and formation strategy. Every shared lineup adds to our growing community of football tacticians.

Whether you're a casual fan settling pub debates, a coach planning tactics, or a football analyst exploring formations, Starting11 adapts to your needs. Our intuitive interface works seamlessly on phones, tablets, and desktops.

We believe great football tools should be accessible to everyone. Starting11 remains completely free to use, with all core features available to every user. Create unlimited lineups, share with friends, and explore community creations at no cost.

We're constantly improving Starting11 based on user feedback and the evolving needs of the football community. Regular updates bring new features, expanded club coverage, and enhanced functionality to make your lineup creation experience even better.

We envision Starting11 as the go-to destination for football lineup creation and tactical discussion. A place where fans from around the world come together to share their passion for the beautiful game through the art of team selection.
