Our mission
Every match should have one page that says who is likely to start, and why. Clubs confirm their teams about an hour before kick-off, and until then most sources say nothing at all while the ones that do say something rarely say where it came from. That hour is what this site is for, and it fills it with counts rather than opinions.
Our vision
To be the place where a predicted lineup can be checked, not just read. Publishing an eleven is easy, and almost nobody publishes what became of it afterwards. A prediction nobody marks is an opinion with a formation drawn round it.
Who this is for
This site is built for three kinds of reader. Fans who want to know who is playing before they watch. Fantasy managers settling a side before a deadline. And journalists who need a specific eleven for a specific match, with the working behind it. Who it is built for is a fact about the site; who reads it is not a claim this page will make.
How we work
The method is arithmetic, and it is the same for every club. A likely XI is built from the elevens a club has actually named in its recent league matches — cup and European ties are left out, because clubs rotate hardest in them. Players listed as injured or suspended are removed before the eleven is chosen. The full weighting is our own.
