## What is Select XI?

Select XI is a soccer tactics board that does one thing properly: it lets you build a lineup and make it look good.

Pick a formation, drag your eleven into exactly the shape you want, name them, number them, and export a board you're happy to put in a group chat, a team channel, or a match preview.

BUILD IT THE WAY YOU SEE IT
- 47 formations, from 4-4-2 and 3-5-2 to six, seven and nine-a-side setups
- Drag any player anywhere; positions rename themselves as you move
- Two tactical phases on the same squad: in possession and out of possession
- Copy one phase to the other and adjust from there
- A full substitutes bench, with each sub linked to the starter they cover
- Squad numbers that default sensibly by position, and change when you want

DRAW WHAT YOU MEAN
- Arrows for runs, presses and rotations, in solid, dashed or dotted
- Drop the ball anywhere on the pitch
- Undo and redo the whole board, not just the last thing you touched

WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL
The entire builder lives on your phone. No account, no sign-up, no loading spinner on a touchline with one bar. Open it in airplane mode and everything still works.

EXPORT AND SHARE
Export a clean PNG straight to Photos, Messages, or anywhere else through the share sheet. Or publish a lineup to the Select XI community and share a link that opens on any device.

SELECT XI PRO
A single one-time purchase, not a subscription:
- Exports with no watermark
- High-resolution output at triple density, built for print and big screens

The builder itself stays free, forever, with no ads and no account.

NO TRACKING
No advertising, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Your lineups stay on your device unless you deliberately share one.
