Matchsheet

It is Saturday morning, the team is arriving, and the group chat wants to know who is starting. Matchsheet turns that into a picture you can send in about a minute. Pick a shape from the catalogue, anything from five-a-side up to a full eleven, drop your squad onto the pitch and tap share. What lands in the chat is a clean team sheet with names, shirt numbers, the goalkeeper, the captain, the bench and the match details: who you are playing, where, and what time to be there. Kit colours come from your own team, so the sheet looks like your side rather than a template. Building the line-up and sharing the image are free forever, with no watermark, no advert and no wait. Coaches of young teams carry a problem the professionals do not: everyone is supposed to play. Matchsheet Plus splits the match into two, three or four periods and lets you arrange a different eleven for each one, then shows at a glance who is still short of minutes, before kick-off rather than after the final whistle. Plus also saves the shapes you actually play: type 4-2-2 and it becomes yours to reuse, next to the forty-six the app already knows. The whole catalogue, every format and every match detail stay free whether or not you ever buy anything. Nothing you type is uploaded either. Player names, numbers and colours live on this phone, there is no account to create and no sign-in to remember. Made for grassroots and youth football, futsal and small-sided games, and for the coach, the assistant and the parent who ends up holding the clipboard.
