Overview
The default starting lineup is managed from the Players tab within a team's settings. You can designate which players should automatically appear in the starting lineup for matches, assign captain status, and determine which players appear on the bench. Changes save automatically without needing to click a Save button.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure the following are in place:
• Players must already be added to the team roster.
• You must have access to the team's settings in Assets > Clubs and Teams.
How to manage the default starting lineup
To get started, click Assets in the left sidebar, then select Clubs and Teams. Next, select the team you want to configure and click the Players tab. The Players tab displays two sections: the left side shows the full roster of players belonging to the team, and the right side shows the default starting lineup and default bench lineup.

Adding a player to the starting lineup
To add a player to the starting lineup, first click Add Starter under Default Starting Lineup on the right side of the screen, then search for the player's name. Once you've found them, toggle Starting on, and toggle Bench on as well if the player should also appear on the bench. If the player is the team captain, toggle Captain on. When you're finished, click the X in the top right to exit. Changes save automatically when you toggle options on or off - no Save button needed.

Editing a starter's status
To modify a player's starting status, captain status, or bench status, follow the same process: click Add Starter, search for the player, then adjust the toggles as needed. The changes apply automatically.
Understanding the toggle options
There are three toggles available for each player, each controlling a different aspect of their lineup status:
• Starting toggle: When enabled, the player automatically appears in the starting lineup for new matches created under this team.
• Bench toggle: When enabled, the player appears on the bench. A player can have both Starting and Bench toggles enabled.
• Captain toggle: Designates the player as team captain, which appears in broadcast graphics and match records.
Automatic saving
Unlike other sections of LIGR Live that require clicking a Save button, changes made in the starting lineup section save automatically. As soon as you toggle Starting, Bench, or Captain on or off, the change is recorded.
