Setting up your roster, lineup, and formation

Set up your team roster, lineup, and formation to get the most out of Veo. Assigning jersey numbers and saving a default lineup saves time before every match; and if you have Analytics 2, it also links player names to their performance data automatically.

Requirements

• Available only for Football (Soccer)
• A Veo team with coach or admin access
• Players invited to the team
• The match lineup is visible to all team members and club admins, and editable by Team Admins and Team Editors
• The default lineup is only visible and editable to Team Admins and Team Editors

Add players and assign jersey numbers

Jersey numbers connect players to their data across the Veo platform. We recommend assigning them at the start of the season, assuming numbers don't change match to match.

1. Go to your team page and open the Members tab
2. Make sure all players are invited to the team
3. Assign a jersey number to each player
4. Optionally, assign a captain — this will be pre-filled in every match lineup

Important: Roster changes only apply to matches going forward. If you assign jersey numbers after a match has already been recorded, those numbers won't appear in that historical match. To update a past match, open it in the Editor and update the lineup there.

Set a default lineup

A default lineup is automatically copied to every new match, so you don't have to start from scratch each time. It's ideal for teams with a consistent starting XI.

Only Team Admins and Team Editors can create, edit or view the default lineup. Once it's copied into a match, everyone who can see that match's lineup can see it there.

1. Go to your team page and open the Lineup tab
2. Select your formation and add your starting players
3. Save the lineup as your default

Before each match, review the pre-filled lineup, add substitutes, and make any match-specific adjustments.

How to access the lineup for a match

You can open and edit the lineup directly from inside a recording.

On desktop, open the recording and click the Lineup icon in the right-side menu.

On mobile, it appears at the bottom of the screen.

Add players to the match lineup

1. Open the Lineup section for a match
2. Select your team's formation from the available options
3. Click on a position on the field to add a player
4. Choose a player from the list, or invite a new member if they're not on the team yet
5. Confirm their position and assign a jersey number

You can also add substitutes to complete your lineup.

Once complete, your lineup will look similar to this:

Assign Team Captain and Player of the Match

You can highlight key players by assigning two special roles: Team Captain and Player of the Match. In the lineup, scroll below your formation to find these options.

The captain will show a captain's badge on their lineup avatar.

The Player of the Match will display a star (⭐) on their lineup avatar.

View a player's Focus Card from the lineup

In the Editor, you can open a detailed performance card for any player directly from the match lineup, without leaving the video.

1. Open a match in the Editor
2. Click the Lineup icon in the right-side panel. This opens the lineup view showing your team, formation, and all players in their positions

3. Click any player in the lineup to open their Focus Card. You'll see their name, jersey number, and position at the top

   Note: Full stats, physical data, and maps in the Focus Card are available with Analytics 2.

   

4. Navigate between the three tabs to explore their data:
   1. Stats: event data for this match, including goals, assists, fouls, penalties, and more
   2. Physical: AI-tracked physical performance, including distance, sprints, top speed, and average speed
   3. Maps: a position heat map and shot map for this player. Use the Heat map interval slider to filter by time period, for example, first half vs second half
5. Close the Focus Card with the ✕ button and tap a different player in the lineup to compare
