Submit Team Lineups
As a Club Manager or a Club Lineup Manager, you can add players and team officials of your club to the match. To do so, click on the tab with the name of your club.
Add Players
To expand the list of Available players, click on the Load Available players slide button. After the list is expanded, it is possible to move players from/to the lineup and choose their roles.
Select the players for the match from that list, marking the corresponding fields on the right side of the player's name. It is possible to select the following fields (use the arrow button)
L (if the player is in the line-up),
SL (if the player plays in the starting line-up),
GK (if the player is a goalkeeper),
CP (if the player is a captain).
Before you move the players to the lineup, you need to enter their shirt numbers (without them, it won't be possible to transfer them). It is mandatory to have at least one player designated as a goalkeeper.
Sanctioned players are marked in red, and depending on the configuration, specific to each country, the system can also block these players from being transferred to the line-up.
Players with set unavailabilities for the date/time of the match are also marked red, but they are not blocked from being added to the line-up.
After you have marked all necessary players, press the ➡️ arrow button (located at the top right side of the list of available players, next to the "Refresh" button).
Slide off the ‘'Load available players’' button if you want to check just the Line-up display
Another very useful feature is the "Quick Entry of players." By clicking the "Refresh" button, the system automatically fills in the "L", "SL", "GK", and "CP" fields with the data from the previous match.
Add Team Officials
On the same screen, you can insert "Team officials". To do so:
Click on the "Edit" button to enable entering the head coach, assistant coach, goalkeeper coach, physiotherapist, doctor, kitman, physical trainer, and field officer.
Of course, provided they already exist and are correctly registered in the system.
To save the changes, press the "Save" button.
Appointing Unavailable Persons to the Match
Unavailability for persons other than Match Officials will be available in the COMET system in Q2 of 2026.
When appointing an unavailable referee or match official to the match, they will appear on the list marked in red.
The example below presents the unavailability set by the user who also has the role of Head Coach for a club playing on the same date that he is unavailable.
When he’s about to be appointed to the match, the system will display his name colored in red, meaning that he is unavailable for the time the match was scheduled. This information is provided for the appointment of staff to the match; in this example, it does not serve as a block to disable the addition of this Person as a Head Coach.
The same will occur when an unavailable player is added to the match lineup. The name of the unavailable player will be marked in red, and a mouse hover will display the details of their unavailability. Even though they marked themselves as unavailable, you can still add them to the match lineup, in contrast to adding a player or team staff with an unserved disciplinary sanction.
Confirm Lineups
Once you have entered all players and team officials, the final step is to confirm your lineups. To do this, click on the "Edit" button and then select Save as CONFIRMED.
After you have confirmed your lineups, they are considered official, and you will no longer be able to make changes to the lineups. In the event of an extraordinary circumstance, such as a player being injured during warm-up, you must consult an authorized match official, who will be able to make the necessary change in the system.
