Lenses
Team Shape
Draw the smallest convex polygon enclosing all outfield players of a team, with optional area label.
The Team Shape lens wraps all outfield players of a team in the smallest convex polygon that contains them all. The shape reflects the team's spatial footprint — how much of the pitch they occupy at any given moment.
Activating the lens
- Open the Lenses panel in the sidebar.
- Click the Team Shape tile.
- Use the Team filter to show one or both polygons.
Options
- Team filter — show home polygon, away polygon, or both simultaneously.
- Area label — toggle a label showing the area of the polygon in approximate square metres.
- Fill opacity — adjust how opaque the filled polygon is (0 = outline only).
Reading the output
A small, tight polygon indicates defensive compactness. A large polygon shows the team is spread across the pitch — useful for wide attacks but vulnerable to transitions. Compare both teams' polygons to see which side controls more space. The area label gives a precise number you can track across phases to show how a team's shape changes during a press or recovery.
