# GET /v2/fixtures/{id}/lineups

Group: Fixtures

Lineups, formations and missing players, with each player’s match rating and statistics.

Note: Coverage is graded per fixture: top leagues have lineups (and per-player ratings and statistics), many youth, amateur and friendly matches never get them. A player’s statistics use the same keys as the team statistics where they mean the same thing (passes, accuratePasses, shotsOnGoal, tackles, …; bigChancesCreated = big chances he made for a teammate); every …Percentage is a 0–100 share, except basketball’s trueShootingPercentage, which can pass 100 (a few free throws and a three). rating and statistics are null for a player who did not play; avgRating (football) is the player’s season average, listed mostly before and around kick-off. position is a word per sport (G is a goalkeeper in football, a goalie in ice hockey, a guard in basketball); positionCode keeps the source letter. A fixture without lineups (yet) returns 200 with confirmed: false and empty sides — 404 only for an id that does not exist. During a live match this is refreshed about every 30 seconds.
