Why a Template Helps
Most "looking for club" posts fail because they are too open-ended. A club should not have to interrogate you for the basics. The fastest way to get better replies is to post in a format that already answers the screening questions serious clubs ask.
Copy-Paste LFT Template
Use this format and fill in the blanks:
LFC
Platform: [Current Gen / Old Gen]
Region: [UK / EU / NA East / NA West / etc.]
Main position: [ST / CAM / CDM / CB / GK / ANY]
Secondary positions: [Optional]
Availability: [Days + time zone]
Mic: [Yes / No]
Playstyle: [Short description]
What I want: [Casual / competitive / trial / long-term club]
Extra: [Anything else clubs should know]
Example of a Strong Post
LFC
Platform: Current Gen
Region: UK
Main position: CDM
Secondary positions: CM, CB
Availability: Mon-Thu 8pm-11pm UK
Mic: Yes
Playstyle: Stay-back CDM, simple passer, covers transitions first
What I want: Organised club that plays regularly and runs trials properly
This works because it is easy to evaluate. A club can tell in ten seconds whether the fit is real.
What To Avoid
- "Can play anywhere" unless you actually mean it and have done it.
- Overloading your post with achievements that cannot be checked.
- Leaving out availability. This kills more good matches than skill difference does.
- Posting without platform or region.
Where To Post It
Once your template is filled out, post it on the Players Looking board so clubs can filter by position and region. If you also use Discord or Reddit, keep the same structure there. Consistency makes you look organised.
What To Do After Posting
Be ready for the next step. Clubs will usually ask for a trial, schedule, or profile link. Read our guide to Pro Clubs trials so you know what to expect when replies start coming in.
