En français, la distinction entre les équivalents de «roster» (l'équipe au complet) et «line-up» (les joueurs désignés pour un match donné ou la mise en jeu initiale) est moins nette qu'en anglais; selon les contextes, «formation», «composition de l'équipe» ou «alignement» pourront rendre correctement l'une ou l'autre notion. Ainsi, «line-up/lineup of a team» ou «team's line-up/lineup», «make-up/makeup of a team» ou «team's make-up/makeup» se rendent souvent par «composition de l'équipe». 3, record 1, French, - formation
