For Possession Game
Recommended Formations:
- 4-1-2-3
- 4-3-3
- 4-2-1-3
Logic:
These formations create natural triangles across the pitch, facilitating short passing interplay.
For Quick Counter
Recommended Formations:
- 4-2-1-3
- 4-2-4
- 3-2-3-2
Logic:
The goal is to have players in advanced positions the moment the ball is recovered. The 4-2-4 is extremely aggressive, while the 4-2-1-3 offers good balance.
For Long Ball Counter
Recommended Formations:
- 5-2-3
- 5-3-2
- 4-4-2
Logic:
Formations with 5 defenders create a defensive wall, with forwards positioned to receive long balls and exploit space.
For Out Wide
Recommended Formations:
- 4-1-2-3
- 4-2-3-1
- 4-3-3
Logic:
These are formations that naturally use wingers to isolate them in one-on-one situations and get to the byline.
For Long Ball
Recommended Formations:
- 4-4-2
- 4-2-2-2
- 3-5-2
Logic:
The focus is on having two forwards who can contest aerial balls, with a combative midfield to win the second ball.
