  6. 4 Popular Formations 4-4-2 4-3-3 4-5-1 5-3-2

  7. 4-4-2

  8. 4-4-2 strengths • ･Strong attack and defense if used properly • ･Multiple attacking options • ･Can adapt to play more defensive (drop player back) • ･Easy to play and easy for players to understand • ･Easy to improvise new tactics • 4-4-2 weaknesses • ･Can become static and limit movement and creative play • ･Not especially strong in any specific area of play • ･Very predictable to play against and easy to counter • Tactics against a 4-4-2 • The 4-4- 2 formation can be a static a predictable formation so counter that with unpredictable play, i.e., encourage 3rd man runs from midfield, fullbacks to push on and join in the attack.

  9. 4-3-3

  10. 4-3-3 strengths • -Strong attack, can stretch defense with wide players • -Ideal for counter-attacks • 4-3-3 weaknesses • -Midfield have a lot of area to cover defensively • -Vulnerable in wide areas • -Can limit movement of forwards (with 2 forwards they can make unpredictable channel runs and switch positions) • Tactics against a 4-3-3 • -Control the midfield and use wide areas as the opposition only have 3 players covering the full width of the field. However do not over commit defenders forward otherwise you could get caught on the break.

  11. 4-5-1

  12. 4-5-1 strengths • -Strong midfield, easier to control the pace of the game • -More defending options • -Good attacking options if used effectively • 4-5-1 weaknesses • -Striker must be strong (able to hold up ball and hold off defenders) • -Midfielders must be able to support otherwise you limit your attacking options and will encourage the opposition to pressure at all times • Tactics against a 4-5-1 • Encourage wide defenders to join in the attack at all times to even out the numbers in midfield. They only have 1 player in attack and therefore does not require 4 defenders sitting back at all times.

  13. 5-3-2

  14. 5-3-2 Strengths • -Strong midfield and defensive coverage on the center of the field. • -Can switch easily between offensive and defensive modes. • 5-3-2 Weaknesses • -Requires high level physical effort to sustain attacking options. • -Difficult to give full support both attack and defense. • Tactics against a 4-5-1 • Encourage wide defenders to join in the attack at all times to even out the numbers in midfield. They only have 1 player in attack and therefore does not require 5 defenders sitting back at all times.

  15. Choosing the Right Formation • No right or wrong formation • Based on your team’s speed, ability, endurance, field size and speed and ability of opponents. • Experiment in practice and scrimmages

  16. Coaching Formation and Tactics -Players first need to understand the positions and the roles of each position. -Visually show the players. First on clipboard, then on the field. -Without using a ball ask the team to move together to adjust to the ball being in different positions on the field. Then add ball… then add opposition. -IN GAMES; Do not coach or instruct the player on the ball. Example…

  17. When And How To Change Formation • Main reasons for changing formation; • Winning or losing • Player availability, injury or fitness • Can you think of any others?
