4 Popular Formations

4-4-2
4-3-3
4-5-1
5-3-2
4-4-2
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.
4-3-3
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.
4-5-1
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.
5-3-2
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.
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
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…
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?
