No Nonsense Centre Back – Defend – All I want these guys to do is defend tight in our half and recycle the ball near the halfway. The hope is that with a support role the start position will be higher. Sweeper Keeper – Support – The team will be pressing high and aggressively, with the maximum pressing line available and the highest possible defensive line. Fast football with the intent to score, not as a defensive tool.īreaking down the ideas behind the roles. Possession was not that important, at least not possession for the sake of it. I did not want to overdo it with instructions, keeping things simple, but with a few key points. My suspicion was that with the match engine this system would have to press high, the wide players would need to stay wide and rely on runners from midfield. I felt that the RB Leipzig squad would be a good candidate for such a system, pulling Werner out to a wide role. Initially I wanted to try to make the tactic strikerless. I found this fascinating and thought it would be an interesting experiment to create a 3-Box-3 formation on Football Manager. They used this seemingly modern system in the 1930s. Brazilian football has hugely influenced the evolution of the full back role in modern football.īefore the era of moving players to what we would now recognise as full backs Flamengo used a 3-2-2-3 or 3-Box-3 formation. At the time I was running my 4-4-2 with Flamengo, fulfilling Brazilian traditions with buccaneering full backs. While reading an article in The Blizzard I came across a section about tactical development in Brazilian football. There becomes a desire for creating something different. Success is great but eventually the team stories (resurrecting Depor) or player stories (Lincoln scoring 1000 goals for Flamengo) start to grow tiresome. This 4-4-2 has proven effective everywhere, yielding trophies galore. The match engine seems to be set up in such a way that two striker formations are very effective, crosses are devastating and at certain points inverted full backs have been super powered. For a very long time I have used a version of 4-4-2 on FM.
