I felt the exact same and yeah I agree too! It's a shame FIFA doesn't have more variety in tactics to be more precise cause I'd love having the ability to make your own tactics that aren't just ones you have to pick from. If like been able to make my own unique ones that nobody has used before or thought of

Well, he just got a new subscriber :]

In 1980, I was coaching a U15 team. At that time, many here in the US were still learning the rudiments of the game. We were using the 4-3-3 but didn't really know it, as the fourth defender was the 'sweeper'.... remember those? We languished midtable for several years until, after much thought, I put my best player at center half, changed the midfield to a triangle with the center up and the others back (as shown in the video), and changed the name of the center half to 'forward sweeper'. I encouraged the forward sweeper to 'underlap' the outside forwards when appropriate while keeping his defensive responsibilities in mind. We destroyed nearly everyone we played over the next three years, with average skilled players on the pitch.

I’m not a huge fan of the 4-4-2. I lite to have lots of mids and 2 strikers sort of hinders that. I prefer the 4-5-1 (or 4-3-3 however you look at it) or the 3-6-1 (or 3-4-3). In a fifa manager mode I though of a 2-7-1. That’s the type of person I am.

My academy has been trying to teach these principles to the players for a year with little to no results but you've explained then perfectly in under 15 minutes. I honestly wish we sometimes had strictly tactical training, as all weaknesses and setbacks you explained are what's keeping us from finishing top of the league. (we often finish 3rd or 4th due to individual games where we concede too many goals.)

Thank so much for making informative and high quality videos! You're very underrated but remember the people who use the info in the videos are extremely grateful for you.

Great review. I'm playing football manager and sometimes I get confused with the roles I should give to my players but you made it all clear to me. Thumbs up my guy

Great job explaining each individual players duties, my daughters team plays this formation and I’m sure this video will help her and her teammates learn the game that much more! Thanks again.

Excellent description of roles, thanks man I'm learning a lot please create more content explaining other formations as well👏👏

great talk. I have played a 4-2-3-1 and is very similar to the 4-3-3 . When you attack from a 4-2-3-1 in theory you would become a 4-3-3. Only different is when saying it as a 4-2-3-1 the wingers understand they have to go back and defend where as a 4-3-3 they might think they can stay up front. when choosing a formation you have to play to the strength of your players and not forcing them into doing that they are not good at.

Personally had a bit of an opposite problem with the 4231, where the attacking and defensive mids would both stay too "literal" to their named roles and leave a big gab between them, both ruining our build up and leaving us with vulnerable spaces in opposite possession... Meanwhile it then worked much better as a set 433, as the three centre mids were much more focused on their roles as actual "midfielders" and the attacking wings knowing they also needed to support the perimeter defense whenever the opponent attacked on their side.. As another benefit, in the 433 the CF/"9" was supported better in our attack than it was playing as a 4231... Strange enough, as they are fairly similar systems, but I guess it ultimately always comes down to the individual players and their understanding/interpretation of the roles that they're given 🤷🏻‍♂️

This video is absolutely stellar. I usually know the basic ideas of a formation but struggle to properly articulate it whenever I'm talking. Not only that, but the USMNT, the national team I follow, employs this formation with the absence of a creator, and it always feels like a struggle to make chances in open play. Because of this, a lot of people are calling for Musah or Reyna to start in that position instead of on the wing, but we've yet to see Gregg Berhalter do anything of the sort. You also made note of the biggest weakness of the USMNT this year - our transition from offense to defense is usually slow and dangerously so.

Good video. I have to say I was a fan of the 3-5-2 formation, for its flexibility and fluidity, you have to look at balance and as I like to have that and wingers, thjis seems to win the day.Not withstanding that England, to add to the list of teams you mention won a worldcup with this 4 3 3, it kind of speaks for itself. I enjoyed it and have subscribed to your channel

Wow really enjoyed this video.

Fantastic video, I will recommend it to all my players for the next season

Both as a player (when I played, select traveling team, middle school team, HS Varsity and in College) and later on as a coach - my favorite formation is/was a straight/flat 4-3-3 or attacking 4-3-3 with the left and right midfielders playing out wide. The defenders would cover from our goal to just a little over the midfield line, the outside mid would cover from our 18 to their 18 (except for the center mid who cover from our goal line to just over their 18, the offensive wingers would cover from just inside our half to their goal line and the striker would cover from just within our half to their goal line. I started out as the starting goalie and then later on I moved to a field player and was usually the starting center mid and at times (on my select team) the starting striker; unless the other team had all-star player (such as when I played against former American National and WC team captain Team Ramos (in a u-19 tournament) - then I'd be the starting center mid, mark him and shut him down. The 4-3-3 is also most balanced, yet attacking formation and the best formation for either "long ball" or a combination of "short ball" and "long ball". The key to the 4-3-3 working is the center-mid (which is like the QB in American football) he/she controls the midfield, the game and the pace - if you don't have a quality center mid; then your best to play a 4-4-2 or a 3-5-2. In brief.

Amazing content 👍

Hi am new to this video and am very impressed by the way you explained the 433. This formation i use all the time playing fifa cuz its very dinamic and its well balanced and works really well in transitioning. Who knows one day i can see coaching as a career
