    Varied Attacking Options

    With wingers and a target forward, the team has multiple avenues to progress the ball.

    Conflicting Directions

    Pressing vs Counter-Attacking

    High pressing may leave vulnerabilities during counter-attacks, risking quick transitions against them.

    Defensive Solidity

    Using Full-Backs on Support may lead to breaches if they are caught out of position.

    Ball Overload in Midfield

    Potential congestion if too many players occupy similar areas in midfield.

    Tactical Suggestions

    Adjust Full-Back Duties

    Consider switching one Full-Back to Attack duty to create width and depth in attack.

    Incorporate a Playmaker Role

    Adding a Deep-Lying Playmaker could enhance midfield control and distribution.

    Increase pressing intensity

    Encourage a higher pressing trigger to regain possession quickly.
