    Team Shape Without Ball

    Shape:4-1-4-1
    Description:The formation transitions into a compact setup, with the BWM shielding the defence.
    Evidence:BWM-De at [3,3] supports a strong defensive base while CBs hold central positions.

    Team Shape With Ball

    Shape:4-3-3
    Description:Width is emphasized through the use of Full-Backs joining the attack and Inside Forwards cutting inside.
    Evidence:CWB-S at [2,5] and IF-A at [6,1]/[6,4] create space for the CF at [6,3].

    Phase Description

    Attacking Play

    The team focuses on creating width using the flanks and utilizing the pace of Inside Forwards to exploit spaces.

    Defensive Transition

    The team pressures immediately upon losing possession to regain control quickly, with an organized transition into defense.

    Main Focus

    Utilizing the creativity from the midfield and width provided by Full-Backs and Inside Forwards.

    Key Strengths

    Creative Midfield

    The combination of Bellingham, McAtee, and Garner provides a well-rounded midfield that can switch between defensive duties and offensive support.

    Fluid Attack

    Inside Forwards can interchange with the Complete Forward, creating confusion for defenders.

    Dynamic Wing Play

    Complete Wing-Backs and Inside Forwards stretch the opposition and create more attacking opportunities.

    Conflicting Directions

    Exposure in Wide Areas

    With two Inside Forwards and overlapping Full-Backs, space may be left behind for counter-attacks.

    High Defensive Line Risks

    Utilizing a high defensive line and offside trap may lead to vulnerabilities against fast strikers.

    Midfield Transition

    If possession is lost, the lack of a purely defensive midfielder may leave gaps.

    Tactical Suggestions

    Adjust pressing strategy

    Reducing pressure on build-up plays to allow opponents to be drawn into the midfield could create counter opportunities.

    Consider a more balanced midfield

    Including a more defensive midfielder may offer stability if the BWM is drawn out of position.

    Utilize additional width

    Encouraging Full-Backs to overlap more may stretch the opposition when the ball is on the opposite flank.
